Trader Notes: CrediBULL Crypto believes Bitcoin may have bottomed at range lows, potentially forming a triple tap base. He's opened a long position, his first in weeks, expecting a bounce from the current green support zone. If this level breaks, the downside target is $94,000–$98,000, though he views both outcomes as technically healthy corrections.

Rekt Capital highlights Bitcoin's continued defence of the $104,400 level, now holding for six straight weeks. All eyes are on the weekly close; a seventh consecutive hold would confirm this zone as a solid accumulation base and strengthen the case for near-term upside.

Michael van de Poppe notes that Bitcoin faced rejection at a key resistance, triggering a broader market correction. A liquidity sweep may be underway, creating the conditions for potential buy-the-dip setups. He advises patience and careful monitoring of support levels.

Crucial level for #Bitcoin did reject and we see the correction.
I suppose we'll see more downside and a liquidity sweep taking place in the markets.
