$BTC Daily

Daily trend is still bearish and price is below range low. If you want to take risk for upside, wait for clean range low and daily ema21 reclaim. If you already over exposed, no need to add more risk here, wait for lower prices or trend reclaim. pic.twitter.com/LzNlOMnZoy

Stockmoney Lizards predicted that current market cycle could peak around $250,000 to $300,000. He added that this is "NOT a short-term chart. Next weeks might be sideways / down 10 – 15%." Post the CPI data, the trader reiterated the same outlook but added an end-of-year prediction of $100,000.

Another crypto trader noted that if Bitcoin wants to rally to $60,600 going into the weekend, it will need a daily close "above the black resistance to invalidate the early-stage lower high and set price up for that rally."

This is not conclusive but if Bitcoin wants to rally to $60600 (blue) going into the weekend…

Bitcoin will need to Daily Close above the black… https://t.co/tKhGemC8TN pic.twitter.com/DOsJ4TNa0W
