Traders prepare for BTC price volatility toward $100,000<\/h2>\n
Bitcoin saw only a modest dip into the latest record-breaking weekly close, leaving shorts on the losing end.<\/p>\n
Above $90,000 into the week\u2019s first Wall Street open, BTC\/USD is sustaining momentum while already being up 30% month-to-date, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirms.<\/p>\n \u201cSo far the usual weekly open bid has lifted price,\u201d trader Skew said in one of his latest posts on X.<\/p>\n Skew noted that the price had held the 21-period exponential moving average (EMA) on four-hour timeframes and highlighted two key levels to start the week: $90,000 and $91,300.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019d be great to see an aggressive spike to $95k-96k over the coming week,\u201d fellow trader CrypNuevo said in a dedicated X thread over the weekend.<\/p>\n CrypNuevo suggested that large-volume traders may seek to liquidate newcomers closer to $100,000, resulting in more market flux before that significant psychological price barrier is reached.<\/p>\n \u201cMain liquidation lvl is up, but it\u2019d also make sense to spike up near $100k without fully reaching there, and then reverse down,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy? Because many new traders will come to the market for first time FOMOing with longs and spot buys. Easy preys.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n To the downside, $87,000 needs to hold if the market shows signs of consolidation, he added.<\/p>\n Others are looking to \u201cbuy the dip\u201d on BTC even in the event of a deeper retracement. For trader Crypto Chase, suitable entries come in the form of intraday \u201cgaps\u201d between daily candle wicks.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will EVENTUALLY pullback into a Daily gap. In bullish conditions, the first gap is the one to buy. Still have 30% of my long open from 85K~. Still looking to buy high 83 K\u2019s if offered,\u201d he told X followers.<\/p>\n \u201cThe lower gaps should remain unfilled until this market has reversed\/turned bearish.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n For Bitcoin bulls, there is no denying that last week was a historic triumph.<\/p>\n Not only did BTC\/USD seal its highest-ever weekly close for a second consecutive time at just under $90,000, but a major BTC price correction to test new support remained off the cards.<\/p>\n Data from monitoring resource CoinGlass puts Bitcoin\u2019s weekly gains at 11.8%, with Q4 returns passing 40%.<\/p>\n On a monthly basis, November 2024 remains fairly average in terms of BTC price performance over the past 10 years. Traders, however, say this can still change.<\/p>\n \u201cHistorically, this kicks off 300+ days of upside,\u201d trading account CryptoAmsterdam responded on X alongside a comparative chart of Bitcoin bull cycles.<\/p>\n Skew\u00a0forecasts\u00a0\u201ca bunch\u201d of new record weekly closes to come, with BTC\/USD already attempting to fill the wick, which led to its $93,500 all-time highs on Nov. 13.<\/p>\n \u201cBTC has only just begun its Parabolic Phase in the cycle,\u201d trader and analyst Rekt Capital said, referring to his own long-term BTC price analysis.<\/p>\n \u201cHistorically, this phase has lasted on average ~300 days. Bitcoin is only on Day 12 of its Parabolic Phase.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n A relatively cool week for US macroeconomic data belied a brewing divergence over future financial policy.<\/p>\n After recent data showed inflation accelerating in October, the Fed faces a recipe for \u201cstagflation\u201d \u2014 rising prices with rising unemployment.<\/p>\n This has led to mixed opinions over whether officials will lower interest rates in December, with the latest estimates from CME Group\u2019s FedWatch Tool seeing a 35% chance of a pause in rate cuts.<\/p>\n \u201cLower interest rates were the expectation for consumers as we head into 2025,\u201d trading resource The Kobeissi Letter commented over the weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, the Fed seems to be backtracking on the \u2018Fed pivot.\u2019 While more rate cuts are coming, inflation will remain elevated.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kobeissi noted that the coming week would see earnings from tech giant Nvidia \u2014 a potential volatility catalyst for risk assets in itself \u2014 along with speaking appearances from seven senior Fed figures.<\/p>\n Joining them is unemployment data on Nov. 21, followed a day later by Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) and consumer sentiment reports.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Fed\u2019s top priority has been to avoid a situation with both rising unemployment and rising inflation, as seen in the 1970s,\u201d Kobeissi added alongside a chart of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) versus unemployment.<\/p>\n \u201cHas the Fed failed yet again in avoiding stagflation?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This month, a tale of mass accumulation by Bitcoin whales and institutional investors is a key factor buoying the bull case.<\/p>\n As Cointelegraph reported, whales have not stopped to breathe as BTC\/USD charges through all-time highs and into price discovery.<\/p>\n Both large and small whale entities continue to add to their BTC exposure, data from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant confirmed.<\/p>\n When it comes to the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the trend is the same.<\/p>\n \u201cBitcoin spot ETF holdings have increased significantly since their launch in January, from 629.9K BTC to 1.0545M BTC, representing a growth of 425K BTC,\u201d CryptoQuant contributor MAC_D wrote in one of its Quicktake blog posts on Nov. 18.<\/p>\n \u201cThis corresponds to an increase from 3.15% to 5.33% of the total mined supply of 19.78M BTC, a 2.18% surge in just eight months.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n MAC_D suggested that the resulting impact on supply and demand dynamics should force price action higher.<\/p>\n \u201cThe dramatic price increases observed in March and November suggest a strong correlation between accumulation and price,\u201d the post added.<\/p>\n \u201cTherefore, as more Bitcoin is accumulated through spot ETFs, we can expect the price to continue its upward trend.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Data from sources, including UK-based investment firm\u00a0Farside Investors,\u00a0reveals volatile conditions for the spot ETFs, with large net inflows followed by conspicuous net outflows last week.<\/p>\n Total net outflows for the two days through Nov. 15 passed $750 million, after Bitcoin\u2019s spike to new all-time highs.<\/p>\n Crypto social media is \u201cvery reliably\u201d flagging the peak of each BTC price run, research says.<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong><\/em>Bitcoin breakout or black swan? $90K BTC price lacks gold, stocks high<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Analyzing social media volumes for specific terms such as prices, research firm Santiment said that \u201chype\u201d around the future hits highs alongside price itself.<\/p>\n \u201cBitcoin\u2019s incredible run has now topped out at a new all-time high price of $93,490,\u201d it said on Nov. 13.<\/p>\n \u201cThe hype across social media platforms is calling the tops very reliably, with the biggest signal came as $100K+ BTC price speculation poured in right at the ATH 4 hours ago.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Santiment added that signs of mass \u201cFOMO\u201d should be taken as a \u201ccaution flag,\u201d implying that market upside could reverse.<\/p>\n The latest readings from the Crypto Fear & Greed Index correspondingly show levels of \u201cextreme greed\u201d last seen in the run-up to Bitcoin\u2019s old long-term peak in March.<\/p>\n The Index hit 90\/100 on Nov. 17, just five points off classic market turnaround territory.<\/p>\n This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.
