Trader Notes: Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto says Bitcoin's current pump has pushed price into range highs and local supply, a zone he typically sees as a fade opportunity (ideal for shorting).
He expects a potential move back down toward range lows and higher timeframe (HTF) demand at $69,000–$74,000, unless the market first breaks those range lows.
The setup matches a previously discussed scenario: liquidity was swept below, but Monday's lows remain untouched, keeping the bullish structure intact — for now.
The trader adds that many altcoins have also rallied into local supply, meaning this outlook may apply across the broader crypto market.
IncomeSharks pointed out the irony that some of the largest weekly green candles happened just when sentiment was at its worst.
Blockchainedbb shared her exit plan, stating she will offload buys made between $75K–$78K at $108K–$110K, expecting this to happen between May and September.
She notes that historically, markets often peak around six months after a U.S. election, followed by a bear cycle.
