That FUD about them backing off did some damage though. It's a great example of how people react to bearish news in a bear market and at the same time how little or no effect have bullish news. You can put some unimportant bearish FUD and people start ripping their hair out, but when this gets busted nothing happens. People who sold are afraid to go back in because what if there's some new FUD and another panic. The strangest part is that people never learn and it will happen again in the next cycle.
It's not clear to me that the dump happened because of these "Goldman Sachs rejecting bitcoin" news. These were released about the same time that the news of 800,000 BTC moving, which of course started more FUD rumors about being satoshi and whatnot. From what i've seen it's pretty much MtGox wallets related goodness all over again, the same cyclical bullshit to scare newbies which creates a nice straight red candle to pick up some more cheap coins.
Goldman Sach's and co will not fully endorse bitcoin until the price is lower and most people are demoralized (after selling their cheap coins to them). The elite will never fully endorse BTC until you all have sold yours to them at low prices.
