LIVEBitcoin Price Prediction: Why Whales Eschew Buying BTC Despite Drop To $60,000?
The rally to the new all-time high of $73,737 can majorly be attributed to the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January. Prior to the nod on January 10, sentiment had been improving as investors bought the rumor.
This increase in volume also ignited a parabolic rise in BTC as demand surged. So far, the ETF has attracted $11.67 billion in cumulative total net inflow. BlackRock’s ETF emerged as the best performer in terms of daily net inflow while Grayscale’s has continued to record negative daily net inflow.
According to market data by SoSoValue, the recent downturn in Bitcoin price has quickly impacted investor sentiment, resulting in a daily total net inflow of $326 million.
Should the negative forces in the market intensify and Bitcoin price falls below $60,000, the ETFs could face more negative daily total net inflows.
Investors may be jitter about buying the Bitcoin dip amid falling ETF volumes. The ETF fuelled the recent rally to all-time highs and without it, the price could drop below $60,000 reflecting the norm of a pre-halving retrace.
Bitcoin holds above the previous day’s open — a minor bullish signal. At the same level is the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (the purple line on the chart), further reinforcing the bullish outlook on the four-hour chart.
A descending trendline drawn to show key levels shows that Bitcoin price has climbed above the middle boundary support/resistance and shows signs of reaching $65,000 (the upper boundary) in the upcoming few sessions.
With Bitcoin holding below the indicators — the 20-day EMA and the 50-day EMA (blue and red lines on the chart, recovery may not gain momentum as quickly with consolidation between $60,000 and $65,000 lasting longer.
The RSI although not oversold, currently oscillates below the midline (50) in the neutral region. Traders would like to see this indicator moving toward the overbought region to validate the potential uptrend.
