Trader Notes:
Daan Crypto Trades predicts that Bitcoin needs to break and hold $80,000, with a new higher high above $83,000 likely to trigger stronger FOMO, leverage and targets around $98,000.
KillaXBT highlighted that the failure to hold below $57,000 and weeks of consolidation above $62,000 suggest the bearish case has weakened. He sees $82,000+ as the only area worth considering a hedge short.
Michaël van de Poppe noted that the longer Bitcoin holds current levels, the less likely it is to revisit its lows, putting those odds below 15%.
Another leg higher could take BTC to $90,000, followed by a $70,000 to $90,000 range for two to four months before a potential move toward all-time highs.
