Crypto Industry News:
It appears that major players, including institutions, have taken advantage of the decline in bitcoin's price to buy significant amounts of digital currency.
According to Material Indicators, an analytical company that studies on-chain data, Binance had the platform's largest-ever, massive buy orders worth over $ 100,000. Considering the fact that Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, this indicator clearly indicates whale activity.
It is surprising that such mass purchases by major market players are more common than ever - which is directly different from the size of smaller orders. While whale activity has increased for bitcoin purchases, smaller investor activity seems to be slowing down.
This is most likely due to the high price of bitcoin at the moment. Smaller retail investors are afraid to buy high, assuming the cryptocurrency price could collapse suddenly.
Material Indicators suggest that whales may sell in the face of a cryptocurrency raid, repeating a pattern of price increases and a quick correction. However, it does not seem to have happened yet - if it does - there may be other factors involved. For example, the volume of whale orders slowed after the announcement that a US $ 1.9 trillion stimulus package had passed through the Senate.
Technical Market Outlook:
The BTC/USD pair has made another higher high located at the level of $57,833. The next target for bulls is seen at the level of 127% Fibonacci extension of the last wave up seen at $58,275. The momentum remains positive, but it points down already, so any violation of the level of $52,039 might be the trigger to do lower towards $49,422. The larger time frame trend remains up and there is no indication of the up trend termination of reversal yet.
Weekly Pivot Points:

Trading Recommendations:
The bulls are still in control of the Bitcoin market, so the up trend continues and the next long term target for Bitcoin is seen at the level of $60,000. Any correction or local pull-back should be used to open the buy orders. This scenario is valid as long as the level of $41,125 is clearly broken.
