Top Losers:
Trader Notes: Bitcoin investor Ted Pillows highlights a bullish falling wedge on BTC's chart, though he warns of a potential dip to $74,000 before any rebound. He believes a weekly close above $89,000 would confirm a bullish breakout.
Altcoin Sherpa notes that Bitcoin compression at current levels could lead to either massive gains or steep losses. Historically, a big BTC move in either direction tends to drag altcoins up or down by 20%, making the upcoming price action “interesting.”
Roman Trading warns that Bitcoin is undergoing a bearish breakdown and retest. He reiterates that recent price action has been bearish, not bullish, and targets $70,000 as a key level for a potential long position.
More Crypto Online describes Bitcoin’s price action as “still quiet”, noting that a clear bottom won't be in place unless BTC reclaims $85,640. He expects further downside over the weekend, potentially forming a wave 4 drift lower.
