נאָך hitting three-week lows the week prior, Bitcoin was a target for opportunistic whales, on-chain analytics resource Material Indicators explained.

Uploading a chart from the BTC/USD order book on Binance, Material Indicators captured resistance shifting higher, with the potential uptick in spot price offering a more advantageous selling level for large-volume players.

“FireCharts shows Crypto Weekend whales seem interested in trying to exploit the upside illiquidity in the Bitcoin order book to sell higher. Personally, I’m fine with that,” part of the accompanying comments read.

The week’s lows meanwhile saw moderate reactions from market participants, some of whom pushed back against calls for a mass capitulation event on short timeframes.

Popular trader Crypto Tony was similarly cool on current price action.

“I am short as per my updates while we reside below the main resistance zone below $22,400 – $22,600. Overall i could see another tap of the highs if we can hold above $20,300 overall,” he גערעדט.
