Trader Notes: CrediBULL Crypto noted that Bitcoin faced two rejections at local supply and now looks set to move lower toward the higher timeframe (HTF) demand zone between $108,000–$118,000, where a potential bottom may form.
Crypto trader Ken highlighted that the market remains choppy with no clear direction. Bulls need to defend the $120,000–$121,000 lows to enable a move back toward $124,000. Until a breakout occurs, scalping the range extremes is the most practical strategy.
Crypto Bully explained that during Bitcoin's strong monthly open uptrend, buying the first test of the monthly VWAP (middle line) is the easiest dip-buy opportunity. The $121,000 → $124,000 range was the initial play.
After multiple tests, focus shifts to a potential sweep and reclaim of the lower band, with $118,000 needing to hold for the uptrend to remain intact.
