However, the trader did add in his tweet that the opposite is true for the spot market which is currently seeing overwhelming buy pressure.

The Wolf suggested that BTC’s price may rise soon as a result of the sell pressure in the perpetual markets and the buy support in the spot markets. Should this bullish thesis play out, BTC’s price could rise to $30k soon.
A few hours after The Wolf’s BTC tweet, the crypto trader Crypto Rover tweeted that a bearish head and shoulders chart pattern has formed on BTC’s 12-hour chart. Should the bearish chart pattern be validated, then BTC’s price will drop in the coming 24 – 48 hours.

On the other hand, there is a chance that history will repeat itself and BTC’s price will be squeezed once again to rise to $30k in the next couple of days. Should BTC’s price be squeezed, it may only postpone the inevitable downward move for BTC’s price forecasted by the head and shoulders pattern highlighted by Crypto Rover.
