I must say that I agree with those who feel something is not right about these regular dips. I think the chances are 60/40 for a manipulative/normal trading. The first obvious thing is that the same pattern repeats for 8 hours around the same time each day for the last 2 weeks. Judging from the time, they are caused by some individual/entity living in the central parts of USA. It could be a single whale with 50K+ coins, or an OTC desk with multiple orders of selling between 55K and 60K. I can also see the ladder on the ask book on Coinbase for some time up to 70K. This is caused by one individual who also contributed for the 3K wall that existed up to 60K before the first breach. And probably have market sold thousands
BTC's around that price.
But what bothers me is that some individual hurried to sell just before the arriving of the stimi checks, as if being afraid the price may go up. And it looks that he is not happy that the price manages to stay above 53K and keeps putting pressure with small but timely sells just to make the hour candles red. Today he hurried up again after the good news from Tesla to stop the pump. I know that the things may only look that way and it could be just the high frequence trading effect. Still, there are a few people owning >50K
BTC's and also being quite hostile to Bitcoin. Today for example it became clear that Tesla will not accept the forks of Bitcoin. And this is a rusty pipe in the asses of two morons, whose names are like shit and not worthy to be mentioned here. One may ask what is the financial interest in these dumps? Honestly, I have no idea. Why some morons sold
BTC's in the past and bought forks that are no longer recognized and their price is next to 0? Why Willy Woo included in his charts twice false data of 30K
BTC's moved to Gemini, and other similar false news that he tweeted about? So, yeah, there are few more enemies who may hold the price for a day or two, but soon everything will return to normal and the mass adoption will lead to much higher prices in the next months. Meanwhile the exchanges reserve is continuing to decrease and other indicators show that hodlers sell much less than in the beginning of this bull run. So now the bears are in the pathetic position to try to break 53K just to be stopped at 52K
It is like the amateurs football team playing with professionals counting only the times they kicked the ball
