Finally Tech has bust through the psychological 100k barrier. Now onto 120k.
I think i may just give all my ISK to Akita T and let her keep 50% of the profit as i'd still end up stinking rich!

I dunno. Not many orders between 104k and 120k. Looks like a last ditch attempt at pushing the price down before it explodes again.
Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows?

Originally by: Elise DarkStar I do. You're wrong. There were no big orders pushing the price down. The biggest order was 400k units, and it was placed after it hit 105k pu on orders no bigger than 100k units, and it's being nibbled down, so obviously not a blocking order.
Seems i was wrong. Badly. It looks like the bubble has burst. Down to 95k and dropping. Everyone is panic selling.

Originally by: Weaselior here is the dirty secret of technetium:
all of us sellers are raking in so much money at a time we really can't be bothered with structuring the orders so they don't nuke the market, so you see these sort of cycles as alliances dump onto the market randomly
On a more serious note (not trying to get accused of shameless manipulation), are these dips ONLY because of the big alliances dumping their stock?
Also surely people must still have massive reserves. If daily consumption is so high for Tech then surely we'd be on a much higher price by now?

Originally by: Coh1ba With the upcoming anouncment of CCP @Fanfest to implement the long overdue Technetium change, tech prices already started to drop by 10% in 24h.
This is pure speculation tho, surely? Yes, after the Dysp change previously you'd expect CCP to do something, but it's not guaranteed at all.

what announcement did i miss? link pls :)
if tech is nerfd something else will become the new bottleneck, want to find out what it is so i can stockpile and become even richer!
still dont think tech is gonna be nerfd tho, its gonna hit 120 this weekend 
There is a large speculative thread in S&I stating the Tech bottleneck was created to make NC rich before removing T2 BPO's and nerfing moon goo. The supposed nerf is going to be making moons 'run out' of it after so much is exracted and/or changing the goo numbers required again like they did with Dysp.
As it stands i can't find anything concrete saying this will happen and feel it's nothing more than pure speculation created to A) Bring Tech down and B) troll.

Originally by: Elise DarkStar We're going through a delayed post-spike slump that is further magnified by extra volumes being cashed in by NC alliances to replace recently lost supercaps in the Geminate supercap arms-race with the DRF. We should have seen this normal cyclical post-spike trough when it peaked 100k pu, but people tried to run it up to 120k pu twice, so we had to wait for the excessively frothy speculative buying to pass.
There will be continued downward pressure as NC alliances continue to liquidate greater volumes than normal sooner than normal, but I think most speculators feel strongly enough about the long-term price that we shouldn't see a crash go much lower than 85k-90k pu.
I do find it funny that some of the most over-zealous speculators are sitting on tech they bought at up to 119k pu, and it will be a good long while before they see the price near that high again.
There was almost 1 million units up for 130k when i checked before work this morning. If they've bought in at anything over 100k then they're in for a bad time.

Originally by: Weaselior A good honest response
By breaking it up you do help keep it a little more stable. You could always dump a nice lump though and create a massive spread for us to make some ISK off whilst it lasts :-)
I did wonder where all those 30k unit orders appeared from. ha, it makes sense now.

Originally by: Ludacrys i smell panic
Wouldn't it be great if people would be panicking enough before the fanfest presentations (which obviously NONE of them would contain any news whatsoever about technetium nor T2 BPOs) so we could rebuy some inventory dirt cheap before it spikes again ?
 P.S. The best part about it is that what we're talking about in here is irrelevant already, thanks to the way rumours (especially unfounded humours) spread from person to person seldom ever citing sources and constantly altering the story a bit... I bet there's people perfectly convinced CCP will actually make a change in technetium while the fanfest is still running or something to that extent.
I must admit. I do sometimes panic. I think it's lack of experience in the markets really. I've only been trading for 6 months. I've made a small fortune but i have also lost a fortune too, by falling for mis-informing forum threads.
Anyway, i imagine Akita T has sold all her Tech stock so is free from any of the current price panic :lol:

Originally by: Coh1ba However, price history of Tech looks like an old man **** where Viagra effects have just been wearing off.
Question this time tho is, will the old man get a new prescription?
I really think buying now isn't that high a risk. It's been pushed down by the scaremongers and once everyone realises that all the speculation is unfounded they'll start buying back up again.
If on the off chance they are right and tech will drop then just hit sell when it's announced and you won't lose that much really.

