Trader Notes: As Bitcoin prices retreated below the $58,000 mark, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez stated that Bitcoin broke support. He predicts, "It looks like $55,000 is next." In an earlier tweet, Martinez had forecasted that a break below $58,100 support will lead to a drop towards $55,000.

On the other hand, CrypNuevo said that the drop was fast and "no fake pump to $61,500 needed." He instead predicts a straight nuke to $57,000 target. He concluded that the things are moving fast, as probabilities for a 50 basis points rate cut on Wednesday are increasing.

SlumDOGE Millionaire reacted on the market fall stating that "Bloody Red Mondays are a real thing."

Technical analyst EtherNasyonal thinks short-term obstacles are good for the medium term.
