Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices dropping, crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa noted that Bitcoin is reversing its way back to recent lows.

If those levels hold, it’s a bullish signal, making the next dip a good buying opportunity.

The pattern is recurring sharp drop, V-shaped recovery, then a slow grind back down.

Trader Ansem believes Bitcoin still has a target of $1 million. Jelle compared the pullback to similar ones in the past that resulted in eventual uptrends.

Industry expert Quinten Francois sees the current market sentiment similar to that at $30,000. He believes a correction to $80,000 is possible.
