3 Reasons why Minor Dips Could Be Healthy for Bitcoin’s Current Bull Run

Bitcoin (BTC) has recorded yet another YTD high around $16,500 before dropping to the $16,000 mark on Friday. Although the cryptocurrency has fallen close to 3% in the past 24 hours, investors are still very optimistic about the coming days and weeks.

The recent drop to the $16,000 mark is presumed to be beneficial for Bitcoin for three main reasons, as several on-chain data points, like stablecoin inflows, make a massive rally in the near-term very likely.

Firstly, Bitcoin’s recent drop has now confirmed the $16,000 level as a support level. Likewise, in the parabolic bull-run in 2017, when Bitcoin recorded its all-time high at $20,000, the benchmark cryptocurrency had a tough time establishing $16,000 as a support level due to how fast the rally occurred, and BTC was in uncharted territory.

Secondly, whales have been offloading their holdings over the past few days. Given the bearish pressure in the market at the moment, minor dips could be a healthy sign that BTC is keen on sustaining its bullish momentum.

Finally, the recent pullback would neutralize the derivatives market, including Bitcoin futures and options contracts, even further. Before the dip, the funding rate of the cryptocurrency was at the average rate of 0.01%. Following the drop, the rate could get neutralized even further, which would decongest the market.

Key BTC Levels to Watch in the Near-Term — November 13

Bitcoin continues to trade in line with our prevailing trendline. At press time, the cryptocurrency is trading at $16,270, and we expect to see additional dips from this level. For a start, we are likely to see BTC hit our trendline again, where we suspect a significant surge will occur. That said, a fall below the trendline could stall the bull run for a substantial amount of time.

Meanwhile, our key resistance levels are at $16,500, $17,000, and $17,500. While our key support levels are at $16,000, $15,700, and $15,200.
