Trader Notes: Stockmoney Lizards sees the current dip as a normal correction in a bull market and cautions traders not to be misled. He expects BTC to break $108,000 within weeks or months.

CrediBULL Crypto notes Bitcoin is ranging between support and resistance, while forming a higher timeframe bottom, with price action remaining choppy as it awaits a breakout.

Crypto trader Roman highlights that BTC’s 4-hour chart aligns with his plan to see $70,000 tested as weekly support before any short-term upside.

He warns a drop below $80,000 could lead to a swift decline and believes the market is waiting on the FOMC for direction.  

Crypto Raven points to a gap between Bitcoin’s price and Global M2 growth, historically a correlated metric. He sees this as a sign BTC is due for a catch-up rally toward at least $100,000, stating, “The bull market is far from over.”
