My point was more that many people are saying this is just a normal correction and the price was going down already regardless of the news, whereas there is also the possibility that some people may get the news before others and lead these corrections
It could go quite a bit lower. If the remaining Chinese banks close deposit methods over the next couple of days, combined with public holidays in Europe and US, that will be a lot of days with no cash flowing in to any exchanges
Do all you guys shouting your TA around realise that in this instance the TA had nothing to do with it? We only bounced from your resistance levels due to the 'news', who knows what it would have done otherwise
One peep out of China pimpslaps btc up or down a few hundred. I thought the gold market was manipulated, but this is insanity. Expect heavy dumps when China wakes up in a few hrs.
We are at the mercy of chinese traders. They get the news firsthand and sets the Trend, some bots that follows CNY movements eats part of the cake. That is why pricing has been unpredictable for westerners. And I am totally uncomfortable with that. Until Huobi/okcoin gets shut down by PBOC or move out of china, I'm keeping my Fiat out of this gamble.
I agree, this current pump has no follow through. Soon it'l retrace back to 500, afterwards sub 460 to test some support. This rally will end soon as it cannot be sustained by enough bids (less than $11 million bids) and has been fueled mainly by china and previous sellers who believes 340 as bottom and getting back in. To summarize, bitcoiners have short memory about the situation with pboc and is currently blinded by 'fear' of missing the fantomatic moon train.
Pretty accurate analysis.
How? Yes it was proven right, but the catalyst was more news from China rather than not enough bids. Right but for the wrong reasons
each time Bitcoin price starts going up an article like that one popup, I find it really fishy, and fuck this shit, I am not trading this and I will be holding to my coins.....
good luck and see you in a couple of months.
Yeah, the timing is very suspicious. Some of this stuff has been coming out in the middle of the night over there.
Maybe the government are just trying to reinforce their point - "see we told you it was volatile and it would cost you money, come back to our banks where you are nice and safe"
To rationally decide to not buy a lot of bitcoins, you have to explain why it is impossible for Bitcoin to replace fiat (as a store of value, at least).
No you don't, you just need to explain why it is very unlikely. Just because something is possible doesn't mean it is probable. And I can think of a whole raft of reasons why it is improbable
sodl oout bulls might start getting nervous soon ... not so much train leaving station but rocket blasts off unexpectedly.
This is where I am and haven't gotten my first btc yet...waiting on the verification. Scared it'll end up at 900 bucks by Monday or Tuesday when they finally hook me up.
Curious about something if anyone here might know...I read somewhere in this forum something about the value of btc being coded in the math, that it can always be known how much it will be worth and how it will increase in value due to the code or whatever and that it's coded to increase exponentially. If that's knowable because of the code itself then why all the speculation?
It could be based on the reward halving, with the assumption that less BTC being created = lower supply = higher price. For that to work though you are assuming that the demand is there. Theres nothing in the code that says "on this day it is worth $x"
Right - I know it isn't predictable to any given day, but it seemed like what I read was about we'll always know what btc is worth in real value, not artificially inflated or deflated, and based on - which is where it's sketchy but I *think* it was based on something like how many people are buying or making transactions the value is calculated so the ups and downs are knowable.
I've read so friggin much on here it's hard to remember it specifically but that was the impression it gave me - that the match behind bitcoin provides some calculation that tells what the value is and going to be based on use or something.
Anyway, no problem...just curious Thanks!
Ah yeah people have made loads of graphs linking the price to transactions, Google search trends, number of posts on this forum etc. Thats not really something in the code though, it is more a measure of adoption and since its based on historical data its not really useful for predicting more than an month or so in advance
