Trader Notes: Michaёl van de Poppe noted in his latest tweet that Bitcoin is witnessing its final weeks of pain, as BTC valuations are "slowly grinding upwards already." He predicts that from September onwards is the best period of the cycle for Bitcoin and crypto.
More Crypto Online tweeted that Bitcoin will likely touch $56,280 after it invalidated "its 1-2 pattern in the C-wave to the upside." After the price drops below $56,280, the next support level is at $54,600, which is not strong support.
The post stated, "If $54,600 breaks, I anticipate a move down to the mid $40,000 region." However, he also adds $51,900 as one more support level.
The tweet also noted the price movements in the past few days have moved up and down in chaotic ways without being able to successfully break out to the upside.
Another crypto trader CrypNuevo sees some liquidity present below the current lows of this Bitcoin low-timeframe range as shown in the liquidations heatmap. He predicts to clear out this liquidity by "Monday max."
