Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices dropping below $63,000, crypto trader Cold Blooded Shiller noted that test zones are coming up for Bitcoin. He said that the response is important whether the demand is bounced or swept.
Rekt Capital sees falling Bitcoin dominance (currently at 57.68%) entirely in line with the historical tendencies around these levels. He compared the situation to five years ago in mid-April 2019.
The trader posits that dominance is now dipping for a retest of this level into new support to confirm a breakout across the macro range.
Bitcoin is the same price range as it has been moving in since March, according to More Crypto Online, saying, “Should the price indeed move higher towards $67,000, then the trend line could offer additional resistance.”
Steve Courtney thinks Bitcoin's RSI has broken out of its downtrend.
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.
