Trader Notes: Crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe noted that the markets are at the "close to the end of this mini-correction."
Rekt Capital sees Bitcoin is in the process of retesting the $65,000 level in a volatile manner. He concluded that to make Bitcoin's retest successful, Bitcoin will have to see a daily close above $65,000 and keep the price in the $65,000-$71,500 region.
Crypto trader Emperor stated he is not interested in bidding altcoins until Bitcoin is showing strength. However, he concluded that any strength without a strong a catalyst will most probably be a "lag."
