Trader Notes: As Bitcoin surged past the $100,000 mark, crypto trader Doug Funnie predicts an explosive rally ahead and wonders, "Can we get there before the weekend?"

Rekt Capital highlights that Bitcoin continues to hold its 4-week technical uptrend line as a key support level. He explains that a deeper correction would require a breakdown below this trend line, but for now, the "technical uptrend remains intact."

According to IntoTheBlock data, 482,000 addresses have purchased Bitcoin within the range of the current price and $100,000.

However, the key demand zone lies between $94,800 and $97,700, where over 1.3 million addresses have accumulated Bitcoin. The firm notes that "this range represents a critical area for potential support."

Daan Crypto Trades forecasts a slow, choppy climb for Bitcoin, with traders likely to face volatility before a genuine breakout occurs.
