Corrections had already been expected, a necessary part of Bitcoin’s steady upwards grind, which Cointelegraph Markets analyst filbfilb, believes will see $63,000 hit in the short term. $52,000, he said earlier on Wednesday, may also produce temporary consolidation.

“‘Why are you scaling out?’ Well, markets are going up heavily, but we’ll be seeing some downwards momentum as well. Nothing goes up in a straight line,” he wrote. “Realizing partial profits is fine. I’m still keeping big bunches in play, but I can accumulate some more. Easy game.” BTC/USD 1-minute candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingView
