Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices breaching the $87,000 mark, More Crypto Online predicts the rising possibility of crypto king reaching the long-term target zone of $100,000 to $130,000. Revealing his personal trading strategy, he expects to hold around 40% of core position. He plans to exit if key support levels break, signalling the onset of a potential bear market.
However, Michaёl van de Poppe sees a massive bearish divergence on the BTC chart indicating a trend reversal should be near.
Santiment data noted that over the past year, whale and shark wallets with at least 10 BTC have accumulated a total of 234,150 bitcoin, now worth $19.76 billion. The on-chain platform sees that the price spike can largely be attributed to the continued confidence and accumulation from these large key stakeholders.
It further noted that consistent FUD, capitulation events and inconsistent faith in crypto have contributed to the run up. Its prediction: "prices can climb as long as whales continue buying more and the retail crowd keeps selling them their cheap coins during small dips."
Income Sharks drew a comparison to historical patterns, stating that this is no different than the prior election years of 2016 and 2020.
What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
