Bitcoin Price Update

Gox is quickly losing influence. Lots of liquidity, but also many problems withdrawing USD, hence the $10 price difference. Also lots of old coin there with bots trading it back and forth. Not the place to be if you're a new trader.

Watch Bitstamp and btcchina to get a better overall picture.
 
I guess this is first time a 3B market cap has been realised according to mt GOX price?
 
take a look at your weekly chart.

This is bitstamp since it seems to be popular these days. But same levels in place across the board for the most part.

Basically, there is a stable trend since BTC broke out it's $30 cap. I have that trend marked in yellow.

At this time, BTC is extremely overbought, more so than it was on the initial breakout. This is because volume is about 2/3rd less with prices being about the same. So don't see that in this particular snapshot since bitstamp is a much smaller slice of the overall market.

Suffice to say, there is approximately 2/3 less volume in the overall market now than when we saw prices at these levels earlier this year.

I believe this level is definitely a medium to long term top. Pressure is certainly on to sell.

I have 3 levels I am watching on the down trend.

200, 150 and 100 approximately. I will be a buyer at all those levels.

I am also watching 300 level. If somehow the price manages to crack 300, I suspect the price will quickly double up to 600. Not holding my breath on that call.

I look for a nice bounce off 200 in the counter trend, then again at 150, and ultimately a reach down to the major stable support line somewhere around 100+.

I predict the next major low is 113.05 in about 6 weeks. Just in time for Christmas profit taking.

Shouldn't we be figuring in "psychological barriers" in other currencies, too? It is my understanding, after all, that the 1000 "barrier" for the BTC in the Yuan was what kicked this surge off in the first place.

I have a $500 top, but would be content with a crash. I've set aside money to buy a certain amount over the next 8 weeks...of course once I'm done with that the price will finally drop. :p

I had a different strategy. I sold and the price immediately skyrocketed!
 
The guy with the 4.5k sell wall at $267 is going to get burned. First time I've seen Stamp consistently ahead of Gox.

those aren't really psychological levels on the technical chart tho. Yes, I've looked at the other currencies, the pattern is the same for the charts we have full data on.

The 1000 yuan barrier correlates very nicely with the breaking of the 150 resist level in the USD that goes all the back to the bounce of the crash lows in march.

I try not to pay too much attention to the number and look more at the pattern. Interestingly enough, gox has cracked 300 rather handily, we'll see if the rest of the market comes along. If so, eeshh.. I will be wrong and pretty much be stuck waiting for ANY significant dip to reenter.
 
I got out at 310. This jenga tower is too tall for my nerves.
