Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices dropping for the third consecutive day of the week, CryptoQuant Founder and CEO Ki Young Ju noted that Bitcoin will stay in a bull cycle as long as capital flows in.

Another crypto trader, Rekt Capital, highlighted that Bitcoin has dropped to the lower end of its $91,000-$101,165 range.

To prevent further decline and extend the current corrective phase, it needs to maintain support at the $91,000 range low.

Daan Crypto Trades expects a slow start for Bitcoin, with a proper move possibly taking until the end of January.

He is watching a triangle/pennant pattern to identify a potential breakout from the current consolidation.

While the outlook for Q1 remains generally positive, the beginning of the year is often choppy.

Referring to last year’s price action, the trader notes that after topping in early January 2024, Bitcoin bottomed by the 23rd and surged in February and March, indicating how quickly sentiment and price can shift.
