Trader Notes: As Bitcoin slipped below the $95,000 mark, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez warns that a dip below $92,730 could lead to “essentially free-fall territory.”
Meanwhile, Cold Blooded Shiller highlights that Bitcoin is nearing a critical juncture, risking the loss of its green wave momentum since breaking out of the $60,000 consolidation phase.
Daan Crypto Trades describes Bitcoin as being in a choppy, range-bound state, noting little significant price movement over the past week.
He highlights the range high at $99,500 and the range low at $92,000 as key levels to watch, suggesting that trading within this range may not be worthwhile.
Chart analyst Jesse Olson observed that Bitcoin failed to deliver the anticipated Santa rally but did manage a Santa bounce, forming a lower high.
He cautions that a daily candle close below approximately $94,850 would confirm a bearish shift, urging traders to monitor today's close for further direction
