Bitcoin (BTC) sought to overturn August resistance on Sep. 10 as whale buy-levels dictated BTC price action.
Whales provide short-term price ceiling
ຂໍ້ມູນຈາກ Cointelegraph Markets Pro ແລະ TradingView showed BTC/USD hitting new multi-week highs of $21,671 on Bitstamp.
The pair capitalized on a ບີບສັ້ນ which began early on Sep. 9, taking it around 10% higher after plumbing the ລະດັບຕໍ່າສຸດ since the end of June.
ການວິເຄາະ the events, on-chain monitoring resource Whalemap noted that clusters of buy-ins by whales had effectively allowed Bitcoin to put in a floor.
$19,000 had been a high-volume zone of interest for buyers previously, and this thus remained unviolated during the visit to two-month lows.
ໃນຖານະເປັນ Cointelegraph ລາຍງານ, two other key whale support zones lie at $16,000 and $13,000.
“Whale support at 19k worked almost perfectly to the upside,” the Whalemap team commented.
“$21,543 is now the closest resistance according to whales.”
An accompanying chart showed the significance of the mid-$21,000 corridor in which BTC/USD was acting on the day. In addition to being of interest to whales, the zone functioned as support in mid-August before flipping to resistance.

“I’d like to see the high getting swept and then a consolidation. What happens in between? Probably we’ll see altcoins firing off heavily.”
After this impressive move, it would be quite logical (does that ever apply to bripto?) to cool off here
