Trader Notes:
Daan Crypto Trades said Bitcoin rebounded strongly after a liquidity grab, but open interest remains elevated. He sees $79,000 as a key level that could trigger a short squeeze.
Benjamin Cowen noted Bitcoin pullbacks around golden crosses are normal.
The key signal is what follows, a higher high above the 50-week SMA could confirm the bear market is over, while rejection and a lower high could signal another Q4 low.
Trader exitpump expects Bitcoin to chop and slowly bleed until it reclaims $84,000, like 2023. They are targeting a long in the low-$77,000s and avoiding entries above $78,000.
