Trader Notes: Crypto trader Ted Pillows highlighted that Bitcoin's 4-hour RSI has reached its most overbought level since July, suggesting that a short-term correction or sideways action is likely.
CryptoUB observed rejection at range highs, noting that the next key support sits at $117,400, with a pullback to $114,600 still considered within a normal trading range. During such periods, altcoins could see heightened activity.
Skew reported Bitcoin briefly touched $120,000, but holding above this level will require sustained U.S. buying pressure, as today's move was largely led by Binance spot demand.
Trader XO explained Bitcoin is trading into the Value Area High around $119,000, coinciding with the $120,000 five-week composite high acting as local resistance. A pullback to the $114,000–$115,000 range that holds could present a favorable long opportunity.
