Trader Notes: With Bitcoin trading below the $95,000 mark, crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa humorously advised followers to "unsee this" in response to the price dip.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez compared the current bullish cycle to those of 2020 and 2017, predicting that if historical patterns hold, the first significant correction (ranging from 15% to 30%) might not occur until Bitcoin reaches $135,000 to $159,000.

Rekt Capital highlighted that past Bitcoin cycles typically experienced major corrections six to seven weeks into price discovery: The 2013 cycle saw six weeks of upside before a correction in week seven, while seven weeks of gains followed by a 34% retrace in week eight in the 2017 cycle. Lastly, there were six weeks of rallying before a 16% pullback in the 2020/2021 cycle.

Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin is currently in week four, suggesting further upward momentum may occur before a significant correction, based on historical trends.

Meanwhile, The Cryptomist suggested targeting long positions around $82,000–$84,000 if Bitcoin loses its current trend.
