Key Points:

  • Bitcoin sees a fresh increase in front of Wall Street, and sees $117,000.

  • Sub-price liquidity will be thicker and lead to concerns that prices could still be “deleted.”

  • Gold continued to hit its all-time highs, and Bitcoin finally tried to follow its trajectory.

Bitcoin Bulls avoid liquidity tragedy

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirmed a new local high of $116,593 on BitStamp.

After rising 5.2% in September and closing 6.3% in the third quarter, BTC/USD next attracted the highest ever new forecast.

“The next major resistance is around $117,500. Once BTC gets it back, we’ll gather towards a new ATH,” Crypto analyst and entrepreneur Ted Pillows wrote in part of his latest X analysis.

Pillows focus on key areas of liquidity in exchange order books, meaning these can be as easily forced downward as they drive prices high.

“A large, long-lived building just below current prices. This is fuel. Prices are often drawn into these zones. A lot of retail leverage is about to be flushed,” he told X-followers.

As Cointelegraph continues to report, purchase order liquidity often results in a “fake out” in either direction of Bitcoin.

Coinglass data shows that at the time of writing a 24-hour cryptographic settlement totaled $400 million.

Bitcoin traders have long requested that the BTC/USD pair replicate gold performance. As reported by Cointelegraph, this week we have one estimate called the eight-week delay to begin that imitation movement.

Popular trader HTL-NL uploaded a gold-priceeded Bitcoin chart in an attempt to break through major long-term resistance.

Meanwhile, Andre Dragosch, European research director at Crypto Asset Manager, sparked a blaze at Gold’s rally.

“Think of FWIW-Larry as long in the teeth now,” part of the X-Post claimed that Dragosh “is thinking of too many herds and groups for money now.”

“It could be the beginning of the risk of rallying and rotation into Bitcoin,” he concluded.
