Bitcoin Losses $60,000 As Whale Buys 1,062 BTC In One Swipe On Binance

Bitcoin is down, retracing from $60,000. All the same, the uptrend remains and the coin might confirm gains of September 13

Bitcoin Daily Chart for September 16

Bitcoin pushed higher on Friday, breaking above $60,000. The race was a statement for buyers and a signal that the trend could be shifting in their favor. Technically, the uptrend is now valid and will remain as long as prices stay above the $58,000 and $60,000 support zone. The leg-up is mostly fundamentally driven. Specifically, the community expects the United States Federal Reserve to ease this week, lifting sentiment. With lower rates, there could be more influx to value-preserving assets, which would benefit Bitcoin and other alternatives.

As it is, Bitcoin is stable at spot rates but has lost $60,000. Crucially, there is a pick-up in momentum and trading volume, pointing to investor interest. Overall, the world’s most valuable coin is in green over the last week, adding nearly 8%. Meanwhile, the average trading volume is up, recording $24 billion over the previous day. Though lower, it could begin rising if there is confirmation of recent gains.

Bitcoin Daily Chart for September 16

Traders are closely watching the following Bitcoin trending news:

  • Bitcoin found support at the 50-week moving average, recovering strongly. As the coin strengthens, the next leg up could see prices spike above $92,000 in a buy trend continuation formation.
  • Over the weekend, as prices consolidated, a whale bought 1,062 BTC via Binance. The wholesale purchase is a mark of confidence and could help further drive demand in the coming days.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

BTC/USD is bullish at spot rates, even with the retracement.

Despite the cool-off, BTC is still above $58,000.

Since the leg up on September 13 is with expanding volume, there is a high probability of trend continuation. It is especially now that prices are still within its trade range.

Accordingly, traders can consider longing dips above the support zone, angling at $66,000.

Any unexpected flash crash below $56,500, unwinding September 13 gains, invalidates this bullish outlook.
