Bitcoin’s Wild Ride ๐ŸŽข

What’s the haps, folks? ๐Ÿค”

  • Bitcoin‘s surfing the waves of exchange order-book liquidity like a pro, but those gnarly gains are plateauing around $120,000, dude. ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ

  • Bid support is all, “Hey, let’s take it easy and head back below $119,000 for a bit,” and we’re like, “Sounds good to us, bid support!” ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  • But wait, one trader is all, “Pump and dump, baby! Don’t get caught with your pants down!” ๐Ÿšจ

Bitcoin (BTC) is just chillin’ at the Monday Wall Street open, consolidating those sweet gains while analysts are all, “Correction incoming, folks!” ๐Ÿ“‰

BTC price cools down amid “rug pull” warnings ๐Ÿšจ

Data from CryptoMoon Markets Pro and TradingView shows BTC/USD just hangin’ out around $121,000 as the week’s first US trading session gets underway. ๐Ÿ“Š

New all-time highs near $123,250? Yeah, that happened. And Bitcoin’s still up over 10% in a week. Not too shabby, if you ask us! ๐Ÿคฉ

But Material Indicators is all, “Hey, don’t get too comfy, folks! That $BTC buy wall at $120.5k might be a trap!” ๐Ÿ˜ณ

โ€œThat $BTC buy wall at $120.5k seems like it may be there to lure in late longs before a support test.โ€

An accompanying chart shows order-book liquidity for the BTC/USDT trading pair on largest global exchange Binance. Because who doesn’t love a good chart? ๐Ÿ“ˆ

โ€œWatch out for a rug pull if price gets close,โ€ Material Indicators adds. Because nobody likes a good rug pull, am I right? ๐Ÿ˜‚

โ€œThe cycle top is not in yet, but there should be a support test before a sustainable run through $130k.โ€

As CryptoMoon reported, order-book liquidity manipulation has been the name of the game in recent months. Because who needs actual trading skills when you can just manipulate the market? ๐Ÿคฃ

The latest data from CoinGlass shows key support starting at $118,800. So, you know, just a minor 2% correction. No biggie. ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Total BTC short liquidations in the 24 hours to the time of writing? A cool $432 million. Because who doesn’t love a good liquidation? ๐Ÿ’ธ

โ€œWe need to be aware of more manipulation,โ€ popular trader CrypNuevo says. Because, you know, manipulation is just part of the game. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€œThis could also be part of a pump-and-dump weekly pattern. Caution.โ€

Pro traders stay “selective” at $120,000 ๐Ÿค‘

Amid a lack of classic signs of “FOMO,” trading firm QCP Capital is all, “Hey, we’re good. We’re just gonna stay optimistic and stuff.” ๐Ÿ˜Š

โ€œThis could reflect a maturing market dynamic, and the same could be said for ETH,โ€ they write in their latest bulletin to Telegram channel subscribers. Because who doesn’t love a good bulletin? ๐Ÿ“

โ€œAnother consideration is that traders may be opting to express directional views through perpetuals rather than options, given the elevated cost of optionality in fast-moving markets.โ€

QCP suggests that traders might want to hedge against low-timeframe volatility “while maintaining a longer-term bullish outlook.” Because who doesn’t love a good hedge? ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€œWe maintain our structurally bullish view on BTC, underpinned by continued institutional inflows and macro tailwinds,โ€ they conclude. Because who doesn’t love a good tailwind? ๐Ÿ’จ

โ€œHowever, at current levels, we prefer to be selective and are holding back from chasing the rally in favour of positioning on a pullback, should it occur.โ€

๐Ÿ“ˆ BULLISH: Anthony Pompliano calls Bitcoin the โ€œGreatest Show on Wall Streetโ€ as ETFs, treasuries, retail and sovereign funds pile in at all-time highs.
