Trader Notes: Crypto trader CJ noted Bitcoin is at a key level, currently trading above equal highs. If there’s another upward spike followed by rejection, it could be a deviation, potentially leading the price back down to the range or the previous week's low. However, if price breaks cleanly higher, the $114,000–$115,500 zone may act as new support before further upside.
MaxBecauseBTC observed Bitcoin as constructive, but there are some warnings –
- Caution: The price is retesting the underside of the 30-day rVWAP and a major supply zone (high-volume node).
- Bullish signs: A drop below $114,000 triggered liquidations and long exits, followed by a quick reclaim of the monthly open, showing resilience.
- Key level: A move above $118,000 (supply node) could open the door to new highs rapidly.
Crypto Bully highlighted that Bitcoin is in a wait-and-watch phase, forming a new range. There is strong resistance at around $116,500, which could result in a bearish retest. Dips toward $111,000–$112,000 may offer good long entries if order flow supports it. He also added that he is currently considering only long setups on BTC; potential altcoin shorts may be explored if Bitcoin shows weakness later.
Glassnode data shows that the spent volume by Bitcoin's short-term holders in profit has dropped to 45%, below the neutral threshold. This indicates a balanced market, modest profit-taking, but no strong directional conviction from short-term investors. The market sentiment remains cautious and indecisive.
