Yesterday, you saw some posts that some whales sold amounts of their pepe currency and that it will decrease, but today the opposite has increased. Therefore, if you saw my post before this, I warn you against some recommendations because the whales are the ones who publish them, and they are nothing but mines for us, so beware of some posts.
Most of the people who send news to their wallets are investors with high quantities who instill fear in those who are younger than them and give them negative news in order to make them sell at a loss. They are the ones who buy from us. Everyone holds on to their currencies and do not believe them. The market is going up, going up, if it does not go up today then tomorrow, and if it does not go up this week, it will go up in the future. The important second week is to hold on to your coins and do not believe what they say and remember my words

Open Interest reached levels reminiscent of 2021, totaling $12.5 billion at the moment. The majority of OI was associated with December 2023 calls, followed by November 2023 calls.
Regarding specific strike prices, there was a shift in the top strike prices, moving from the range of 29,000 to 32,500 to reaching 40,000. Short gamma positions were notable in the market, particularly from 36,000 to 40,000, indicating sensitivity to Bitcoin's price movements for those who had sold options.
Bitcoin maintained stability above $34,000 for five consecutive days. Long-term holders held their positions, while some long-term holders decided to take profits, marking a significant profit-taking event. Nonetheless, this profit-taking event might not have a substantial long-term impact.
