Trader Notes:

Michael van de Poppe compared Bitcoin to the 2022 breakout, with a strong weekly candle following consolidation and a sweep of the lows.

He expects a push toward $83,000 and the 50-week moving average, though resistance there could trigger a correction and profit-taking.

Trader KillaXBT said Bitcoin may have already bottomed, arguing the recent decline could have been the capitulation candle.

With Q4 sellers potentially front run after an early October peak, he expects Q4 buyers could also enter early, supporting a green next six-month candle.

Tony Edward highlighted Bitcoin is overbought with daily RSI above 70, raising the risk of a near-term pullback.

However, establishing support and securing a weekly close above the 200-day moving average could mark a major bullish shift and put bears under pressure.
