Binance futures giant sucks in spent BTC

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD staying under $20,000 for a fourth straight day with bulls failing to crack resistance.

As many wondered when and how the latest consolidation phase would end, two popular social media traders noticed an ongoing accumulation trend by an unknown large-scale Binance futures trading entity.

“Bounce incoming,” Il Capo of Crypto predicted in part of an update on the phenomenon, describing the entity’s long BTC position as “massive” and “easily” worth 30,000 BTC or more.

“There is quite an interest at 19,650$ at Binance futures,” fellow trading account JACKIS continued.

“We are seeing the positions filled, the price goes, up, then a new wave of selling comes in, hit the new orders again and repeat. Looks like someone accumulating hard.”

Order book data from Binance uploaded to Twitter by on-chain monitoring resource Material Indicators meanwhile showed resistance building overhead into Sep. 6.
