Bearish Triggers That Knocked Down Bitcoin Price This Week
First of all, it is important to note that a few days ago, the country of China reiterated its position against cryptocurrencies. This event occurred on November 17, and it is possible that it negatively affected the price of the cryptocurrency. However, this was not of great interest to the whales, as purchases continued to extend to today’s date.
Even when the all-time high was recorded at $69K, we can say that sales continued to be low; despite the departure of those 1,500 BTC. Furthermore, according to HODL Waves, the taking of profits by holders who bought in the last 12 months and after the 2017 ATH has not been executed.

There is tension in the market right now. Since the correction returned the BTC price to critical support, if it loses it, there may be a new wave of sales up to $50K; this is the main fear of some analysts, like John Wick, for example.
However, the technical scenario on the daily timeframe is not entirely negative, but traders expect the bulls to defend the aforementioned support; in the $56K. This is in line with the upper range of the ENV channels, and quite close to the 100 period EMA. Therefore, in case of taking positions on the upside, it may be ideal to monitor this level.
In addition to this, the RSI is below 50 points; exactly at 38. Which shows the high wave of sales generated, but at the same time, represents an opportunity to invest at lower prices.
It’s time to buy in the fall and the whales know it
While Bitcoin falls back, multiple whales and holders have taken the opportunity to invest millions in amounts again. Some of the most relevant being the following:
According to blockchain data, these purchases have been made by the wallets that accumulate the most BTC tokens. While the third wallet that owns the most BTC bought 207 bitcoins, the others added 484, 700, 1,123 and 1,647 BTC. And what are you waiting for to buy in the fall?
