Bitcoin price finally made a move, and fireworks are sure to follow

New crypto market trends are starting to emerge now that Bitcoin and equities markets move closer to make-or-break levels, which will determine the markets’ direction.

This week, Bitcoin (BTC) raised investors’ hopes and then left them high and dry again.

Traders placed a majority of their attention on BTC price pushing through a long-term descending trendline resistance, but according to Cointelegraph analyst Ray Salmond, “BTC price simply ‘consolidated’ its way through the trendline by trading in a sideways manner where price has been range bound between $18,500 and $24,500 for the past 114 days.”

At the time of writing, BTC’s price continues to battle at $20,000, and it’s uncertain whether or not the level will hold as support.

Whalemap told Cointelegraph, “So far, the resistance at $20,380 — that is due to a whale accumulation of ~20,200 BTC — has been working quite well, with the latest rejection being almost to the dollar accurate.”

Whalemap elaborated:

“Our support remains unchanged since the drop from $30,000. It lies at $19,174 and was formed all the way back on June 18, 2022, by a staggering accumulation of ~101,300 BTC by whale wallets. T
