Following a bout of unprecedented volatility seen earlier this week, Bitcoin has found itself caught in limbo, with its bulls and bears reaching an impasse as the crypto hovers within the lower-$5,000 region.
Analysts are now noting that this period of consolidation seen throughout the weekend is due to investors waiting to see how the U.S. stock market trends when it reopens tomorrow, with BTC likely kicking off its next short-term trend based on whether or not equities are able to extend the momentum they incurred on Friday.
This comes as one prominent cryptocurrency analyst notes that he believes Bitcoin will soon see another $2,000+ movement, although it is up in the air as to which direction this movement will be.

“BTC – just waiting for the Stock Market to open tomorrow 9:30AM EST USA … bitcoin following, not leading,” he noted.

Expect a Massive Near-Term Movement for BTC
DonAlt – another popular crypto analyst – explained in a recent tweet that he is neutral on BTC at the moment, and that he believes it could make a swift $2,000+ movement at any instant.
“BTC update: Re-hedged my spot, I’m flat again. Made almost 20% profit on the position, won’t complain. This could both pump $2000 or dump $2000 at this point and I’m not willing to wait in position to see which it’ll be. I’ll look for entries around the monthly close instead,” he explained.
