Trader Notes: Bitcoin trader Cole sees Bitcoin forming a potential rising wedge, often a bearish pattern. With an uptick in long positions and light weekend liquidity, he warns of a possible pullback toward the daily open or support near $95,000–$95,500.
Titan of Crypto points to the SuperGuppy indicator, which just flipped bullish on the weekly chart, signaling a momentum shift back in favor of the bulls and potentially confirming the start of a longer-term uptrend.
Adding to the bullish narrative, Ted Pillows compares Bitcoin's structure to gold's previous rally pattern – accumulation, breakout, highs, then re-accumulation. He sees BTC currently beginning its next leg up, projecting a new high by Q2 2025 based on that historic rhythm.
On-chain data from Glassnode strengthens the bull case:
- Long-term holders have accumulated over 254,000 BTC now aged past 155 days.
- Many of these coins were bought above $95,000, and spending remains low, a sign of confidence and reduced desire to sell.
- Additionally, BTC holders with 30+ day coins are now back in profit, easing potential sell pressure from short-term holders.
Together, these signals point to early-stage bullish momentum, but with weekend volatility and leveraged longs building, traders remain cautious.
