Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices opening the week higher, crypto trader Jelle highlighted that BTC has broken and retested the local downtrend. He now wonders if it’s time for another test of $100,000.
Meanwhile, Rekt Capital reiterated that Bitcoin's bull market is expected to peak in 2025, marking the start of a new bear cycle.
He predicts the majority of the bear market will play out in 2026, lasting over 365 days with a potential drawdown of -65% to -80%.
Crypto trader CJ disclosed that BTC has entered a position around $95,000, with a key focus on holding $96,300 in case of a pullback during the NY session. He emphasized: “$100,000 is the main pivotal level – can’t get too excited while we are below.”
Bloomberg ETF reporter Eric Balchunas has stated his altcoin ETF approval odds, with Litecoin LTC/USD leading at a 90% chance, followed by Dogecoin, Solana and XRP.
