Are the price manipulators even trying? The market has been doing completely random shit lately. It's like it's not even about money anymore. They are just trolling everybody for lulz at this point.
wow that's escalated quickly, up $20 within a few hours, can anyone here to explain the reason?
Someone could be trying to prop the price up.
Huobi:
And it probably involves lent money (even if it started before all the money was lent).
Bitfinex USD swaps:
It seems I was right. The pump just delayed the dump. (Though we didn't actually go below the previous price level, so maybe it's too soon for me to gloat.)
I wouldn't say so. This whole rally began, because the downwardly lines were broken and the traders have been chasing their upwardly lines since. Until now, at least...
No. 'This whole rally' began because a bunch of Chinese gamblers/exchange owners got together to fleece some starry-eyed idiots. Idiots who wanted to make money in their pajamas and stick it to daddy The Man at the same time. With no education. With zero understanding of economics. Vulnerable, susceptible idiots just asking to get raped. Repeatedly.
That might be true, but even so the manipulators definitely capitalized on the whole "the downtrend broke, it's safe to buy now" thing.
None of it makes any sense. The lines giveth and the lines taketh away.
But mostly, it taketh away.

If the market is rigged TA is useless, except perhaps for the market riggers, who can paint whatever pretty picture they want with the price moves, including dragging TA-'sensitive' bots up, down and sideways, like bulls being led by a nose-ring ... in which case it is more rigged than you imagine.
That's exactly as rigged as I imagine.
ITS NOT RIGGED!
bitcoin is meant to have manipulators sometimes there are more active manipulators then there are fish, who cares. bitcoin has value because its fun to hit buy/sell with a small 50K, program bots to keep the candle up or down for you.. anything goes, it doesn't make sense to regulate market trader activity; is it illegal to wast 1million dollars to trigger stop loses and sell into them?
My point was that the manipulators are definitely aware of TA.
