As the cryptocurrency market, led by Bitcoin ( BTC ), XRP, and Cardano ( ADA ) rebounded over the past 2 days through October 21, 2026, crypto trading expert Ali Martinez signaled potential short-term manipulation for their prices by large players. Martinez noted that the Bitcoin price rebound over the last 2 days has coincided with a sharp spike in on-chain activity, according to his X on Wednesday. Specifically, as BTC climbed from around $81,200 to a high of $83,407 on Tuesday, its exchange inflows surged from roughly 7,682 to 25,124 coins.
