Bitcoin Almost Hits $80,000: Divisive Surge Stirs Mixed Reactions

Bitcoin's recent price surge has sparked a debate among market watchers, as BTC/USD nears the $80,000 mark during weekend trading. On November 10, data from market analysts highlighted a startling rise, with Bitcoin gaining nearly $2,000 in a single hour.

This pattern appears consistent with recent weekend trends, where bulls exploit thin liquidity to push the market higher. Some remain skeptical, though, as Bitcoin's price showed a nearly 3% increase on a typical low-activity Sunday.

Popular commentator WhalePanda cautioned followers on X, saying such weekend fluctuations often see a full retracement. Material Indicators co-founder Keith Allen stressed the necessity of "some pullbacks" during Bitcoin's price ascents. He remarked that weekends often witness "whale games" and emphasized focusing on Bitcoin's weekly and monthly closes during this price discovery phase.

Bitcoin currently boasts nearly a 15% weekly increase. Cointelegraph noted $71,500 as a pivotal watermark for bulls aiming for a "parabolic" surge next. Trader Skew shed light on how large-volume traders supposedly manipulate price action. They employ "spoof" ask liquidity to bring the market lower, filling bids at an artificially depressed local low. This tactic, he explained, is followed by algorithmically created price momentum, leading to price hikes. New passive bids are expected to support the price, with $80,000 as an apparent target.

A risk of a price dip below $50,000 remains a concern. Credible Crypto, another notable trader and analyst, voiced worries about a potential market reversal. He reiterated his prediction of a substantial BTC price correction, forecasting a drop below $50,000. He believes we may be nearing a peak on most altcoins and Bitcoin, suggesting a significant downturn is imminent.
