I have a pretty good feeling that Bitstamp is going to launch either Wednesday night or Thursday morning (just going off of prior news/release announcements--it looks like that's their pattern for releases). This roll-out might be different, but given that they said, "in the next week" the other day, and Thursday still falls within that promise, I'm going with that for now.
Additionally, looking at the buy/sell support in GDAX and the LTC/BTC makes me think we are heading to a drop to somewhere between 25-27 before the bitstamp launch. Then we are boarding the rocket ship.
