Whoever is dumping hired a professional trader. They hammered the bid side, then went fallow for a while. let the market think the storm has passed. If or when the bid side fills in again, fire the second fusillade. If the bid side doesn't fill in, go in and BUY to paint the tape. (After a hammering, the offer side tends to be thin, so one can ramp the price quite easily and cheaply.) That tends to attract believers who think there's a bargain to be had. When the bid is thick...BOOM ! Hammer it yet again. Rinse and repeat until the majority of the position is unloaded. The price action has been impressive. Charts are meaningless in this sort of panic selling. Watch the tape, because that is where the information lies, not some chart point. What should be concerning is that this began in earnest on a weekend. That suggests a truly desperate seller, which may well turn out to be a bank holding crypto as collateral for a loan gone bad.

No the timing (early Saturday morning) was not desperation, it was planned. They hoped to catch the market sleeping when they offloaded the huge volumes that smashed the 20K resistance level. And yes I agree with you it was orchestrated and did not happen by chance. We should also not overlook the fact that it might also be paid downrampers in the house.

To be a good trader one needs to be a cynic. I have never worked for a fund, bank or the like. But I did have my own investment company in Australia for over 30 years. I traded actively. I recall my highest turnover for one year was circa 16.2 million. I am currently entirely in cash including my super. I plan to move heavily into the crytpo space. And this is a significant opportunity. I am interested in where the bottom lies, as a fundie you will know that that is a nebulous question at best, but it is a topic worth debating. I think a question that needs to also be raised is what percentage of this current correction in crypto is panic selling and what percentage is paid downramping in the attempt to create more significant opportunities for the manipulators. Is that cynical enough for you? Edited June 19, 2022 by Adumbration 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
