It often helps analysts and traders predict large selloffs in advance, or other market movements made by large players known as whales or “market makers.” Other times, it’s used to identify when the Tether treasury has printed more of the Tether stablecoin cryptocurrency that’s backed by fiat reserves and other collateral, which often precedes massive movements in Bitcoin price. Millions and millions worth in USD value of Tether have been printed since the bear market bottom, and each new printing appears to drive up Bitcoin price further and further.

Bitcoin Price to Boom or Bust From Here? In the days ahead, Bitcoin will either continue its bull run after a more than 30% correction, or fall back to retest support lower. Either way, the crypto asset is expected to rebound and continue higher, but it’s a matter of when and what path it takes first. This latest addition of Tether could signal that the leading crypto by market cap will soon breach the $14,000 resistance it was rejected from, and continue its parabolic climb into a new bull market.
