“Unusual whale activity” flagged
Daten vum Cointelegraph Mäert Pro an TradingView followed the largest cryptocurrency as it hit $21,868 on Bitstamp.
Just hours from the weekly close, a reversal then set in under $21,500, Bitcoin still in line to seal its first “green” weekly candle since May.

Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe eyed the need to crack $21,600 definitively in order to secure the chances of further upside. Additionally, last week’s closing price of $21,100 on CME Group’s Bitcoin futures could provide a short-term target.
“Standard weekend fake-outs happening and probably ending at CME close at $21.1K for Bitcoin,” he prognostizéiert op den Dag.
“No clear breakout above $21.6K at this point, yet.”
The monthly close was still on course to cement Bitcoin’s worst June on record with monthly losses of almost 33%.
Along with May 2021, this would also be the worst-performing month since before the 2018 bear market bottom, data from on-chain monitoring resource Coinglass bestätegt.
