Whale Traders Picking Up Steam, While Retail Fears Bull Trap... Ideal Setup!?

πŸ“Š Crypto markets typically follow the path of key whale & shark stakeholders, and move the opposite direction of small retail wallets. In our chart below:


πŸŸ₯ Whales dumping, Retail accumulating (VERY BEARISH)

🟧 Whales dumping, Retail unpredictable (BEARISH)

🟨 Whales & Retail particularly unpredictable or moving sideways (NEUTRAL)

🟦 Whales accumulating, Retail unpredictable (BULLISH)

🟩 Whales accumulating, Retail dumping (VERY BULLISH)


🐳 Since December 17th, whales & sharks holding 10-10K Bitcoin have collectively accumulated 56,227 more $BTC. This marked crypto's local bottom. And even though markets stayed relatively flat, the bullish divergence from their accumulation was bound to produce at least a minor breakout.


🦐 Over the past 24 hours, things have gotten even better due to the fact that retail traders (wallets with <0.01 $BTC) are now taking profit with the expectation that we are in a bull trap/fool's rally.


🧐 Entering into a green zone now, we have a higher probability than usual to continue to see market cap growth throughout crypto. Remember that nothing is a guarantee, though, and whales may change their minds and take profit on a dime. As the chart below shows, some zones last weeks, while others may only be a couple of days.


πŸ”– Monitor the top assets' bag movements by watching the green lines (representing key whale & shark holdings) and red lines (representing small shrimp holdings) here, and see what others in cryptocurrency can't!
