Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices around the $60,000 mark, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez marked $60,365 as the key Bitcoin level to watch. A break below this would take Bitcoin to $57,420. If this level holds, the crypto king will rebound to $63,300, according to the analyst.

CryptoCon tweeted that the Bitcoin bull market starts in two months, according to their analysis.

Santiment data pointed out that with Bitcoin dropping 9.2% since its $66,400 local high on Sep. 27, public sentiment towards crypto has cooled considerably.
