Crypto trader DonAlt highlighted that $60,000 is bad support and $70,000 is bad resistance. He suggested that if you are bullish then $65,000 is the spot to hold, adding "If you’re bearish you’d want it to fail first."

CrypNuevo highlighted a potential W pattern for Bitcoin,

$BTC update:

Wick filled, strong bounce, potential W pattern 🔨

My last requirement is to recover the daily 50EMA (closing a 1D candle above it).

At that point, it's when I'll have high conviction on retracing the imbalances to the upside.

Hope you find the updates helpful🤝 pic.twitter.com/W3iUHdevo7
