BTC price 'issues' include $70K dip despite Bitcoin whale accumulation
2024-11-17

Bitcoin BTCUSD risks “short-term issues” on its route to six figures — including a correction to nearly $70,000.
In one of its Quicktake market updates on Nov. 16, onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant said BTC price action may see some “healthy cooling.”
BTC price analysis considers “healthy cooling”
Bitcoin continues to circle $90,000 as week-to-date gains approach 13% into the weekly close.
Joining those suggesting that a new consolidation phase could come next for BTCUSD, CryptoQuant contributor BaroVirtual put the potential downside target at just above $70,000.
The reason, it argues, lies in two moving average (MA) trend lines, now nearly 20% apart.
“The position of the price chasers (7d and 30d MAs) indicates that we are seeing intense, healthy buying pressure on Bitcoin, which is a very positive signal,” the post stated. 

An accompanying chart puts the rate of BTC price upside over the past week in context, with a record-breaking $9,000 daily candle on Nov. 11 alone.
Explaining why bulls could temporarily run out of steam, CryptoQuant drew comparisons to previous runs toward all-time highs.
Bitcoin whales show no sign of selling
As Cointelegraph reported, the idea that the bull run will pause before $100,000 hits is far from new. 
Some see a long-awaited retest of newly won support levels, while bearish opinions see the chance of BTCUSD crashing to $50,000 or lower.
CryptoQuant data nonetheless shows that investor conviction remains solid at current levels, with whales of all classes accumulating through new all-time highs.
“It’s interesting to note the balance of new whales, which has increased rapidly and could also indicate that more whales have been created recently,” fellow contributor Darkfost wrote.
