Cryptocurrency trader Michaël van de Poppe noted the lack of movement in Bitcoin price with the volume “going crazy” during the weekend. He ascribed the heightened volume to a “whales game.”

The downwards movement of Bitcoin all the way to the $33,900 level is what Santiment likes to see in terms of capitulation. The market intelligence platform said that trader sentiment has fallen to six-week lows.
“Weak hands leaving the space is generally what is needed for a truly notable bounce,” tweeted Santiment.
