Bitcoin: The Current Chart Looks Like A Final Stages Of Market Manipulation. Interest In BTC From Major Investors Is Growing.

LONDON. Dr. Dariusz Swierk, Editor in Chief of New City Trader, a magazine for professional traders, says that several factors indicate that we may be seeing the final phase of market manipulation on BTC. Strong rises are likely to follow soon.

"I am no analyst, but I have worked for many years with many prominent traders, some were real geniuses of the markets, and I have learned their tools.
The current situation is interesting in that many of the tools that the big traders are using are pointing to the same thing - the end of the declines and a market reversal."

Ten factors point to possible reversal in BTC:

The first five arguments are based on knowledge revealed several years ago by a trader who was a member of a syndicate that manipulated the stock prices in the US. The syndicate paid attention to the relation between the price and the volume, as well as to the news that accompany the drops.

The next four arguments are the behavior of indicators used by the largest institutional traders. Virtually all four point to the existence of a strong support zone at levels between 20,000 - 22,500.

The last argument is the strongly growing interest in BTC and crypto in general among the wealthiest group of investors (albeit little known) - Family Offices.
The charts are available at the link at the end of this note. Each argument is also discussed in more detail.

Below are the 10 arguments:

1. The behavior of volume in the decline in the period from March 28, 2022.
The decline in volume (relative to previous periods) indicates that the largest traders are not in this move. This volume behavior is typical of corrective movements.

2. Volume behavior over the last few days.
Starting around May 7, there was very high daily volume for several days. Usually such an increase means that the biggest traders have started buying.

3. Syndicate traders were paying attention to several volume formations ending moves.
Perhaps half of one of the major formations has already been drawn. High volume is already around May 7. Perhaps there will be lower volume lower around 22k - 20k. Such a formation will mark the possible end of the declines.

4. The biggest traders are used to buying on dips.
The biggest investors are used to buying on dips. They have so much cash at their disposal that they can stop a falling market when they think the price is right. Their presence is signalled by a high volume.

5. News about BTC is close to panic.
Bad or catastrophic news at the end of declines - is a factor of influence on the psyche of investors. The idea is to scare them out of the market so they sell what they own. Currently we have a concert of negative news about BTC and crypto in general.
Below, I will try to answer the question at what levels the market may reverse.

6. Strong support zone 1: commonly used by major institutional traders SMA 200 is just below.
Historically used as a primary tool for trend identification. It is currently running below the price at around 22,500. This is where we can expect a stronger reaction (such as we have seen before with that tool).

7. Elliott wave analysis indicates a correction is nearing completion.
According to another tool often used by the largest investors - Elliott Waves, we are near the end of the corrective decline. The typical range of the last arm of the correction ends around 22 500 -22 600.

8. Strong Support Zone 2: The Envelope
One of the interesting tools of the biggest traders and funds are envelopes. They allow you to very quickly assess whether the price has moved too far from the chosen average.
I tried to find where such a reaction could occur. I tried to choose both the average and the width of the envelope. The width is best chosen by studying the reactions to the envelope in the past.
The boundary of the envelope that has worked in the past is around 22,000.

9. Strong Support Zone 3: Strong support at 20 000.
This is probably traders' most familiar tool - support and resistance levels.
In the 20,000 zone we have two strong elements at the same time.
We have previous peaks (a typical support level) and the "four zeros" level - a typical place where many traders enter and exit the markets. Levels with "round numbers" (like 10, 20 30 thousand) are psychological levels for many traders.

10. The interest of the largest investors in BTC has grown strongly since last year.
One of the most important investor groups (perhaps even the most important from our point of view) is very interested in crypto investments. This group could bring potentially tens of additional billions of dollars to the markets.
Among the largest investors, we have three major groups. Banks, hedge funds and family offices. Family offices (the private investment funds of the wealthiest families) manage much more money than hedge funds (they have about 4.5 trillion dollars under management), while Family Offices have about 6 trillion.
Interest among the latter group of investors has increased significantly since last year.

According to the study:
(from Barrons: "Future Returns: Cryptocurrency's Future in Family Office Portfolios")
"In February, BNY Mellon, in conjunction with the Harris Poll, released its first-ever global family office survey findings. Some of the most interesting data suggest a previously unheard of level of interest in cryptocurrency investments.
Of 200 key global family office personnel surveyed, 77% said their firms were exploring or investing in cryptocurrencies, with one out of five describing themselves as active investors."

Summary:

We have 10 different arguments for a trend reversal on BTC in the 20,000 - 22,500 area.

Alternative viewpoint.

It is very often the case that the best analysis, based on the best indicators simply does not work. The analyst does not take into account one or more factors and the effect is completely different from expected. This can also be the case here.
To partially offset this effect, we use a fairly modern approach - we look at the market through the eyes of different groups of large investors. Each of these groups uses different tools.

When many different pictures come together - we have a better situation and better probability of the move. If several large players start buying BTC in roughly the same area then the probability of an upward move increases.
It is still a probability, not a certainty, which we never have.
