The crypto community is abuzz with speculation regarding FTX, the once-dominant exchange, allegedly influencing crypto prices in the latter half of 2022. However, the downfall of FTX in November 2022 has revealed an intriguing connection: the rise in substantial BTC holdings seems to correspond with the surge in Bitcoin’s market value.
The downfall of FTX reportedly lifted a significant pressure on the market, paving the way for Bitcoin’s resurgence. Coincidentally, a rise in the number of 10+ BTC wallets was seen right after the exchange’s closure, hinting at a potential link between these occurrences.
This emerging pattern reflects a growing trust among major players who are now reallocating their funds within the decentralized realm. With the swelling, wallets comes a surge in market optimism, sparking discussions on Bitcoin’s future price directions.
Bitcoin Struggles to Maintain Key Levels Despite Increased Holdings
Bitcoin is currently struggling to maintain its crucial price levels, hovering at $66,249.65. While a slight uptick is visible on the daily chart; the weekly chart indicates a 5% decrease. The recent drop to $65,005, marking its lowest point in almost a month, seems to stem from various factors.
Seth, a well-known market analyst, shared insights on the current market situation, predicting that BTC is likely to undergo a long liquidation at 65.6K before surging to 72K by next week. This forecast resonates with the expectations of many observers eagerly anticipating a bullish upturn in Bitcoin’s performance.
My Opinion is that #BTC liquidate long again round 65.6K before going up next week to 72K.
Take a grain of salt when I share my trading Ideas. Trading is about speculation and not certainty.