My opinion of this, although there is a bottle neck, i don't see any urgency from CCP to do anything about it.
I think Tech would have to get alot higher before they'd intervene.
What did Dysp get to before they nerfed it again? It was before my time.

Herman, the MD contra-indicator.
I'm not trying to contradict myself. I'm asking a question! People were worrying over teh big announcement at Fanfest which brought prices down. There wasn't one so i was expecting to go up. But it isn't.
All i'm trying to do is understand the item and it's behaviour. I've not been doing this for years like you people and haven't got trillions of ISK either. Just a wee trader trying to find his place!

Originally by: Elise DarkStar I've been pulling the tech price down for about a week with incremental sell orders and filling up on low 90ks pu buy orders. I woke up this morning and didn't feel like putting the effort in anymore (it's small, but I'm that lazy), so I bought out the rest up to 99k pu.
We are in a natural sluggish phase, but the <100k pu dip was completely artificial. I think the price will continue to meander along between 100k and 105k pu for at least another month. The artificially low price has created a glut of cheap plat tech and advanced mats that will take a while to clear even after their prices drop (well, plat tech will definitely drop, maybe fullerides a little, nanos should stay stable).
Unless some big money speculators try to run it up, and I doubt they will because they didn't buy it out at <100k pu, then my recommendations stay the same
short (a few days): sell medium (1 week-1 month): hold/sell long (>1 month): hold/buy
Oh i love this thread. I almost sprayed my tea over my work computer.
Elise did say, and anyone that didn't pay attention has completely missed out!

Originally by: Elise DarkStar 1m units of tech at <106k pu, 700k units of plat tech at <57k pu. The price isn't going anywhere but down. I'm looking forward to seeing the volumes traded over the weekend, but any hope of a big rally is dashed. Time to buckle down for another long wait.
Prime time to crash and scoop if anyone is interested and has the time/funds.
Heh, you're worse than me! Keep it up tho, it's amusing.

Originally by: Elise DarkStar Tech is set for another 10% bounce in a week or so unless some big speculation money moves it up before that.
Short: sell
Medium: buy
Long: buy
I still feel people are frightened to buy in at 100k. It's clear that there isn't going to be any negative change from CCP. So as with most other items in Eve if it's still profitable (some reactions can make 15-20k profit) then it's still got room to increase in value.

Originally by: Dhaaran stuff
I read somewhere that after 120k Tech stops being profitable to use in reactions. I dunno if this is true or not. If it is then surely we'd need to see a bump in T2 prices before Tech can comfortably break 120k.
Don't i just wish all the Tech i sold at 50k i'd of kept!

Originally by: Ludacrys Tech is going down again later, there are just not enough buy orders, i would advice you let it go down to at least 80k before trying to play speculation games so we all win
There are those among us who would suggest that the crashing Tech prices are merely coincidental with the sudden increase in Thulium buy orders....
But that would be speculating. 
You people pushing Thulium are failing so hard. If Tech is worth **** all then why has someone just bought around 50b up off the market making me a small fortune?

Well i'm not saying names (it's clear by buying a unit) but someone is doing their best to push it down. Dumping stockpiles at 96k when the next price is 103k.
How long will that sit there for? It's still a highly demanded item. Only a week or so back someone put a B/O for millions of units at 120k. DIdn't even buy up from the sell orders. Just paid everyone below 120k. |

should be 20k sells, 5k buys by monday morning normal person tz (na).
Gratz to those who listened, rofl at those who didnt get out at 80k/90k, enjoy getting a quarter of that.
What better way to hurt the Russians taking over the north than to crash the reason they're there. If the Tech moons seem worthless then NC leave with a smug grim on their faces.
Still doesn't get round the fact that the moons don't pump out enough to satisfy daily demand. Therefore once all the speculation holders get out of Tech then it can only go back up. Its gonna be a slow burner, but it'll be back over 100k by Sept.

Bounce back like Alan Partridge (possibly wasted English humour)

Although your intent is clear it's also a good call. Neo will hit 35k+ in no time. There is only a few billion ISK worth below 30k. Once that's bought up it jumps up into the 40's.
