Trader Notes: Crypto trader CrypNuevo is curious if the choppy price action persists until the FOMC meeting on Wednesday. He adds that whenever there is a big event like this, "markets tend to be choppy until the news come out. Big players step in with caution. Not an easy week."

Cryptoquant founder & CEO Ki Young Ju sees Bitcoin entering the U.S.

Crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa predicts Bitcoin's path to $100,000 is programmed, but with some bumps on the way. He suggests, "Don’t get shaken out and lose yourself along the way."

In a cautionary tweet, crypto trader Emperor advises that buying when prices are at a big resistance, expecting a breakout is interesting but stupid. He indicates that instead, it is at that level when the market turns excited. "So many people entered at $70,000 when the entry was at $63,500."
