Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices touching $100,000, CryptoCon provided technical analysis for the crypto king stating that 5.618 extension of the first move of the cycle has had a near-perfect hit rate for all major Bitcoin highs.
He sees Bitcoin’s price target at $184,181.
Crypto content creator Michael Pizzino welcomes back $100,000 and expects a higher low, saying “Off to the races.” However, this will need a few days to form if it is to happen right now.
Stoic sees Bitcoin having experienced a clean breakout from its value area, followed by a reaction near the high $80,000 and a successful reclaim of the $90,000 level.
Currently, a brief period of cooling off is anticipated in the interim, with attention focused on finding spot support on the buyside.
A pullback into the high timeframe range would provide an ideal entry point for bulls to step in.
Currently, passive spot stacking has been observed between $100,000 and $104,000.
If another breakout occurs, the focus will be on spot aggressively chasing bids and absorbing any sell walls.
