Stone Ridge fund has disclosed its intention to establish the first ever Bitcoin mutual fund, in addition to other key corporate acquisitions such as Square and MicroStrategy.
These, nevertheless, did not succeed in bringing back the bullish sentiment, with the numero uno crypto trading at $47,047.65, down 7.5% from prior close.
Scott Melker, a popular crypto trader, tweeted as follows:
Michaël van de Poppe, prominent analyst at Cointelegraph, had earlier predicted final major support at about $38,000, in case Bitcoin did not record an increase in transaction volume at other major support levels.
Everyone wants 42k, so we probably just go up now or drop to 38k on a savage wick. Crowd rarely gets what it wants.

He tweeted:
#Bitcoin doesn’t look too great for a bull continuation coming period.
Still, retest at $54,000-55,000 could happen, but I’m cautious when we get there.
If we lose $47,000, then I’m looking at $42,000-44,000 and $37,000-38,500 next.
That should be the low.

“Coinbase premium,” the price difference on Binance and Coinbase platforms, turned negative multiple times briefly as Bitcoin declined to roughly $44,200. It seems whales are interested in buying at prevailing price levels, implying that a drop below $44,000 has little probability, as per CEO Ki Young Ju.
Notably, yesterday, Ki called the latest Coinbase Pro spike, which happened at $48,000, as “the strongest bullish signal” he had observed in Bitcoin.
