Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices breaking the $100,000 mark, crypto trader Jelle sees a potential drop back to $97,000 from here. He added that this could be for scaring traders and then a "real breakout."

Jelle is expecting a "true breakout before Christmas — 2025 is going to be a crazy ride."

Crypto trader Javon Marks sees Bitcoin trading well above the $67,559 level, indicating a bullish setup.

The next target is $116,652, representing a potential 15% move higher. A breakout above this level could pave the way for further gains, with more than $165,000 as the subsequent target.

Crypto trader Nic predicts an "explosive BTC price action" as the 20-day Bollinger band bandwidth is at its lowest level in months. He advises, "Keep an eye out for an upside breakout above the upper band."
