Trader Notes:
Roman Trading noted that Bitcoin needs to turn prior resistance into support to confirm the bullish structure.
A weekly close above $82,500 would strengthen the case, while a strong bounce in the coming days could offer an earlier signal. Failure to hold above the breakout area could trigger a sharper reversal.
Trader Jelle predicts flipping the 50-week/100-week EMA cluster into support would be a major longer-term bullish signal. Historically, that has suggested the bear market is over, though it does not necessarily mean Bitcoin moves straight higher immediately.
Ardi highlighted that Bitcoin must reclaim $85,000 to resume its advance. He expects continued liquidity hunting around $81,000-$83,000, with $81,500 and the prior range breakout key to hold.
A successful retest could set up another push higher, failure could send BTC back into the $70,000s.
