Trader Notes: Renowned analyst Byzantine General believes Bitcoin may be setting up a major bear trap, currently testing diagonal resistance.
He highlights that Friday's price action will be pivotal, a breakout could confirm the trap, while a rejection might reinforce bearish sentiment.
Crypto Caesar observed that Bitcoin has bounced cleanly from a previously marked support level, a positive sign, but warns that volatility is far from over as uncertainty lingers.
Meanwhile, Rekt Capital sees the current retest holding, which he considers a short-term bullish signal, though he urges traders to wait for confirmation before acting decisively.
Daan Crypto Trades projects a ranging market in the coming weeks, following Bitcoin's strong start to the month. With BTC hovering near the mid-range and monthly open at $104,600, he outlines two key scenarios:
- Breakout above range highs → signals continuation of the uptrend, with new all-time highs on the table.
- Drop below ~$100,000 (Thursday's low) → confirms breakdown and likely extends weakness for another 1–2 weeks.
His base case is more sideways action, and he emphasizes caution to avoid getting caught in fakeouts.
