This is perhaps a bit of a wild theory, but as a bear, I do not trust right now to be a good time to be short Bitcoin, but a bear I have to remain because my gut tells me that I have got to be at this point in time in addition to my Tech Analysis 101 skills adding weight to the bearish case by the day, especially the break down from the 3 week long descending triangle a few days ago.

I am not just bearish, I sense that there is going to be a slaughter. I am musing over the idea of Bitcoin taking a ostensible bullish leap forward before the bloodbath, simply because this would be the absolutely most brutal scenario that could possibly play out, and the Bitcoin world is a ruthless cut-throat shark infested world.

Why would you think that one would want to liquidate all at once? Just wondering.
It wouldn't be wise, comparing to dump in a slow manner (or portions).

It's little bit contradicts with my previous post, but previous is more of a theory.

Just look at the order book of any exchange.

That not helps, cause it's not accounting for orders not in the book, and real "walls" might be way, way bigger (I assume biggest players using trading bots).

btw it's also would be nice to understand what amount of btc each stock is holding (assuming some of them do provide shorting btc with leverage).
