Yeah and on Sept 9th and 11th it "caused" a strong up move.. so..

Btw.: It's kind of logical that the bidsum drops when price drops since alot of bid orders have to be filled.

I really wish the blockchained data could be parsed better than the last 15 days or 2 years.  It would also be nice to adjust the zoom better.

Sorry, but those Y-axis labels are arbitrary.  Bids and ask touching mean nothing.  See, the longer term chart shows something different:

has sight of the white whale driven you to madness?

That's absolutely right.

Mostly, I dont like trading in this market because is too unpredictable. Volume is low and there is a scarcity of coins which IMO is artificially produced by Gox's problems. On the other side, the order book at Bitstamp, especially the bid side, is a joke.

I tried to arbitrage with a few k's and I failed miserably. 3 weeks waiting for Gox's fiat until I cancelled the withdrawal. Ill a wait a little to see if I can buy cheaper, and then I'm leaving Gox until they solve their liquidity problems.

This is my thinking, too.

I say we are building another nice parabolic base. Target peak $400 to $500 by end of the year.
