Trader Notes: Bitcoin Therapist outlined two key scenarios for Bitcoin:
- Gradual Climb: Bitcoin slowly trends higher with small pullbacks, ultimately reaching $180,000–$200,000.
- Violent Repricing: A sudden breakout as 18 months of paper BTC accumulation resolves, sending prices soaring to $350,000–$400,000.
Roman, however, urged caution.
He noted that while Bitcoin often consolidates before continuing upward, current weekly timeframe signals tell a different story. A pullback as the more likely near-term outcome, bearish divergences and overly bullish sentiment
Kevin echoed that caution, emphasizing this is a pivotal macro week with the FOMC and key economic data on deck.
He warned that Total2, the altcoin market cap, is at significant resistance and Bitcoin is pressing against the $120,000–$123,000 resistance while remaining below the weekly RSI downtrend.
Crypto Lord added that Bitcoin's tight consolidation just beneath all-time high after a powerful impulse suggests the top may be close. He advises traders to stay sharp, as upside could be limited before a possible reversal or major correction.
