Trader Notes: Altcoin Sherpa in his latest tweet noted three different Bitcoin scenarios: a dump to $63,000 and $60,000 will return the pump while a dump to $60,000 with some bounces will lead to "die." However, he is hopeful of breaking the current level and reaching $70,000.
Crypto trader Rekt Capital highlighted Bitcoin's current support and retest levels, predicting a similar retest to confirm a break back into the $65,000-$71,500 region.
Crypto trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio noted that Bitcoin above $60,000 will keep the bull market intact, but the situation could turn ugly if it drops below that level.
