Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices changing course to green after a highly volatile day, crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa acknowledged the tough market conditions but expressing relief it’s Friday.
He predicts a "weekend altcoin season" to begin tomorrow.
Altcoin Sherpa believes Bitcoin is in a bounce zone, with high volatility suggesting potential for modest short-term gains. He advises scalping for most trades.
Additionally, he sees Bitcoin as having momentarily bottomed, while altcoins are expected to continue their slight rebounds.
According to Glassnode data, new investors now hold 49.6% of Bitcoin’s liquidity, indicating that seasoned investors have sold during the uptrend, with strong demand from new buyers absorbing the sell pressure.
