Trader Notes: Crypto trader TradeButWhy noted that despite the three weeks since dump, his confidence has increased:

More Crypto Online sees Bitcoin heading towards $61,500, where it will face the next crucial decision.

CrediBULL Crypto predicts a “big breakout/squeeze to $63,000.” He believes the move is driven by a pretty relentless spot bid on Coinbase andconcluded, “If we do top here soon I am still interested in longs at $55,000-$56,000. If we continue to push will be looking for short again somewhere above $64,000.”

Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin is on the verge of returning to re-accumulation range despite the recent downside deviation.
