The pseudonymous crypto trader who accurately predicted the Bitcoin collapse of 2019 says BTC is due for one more test before launching a mega bull rally.
In a new tweet, the analyst who is known in the industry as Dave the Wave says it is within the realm of possibility for Bitcoin to continue consolidating for the rest of the year.
“What if the major line of resistance first identified became a rough line of support for price to grind down slowly over the course of the fourth quarter to meet the log growth curve? This would set up perfectly for the run up going forward…”
Based on the crypto analyst’s chart, Bitcoin may continue hovering above the former resistance of the ascending triangle that ended the 2017 BTC bull run and kept the market bearish for over two years.
Dave’s chart also shows that the previous resistance and the logarithmic growth curve will touch base on December 31st, 2020.
According to Dave, the meeting of two support lines can ignite a bull market that catapults the Bitcoin price to $120,000.
Should Bitcoin follow Dave’s script, he says the consolidation should give investors a chance to accumulate BTC in the buy zone for several months before it launches a manic phase.

New Bitcoin-Stablecoin Metric Reveals ‘Intense’ Buy Pressure
A new Bitcoin (BTC) metric says that investors are still much more interested in buying than selling at $10,000.
In a tweet on Sep. 7, Ki Young Ju, founder of on-chain analytics resource CryptoQuant, unveiled his latest tool for tracking Bitcoin investor sentiment.
Dubbed “Potential BUY/ SELL Pressure,” the tool takes exchanges’ total BTC reserves and divides them by stablecoin reserves.
The resulting number provides a rough impression of trader appetite, and it is currently skewed to the bullish side.
“BTC still has intense buy pressure. Exchanges are holding more stablecoins and fewer BTC compared to the beginning of this year,” Ki tweeted.
“I think we still have room for BTC bullish trend.”
Ki added one proviso to the data — that exchange traders could use stablecoins to purchase cryptocurrencies other than BTC as well as hold Tether (USDT) to buy at lower prices later.
The environment on exchanges is decidedly in a state of flux with Bitcoin’s latest price action.
Tether, the largest stablecoin, has passed a total market cap of $14 billion, while other recent data also suggested that buyers were looking to use stablecoin assets to snap up BTC at lower prices.
That came in the form of Glassnode’s stablecoin supply ratio (SSR), which recorded a level three times stronger in late August than in June 2019, when BTC/USD traded at an identical price point — $11,400.

In a new tweet, Rager says he sold some of his positions on altcoins that he doesn’t want to hold for the next 12 months.
The trader says he feels secure in making long-term investments in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Chainlink (LINK), Zcash (Zec), and Polkadot (DOT).
Rager’s optimism in the top cryptocurrency comes as Bitcoin bulls stepped up and successfully defended key support of $10,000.

CME Group Introduces Small Bitcoin ‘Friday Futures’ to Engage Retail Market
The CME Group, one of the world’s leading derivatives marketplaces, has announced the launch of a new trading product aimed at making Bitcoin futures more accessible to retail investors. Named the “Small Bitcoin Friday Futures,” this new offering is set to be introduced on a weekly basis, every Friday. The contract is designed to appeal to smaller investors by providing a lower-cost entry point into the Bitcoin futures market, which has traditionally been dominated by institutional players.
The Small Bitcoin Friday Futures contracts will be based on one-tenth of a Bitcoin, compared to CME’s standard Bitcoin futures, which represent five Bitcoins per contract. This reduced size lowers the financial barrier for entry, making it possible for more investors to participate in the Bitcoin derivatives market without the need to commit large amounts of capital. The initiative aims to provide a more flexible and accessible way for traders to gain exposure to the volatility and potential upside of Bitcoin.
CME’s decision to launch these smaller contracts comes amid growing interest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from retail investors. The launch also aligns with CME’s strategy to expand its cryptocurrency offerings and cater to a broader range of market participants. Since launching its original Bitcoin futures in December 2017, CME has seen steady growth in trading volumes and open interest, reflecting the increasing demand for regulated Bitcoin futures contracts.
Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equity and FX Products at CME Group, commented on the launch, stating, “Our new Small Bitcoin Friday Futures contracts provide a more cost-effective and accessible way for individual investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements. By introducing these smaller contracts, we hope to meet the needs of retail investors looking for efficient risk management tools in the cryptocurrency space.”
The introduction of Small Bitcoin Friday Futures is also expected to provide additional liquidity to CME’s existing Bitcoin futures market. It will offer more flexibility for investors looking to hedge their positions or speculate on Bitcoin’s price changes within a shorter time frame. As interest in cryptocurrencies continues to grow, CME’s move to cater to smaller investors may further solidify its position as a leading player in the regulated crypto derivatives market.
