A closely followed crypto strategist and trader is unveiling what he believes is the catalyst behind Bitcoin’s latest pullback.
Pseudonymous analyst Credible told his 322,500 Twitter followers earlier this month while Bitcoin was still trading above $47,000 that a deep-pocketed investor has placed massive buy orders between $40,000 to $44,000.
“A large player has layered bids between $40,000 – $44,000, in line with the retest of our weekly level mentioned in my tweet below. Seems to be the same entity that filled a ton of bids at $32,000- $38,000, our literal bottom. If price can be manipulated into his bids below, it probably will be. BTC.”

According to Credible, the correction will allow the large entity to accumulate BTC at lower levels.
“With this last weekly close, we have reclaimed a very significant level. The last four times we closed above or below this level on the high timeframe, we have moved to the opposite end of the range over a number of weeks. Expecting the same this time – a retest of low $40,000s and continuation up. BTC.”

“And so it begins. The Bitfinex whale fills his plate with fresh bear steaks. The spikes in volume at the bottom of the chart indicate that the bids are not spoofs – they are being filled. BTC.”

“The weekly candle closes in two days, and we want to close inside/above the BLUE region shown here to maintain this as a bullish retest. Intra-week we can go lower – it’s the close that matters. Further confirmation on a low timeframe break in market structure and then a higher low.”

“It’s okay to be a [bear] just don’t be one here. BTC.”
