Bitget Token [BGB] spikes 16% past $5 – But one RISK remains!

Key Takeaways

So, BGB surged a mind-blowing 16%, outpacing its peers. But

The price of Bitget Token (BGB) shot past $5, thanks to a glorious 16% surge on September 2nd. This daily gain outpaced the weekly return of a meager 5%. If only all our investments were this kind to us, eh?

So, what fueled this rapid ascent? A delightful cocktail of fundamentals mixed with a touch of hype-because what’s crypto without a little drama?

First off, Bitget launched Chainlink’s (LINK) Proof of Reserve, making traders think “Hey, transparency-maybe I can trust this exchange-backed asset!” And, as if that wasn’t enough, token burns have been gobbling up the supply, keeping the price looking stable, for now.

Can BGB price reclaim $5?

On the charts, BGB briefly hit $5.44 before deciding to take a breather. The hourly chart displayed a pristine gap between $4.81 and $5.13, smashing through resistance and setting up a shiny new support level at $5. Not bad for a token with a wild personality.

If BGB keeps its foot on the gas, bulls might aim for $5.82, and maybe-just maybe-a trip to $6. What a wild ride that would be, right?

And don’t even get me started on technicals: The MACD is acting all bullish after the sellers ruled the roost since August 27th. Plus, the RSI hopped up to 67, only to take a brief dip before heading back up. It’s like a crypto rollercoaster-and everyone loves a good thrill!

But hold your horses. If BGB can’t hold above $5, it could slip back into consolidation mode. Ah, the dreaded range-bound action. We’ve seen this before after August 13th. You know the drill.

Holder distribution raises red flags

Now for the juicy part. According to CoinMarketCap, BGB had 20,530 holders as of September 2nd. However, almost 72% of the supply was chilling in just 10 wallets. The largest wallet alone is hoarding 22%. If that doesn’t scream “potential price manipulation,” what does?

Typically, healthy tokens have holders with a mere 2-3% of the total supply. But BGB? It’s got whales with the kind of holdings that make you raise an eyebrow. If these whales decide to make a move, things could get…interesting.

But hey, if the whales decide to sit on their hoards like some kind of crypto dragons, the scarcity might just keep fueling the rally. Who knows? It’s a world of possibilities out here.

Longs dominate Derivatives bets

Meanwhile, over in the land of derivatives, CoinGlass is showing that leveraged longs (yes, those risky 25x and 50x bets) are clustered between $4.44 and $5.20. So, traders are *all-in* on the upside, despite the inherent risk. What could possibly go wrong?

The cumulative Long Liquidation leverage stood at a whopping $38.77 million-over 6 times higher than shorts, which were only a measly $6.85 million. It’s like the longs are throwing a party and the shorts weren’t invited.

This all points to more potential upside pressure. But-and this is a big but-those whales still have the power to stir the pot. With token ownership so skewed, sudden volatility could be just around the corner. Buckle up, folks. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!
