We all saw the pump that happened late yesterday or early today, depending on your time zone.

From the 6500 region, BTC pumped all the way up to the 7.1k region on Binance(7.15k on Coinbase and 7.07k on BitStamp)

Before the pump however, I noticed a large amount of Bitcoin being moved around wallets all over the globe.

I was able to monitor this movement with WhaleAlert.io, a paid subscription plan. You don't have to pay for their subscription, although I did pay because of my needs.

Large amounts of Bitcoin, totalling 33000BTC was moved around about 2 hours to the pump. I knew something was up.

Then it happened. 

Before the pump however, most of the volume was coming from the United States through Coinbase and Bitfinex. Take a look at this chart I got. The chart is courtesy of @im__goomba on Twitter. He's a professional crypto trader, and you should follow him for insights.

The circled parts are where the volume started coming in for real.

As usual, Bitcoin first moved up a bit to clear out everyone's short stop losses, then proceeded to fall and let them take up long positions. Then it fell a little bit again clearing those stop losses for the longs, and then broke out in one giant green candle.

As I'm writing this, the volume on Coinbase trumps that of Bitfinex and Binance, as seen in this image.

The whales have taken their profits at the top, and are starting to clear stop losses again. We might see another big move to the upside in a few.

Now why do I feel that this pump was planned?

Simply because of how much Bitcoin moved in so little time. 33000BTC in the space of an hour? That's almost 300 million dollars!

And at once. Pretty planned to me.

What do you think? Was the pump planned?
