Trader Notes: Crypto trader IncomeSharks noted that Bitcoin and the supertrend are holding on.
Crypto Scient noted that Bitcoin's monthly close is very bullish and thus any early month drop should be purchased quickly to see a green August. He looks to bid BTC between $60,500 – $59,500 with a stop-loss below $58,700.
Another crypto trader suggests that if the price is holding above $60,000, dips are for buying. He added that the short-term pullback in BTC resembles the last instance when the ribbons turned green.
CryptoCon stated that Bitcoin is down marginally, but people should focus on the "end game…it’s nothing to worry about." He says, "Hold hope, March 2024 triggered the final weekly bearish KST cross before the cycle top run."
Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez, in his latest post, analyzed the $2.50 billion in leveraged long positions that got liquidated as BTC dipped below $63,000.
What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
