lol of it goes up they scream "natural growth", "organic rise" ...
if it goes down its "manipulation"  or "rigged crypto markets"

those dumps are very natural too, real people selling, for whatever reason

i hope you didnt motivate anyone now to dump it down to 299

[2] Why would you use that instead? Seems like a possible password grabber.

Werent you leaving if it were to hit under 0.0035?

I think overall the low volatility turns traders off XMR. XMR tend not to move much.

You are joking, right? The price has risen from 0.001 to 0.0042 over a few weeks. Sure the intra day volatility isn't massive, but monero is a very thinly traded market which even I could move if I wished.

There is little doubt that the chart is being painted. But dumping xmr back to 0.001 is as good as killing the coin for the foreseeable future IMO. Things could get very interesting as the bitcoin halving approaches and if we get a rally in chosen alts if bitcoin breaks out then monero could increase it's extremely modest market cap hugely. Of course if bitcoin crashes then what happens in alts could be very unpredictable, they could crater or it is possible that eth and xmr could rise if bitcoin gets into perceived existential trouble amongst more holders with regards to the intransigence displayed by the developers over scaling efforts.

Things I would like to see are 1) working cross platform GUI, 2) increased number of nodes and hashing power protecting the chain, 3) some increased use cases appearing (even some DNM usage wouldn't be a bad thing IMO).

We all make bad trade sometimes, you just have to suck it up.  There have been many times I regretted a position I took, both buy and sell.  Sometime you end up holding the bag, if the fundamentals are sound eventually fortunes reverse.

There's no doubt I made a bad trade, but that really isn't the issue. Trying to break the trend line so you can buy at 250k is the issue. I'm just tired of wasting time on TA in markets that move according to the greed of a small number of individuals. So yeah, even if it doesn't go to 299k I'm pretty close to taking my profits while I still have them. Forex was more complicated because of how much has to be considered in the fundamentals, but at least when things happen you can figure out why and the answer isn't "because someone put up a huge buy/sell wall".

Thanks for the replies GingerAle, Debruyne. Exciting developments on their way. I'll just continue to hold my XMR and see where we end up in a year or two.

Because there's no real reason for it to go to 299k unless someone dumps hard or manages to force it down. I don't expect them to succeed and I doubt 335k is the best we'll see. If they DO succeed I will simply lose faith in my (or ANYONE'S) ability to predict these markets when individuals hold such large shares of it, and that will cause me to go elsewhere.
