The latest uptick in Bitcoin’s price has stirred up the crypto sphere, with traders amplifying their bullish predictions as BTC confronts potential dips. As reported, if the price rejection is robust enough to push BTC’s value below approximately $29,250, we might be looking at the onset of a bearish trend. 
Trader Jelle underscored the bullish undercurrents of this move. “If we consider the dip below $28,000 as the higher low, Bitcoin is still following a bullish trajectory,” he analyzed. Jelle, after observing the one-day timeframe, emphasized the positive signs from the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator. 
“Just another tick on our checklist of bullish omens,” he added, drawing parallels to a similar movement we witnessed at the close of July.

 That indeed was the higher low, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">#Bitcoin</a> continues to maintain a bullish market structure. 
 Needs to break $32,000 from here, let’s see if this bounce has any legs.

Michaël van de Poppe, the brain behind trading firm Eight, alluded to the pivotal role of the $29,700 mark. “Bitcoin’s true festivity commences once we cross the $29,700 threshold,” he conveyed. He further suggested that Bitcoin was on the verge of breaching this crucial level. 
However, Rekt Capital, another revered analyst, approached Bitcoin’s recent performance with a touch of circumspection. He acknowledged the positive stride beyond the ~$29,250 point but also highlighted the potential for volatility. 
<blockquote> 
 “We have previously observed spikes beyond this level, touching the ~$29,900-$30,100 resistance zone. If Bitcoin dips but sustains above the ~$29,250 as support, we’re possibly looking at a bullish evolution.” 
</blockquote> 
Alongside the price rise, there has been a reawakening of <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/long-dormant-bitcoin-whales-resurface-and-transfer-millions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin whales</a> who had been inactive for some time. Whale Alert has reported that three whales, holding an aggregate of 8,199 BTC worth $225 million, have resumed activity. 
Analysts, including the well-regarded trader Skew, observed marked buying from several Bitcoin whale categories. 
Skew’s scrutiny wasn’t just limited to the direct price action. He drew attention to the ongoing tussle between the bullish and bearish sentiments in the derivatives markets. Adding another layer to the analysis, Skew pointed out that some whales seemed to be selling BTC, speculating that late longs might be inadvertently “following the herd.” 
<blockquote> 
 “In scenarios like this, liquidity is paramount for whales, either when they’re looking to exit or adjust their positions. Often, these adjustments coincide with market fluctuations,” he mentioned in a recent analytical report.
