Top Losers:
Trader Notes: Despite Bitcoin prices dropping, crypto trader Jelle sees Bitcoin having broken out from a 7-month long channel / flag structure. He concluded, “The second leg of the bull cycle is underway.”
Rekt Capital stated that Bitcoin is approaching a crucial retest of the Channel Top, a resistance level it has failed to break through in several previous attempts over the past few months.
A successful retest is needed for BTC to continue moving higher, but if it fails again, the price could struggle to rise.
Michaёl van de Poppe explained Bitcoin is still consolidating implying some weakness for the markets. The crypto king is only a few weeks away from elections and a potential renewed rate cut from the Federal Reserve. He concludes, “The ATH for Bitcoin is close.”
