Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices relatively flat, crypto trader Seth highlighted that Bitcoin is currently at a key resistance level.
He believes breaking this level could trigger a major pump, remarking that "BTC will salute its new President."
More Crypto Online noted Bitcoin remains in a sideways range despite today's slight upward move.
Patience is critical until the breakout direction becomes clear.
Crypto trader BitQuant dismissed claims that Bitcoin has already topped or will peak below $166,000, arguing that such predictions underestimate BTC's potential.
He warned that skeptics risk missing out on substantial gains, even if corrections occur along the way.
Another trader remains bullish, anticipating new all-time highs soon.
While consolidation above $98,000 may continue, Scient emphasized that holding $99,000 on the 1D chart signals no bearish trends.
He wonders why the crypto timeline is calling for a top in this environment.
