Elon Musk's Influence On Crypto Might Be Fading Away, Analysts Suggest

Large Bitcoin BTC/USD traders and investors — so-called whales — bought the coin after it crashed following some of the latest of Elon Musk's tweets, and analysts suggested the Tesla TSLA CEO influence might be fading.

What Happened: According to a report published by blockchain analytics firm Santiment on Friday, wallets containing between 100 BTC to 10,000 BTC added 50,000 BTC to their cumulative holdings — about $1.95 billion — in the past ten days.

Popular cryptocurrency trader Crypto Ed indicated that the coin needed to hit $36,000 again before resuming its ascent.

Bloomberg Intelligence also argued in a recent report that the overall cryptocurrency market is currently "discounted and refreshed" and that the leading cryptocurrency is “more likely to resume appreciating toward $100,000 resistance rather than sustaining below $20,000."
