On February 20, <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> experienced a sudden surge in volatility at the Wall Street open, leading to a “fakeout” that affected traders.
The BTC price briefly exceeded $53,000 before quickly falling again.

This rapid decline resulted in BTC/USD losing all of its gains from the day in less than two hours, reaching a low of $51,400.
However, a slight recovery has since taken place, with the focus now on $51,700.
Bitcoin futures open interest, a well-known catalyst for volatility, remained over $22.5 billion, after reaching its highest levels in 26 months earlier this week, according to CoinGlass data.
Following the unsuccessful attempt to break the $53,000 mark, well-known trader Jelle advised his followers to take a broader view.
He suggested that while short-term charts may not look promising, it’s important to stick to long-term plans.
Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm MNTrading, echoed this sentiment, stating that the overall trend for Bitcoin remains positive.
He also mentioned the recent inflows to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which reopened for business on February 20 following a public holiday in the United States.
Despite these inflows, Van de Poppe cautioned that they would not push Bitcoin’s price to $100K within two months and warned of short-lived, sharp corrections given the current market sentiment.
According to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index, the mood among crypto traders is currently characterized by “greed”.
In a positive development, a historically accurate bull market indicator, the Williams%R Oscillator, is signaling potential for more BTC price growth.
Caleb Franzen, senior market analyst at Cubic Analysts, noted that the oscillator is demonstrating a pattern similar to that seen before Bitcoin first exceeded $20,000 in late 2020.
Franzen previously used this oscillator to predict the end of the 2022 bear market.
