The wallet’s sudden activity underscores the dramatic appreciation Bitcoin has seen since its early days.
The move comes as legendary trader Peter Brandt suggests that BTC may be on the cusp of a big move.
“A bear trap immediately followed by a springboard. This is not something to be taken casually. This can be powerful.”
Meanwhile, crypto trader Ali Martinez warns that Bitcoin is flashing a bearish signal on the short-term timeframe.
“TIME TO BOOK PROFITS?
The TD Sequential has been remarkably accurate on Bitcoin’s BTC four-hour chart. Its recent buy signal helped anticipate the 8.5% rebound we’ve seen over the past few days.
Now, the indicator has flipped and flashed a sell signal.
That suggests short-term momentum may be getting stretched, and I’m watching closely for signs that it’s time to lock in some profits.”
At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $80,346.
