Trader Notes: Crypto trader Jelle pointed out that Bitcoin has just confirmed a 3-day bullish MACD cross — a technical pattern that has historically preceded strong upward moves.
Based on prior occurrences, Jelle expects Bitcoin to rally toward the $130,000–$150,000 range.
Crypto Chase emphasized the importance of Bitcoin holding its current support zone (dubbed "the box") to preserve local bullish momentum.
He noted he's still holding half of a long position entered at $111,000, after taking profits at $119,700. Chase isn't planning further trades until a clear setup emerges.
Daan Crypto Trades added a macro perspective: while Bitcoin has delivered modest returns in June and July, the months of August and September tend to be choppy and illiquid.
August has historically posted only +1.75% average gains, with frequent sharp drops during this period.
However, these corrections often set the stage for October — Bitcoin's strongest month.
He also noted that late-summer boredom or Bitcoin stagnation can lead to sector-specific rallies (e.g., meme coins, AI tokens) as traders rotate into more volatile plays.
