Trader Notes provided valuable insights. Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez emphasized the importance of a surge in daily active addresses, transaction volume, and whale activity to confirm the continuation of Bitcoin's upward trend. Crypto trader Wolf predicted that a breakout above $100,000 would likely trigger retail FOMO, potentially leading to a 20% to 25% correction soon after. He pointed out that a similar structure was seen just a few months ago and is typical in crypto markets.
Meanwhile, trader Satoshi Stacker observed that in eight out of the past ten months, Bitcoin has bottomed early in the month before rallying. He suggested that if this pattern holds, any dip this week could present a prime buying opportunity. Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe highlighted a significant bounce at the start of the week, predicting "another test of $98,000." He added that Bitcoin could soon achieve a new all-time high and break the $100,000 barrier.
There we go again. A great bounce at the start of the week, with another test of $98K and it seems likely that we’re going to see a new all-time high and $100K for #Bitcoin.
