Tether (USDT) captures 54% of today’s BTC trades while the U.S. dollar commands around 15.1%. This is followed by BUSD (5.42%), JPY (4.79%), KRW (3.61%), EUR (3.43%), and USDC (2.02%). The creator of the stock-to-flow (S2F) bitcoin model, Plan B, retweeted an old tweet on Friday that he shared on June 20, which predicted similar price movements for June, July, and then the rise in August.

It was the same tweet Bitcoin.com News reported on the following day which showcased Plan B’s worst-case scenario prediction of $135K for December.

David Russell, VP of market intelligence at Tradestation Group has a less optimistic outlook than Plan B. “Bitcoin has surged more than 50% from its July 20 low, but now the rally may see a pause,” Russell told Bitcoin.com News on Friday. Russell added:

The recent peak near $47,000 almost exactly matches the low from April 25. It’s also near the same level below which sellers got aggressive May 16-18. This is the most significant resistance area Bitcoin has yet faced in the current rebound.

Meanwhile, as BTC has managed to hold above the $47K handle, the leading crypto asset faces heavy resistance ahead at the psychological $50K zone.
