Bitcoin bulls still have a battle on their hands in low-volume weekend trading, analysis warns, while altcoins preserve multi-week record gains.
Bitcoin (BTC) focused on $21,000 into the weekend amid warnings that volatility could still consume the market before Monday.
Bitcoin was on track to log slights gains at its weekly close, the first weekly green candle — albeit small — since May.
Before then, however, anything could happens, according to on-chain analytics resource Material Indicators (MI).
Referencing recent weekend price action, MI recommended Twitter followers not to be complacent in the absence of weekday volume.
"If BTC can take out the 200 WMA there is room to run," part of one post read.
"Wknds have been wild so buckle up. A retest of the lows can come as fast as a rip to $24k."
An attached chart of order book data from largest global exchange Binance offered a glimpse into buy and sell plans from traders. Below spot price, there was little support in terms of volume until $19,000, while conversely, heavy resistance lay just north of $22,000.
"From an investment thesis (all things ceteris paribus), it's a great period to look for those altcoins that you want to have," he told Twitter followers.
"In 2021, everyone dreamed of buying those at those low price values. Now the chances are there and people don't dare to make the decision. Typical."
On the weekly basis, the altcoin market cap was up $37 billion over the week, set for its first green candle since March.
