Trader Notes:
Altcoin Sherpa predicts Bitcoin needs a strong break above $82,000 to open the door toward the $100,000 region.
Minor pullbacks could occur, but a breakout from its nearly month-long range is key.
KillaXBT plans to hedge 50% of his Bitcoin long exposure around $82,000-$84,000, with invalidation at $86,700. He remains heavily long but sees continued range-bound trading as the most likely near-term scenario.
Wick sees Bitcoin is attempting a Phase 2 continuation breakout but needs to reclaim stronger market structure to confirm further upside.
He emphasized managing risk amid heightened crypto volatility while turning daily setups into longer-term positions.
