Trader Notes: Crypto trader Javon Marks noted that Bitcoin has consistently shown bullish signals across timeframes and recently macro; he believes the bulls never really left and are returning soon.

With Bitcoin prices pulling back, crypto trader Seth stated that Bitcoin should hold $84,000 and not close below.

Crypto trader George expects new highs before year-end and advises traders to prepare for two scenarios:

  • Bear Market Started – If true, the plan is to trade BTC up and down on margin while accumulating more spot BTC regardless of price.
  • Still in a Bull Market – If BTC returns to highs, increase margin longs (both BTC and alts) and begin scaling out of spot holdings starting in Q4.

Rekt Capital sees Bitcoin nearing the 21-week EMA (~$88,500), a critical level. In 2021, a breakout confirmation came from a weekly close above this EMA, followed by a successful retest. A similar move now could signal further upside.
