Trader Notes:

Trader Dom noted Bitcoin is holding the $80,000 area well after its nearly 30% rally, with strong spot buying absorbing heavy selling.

He remains neutral to slightly bullish as long as $76,000 holds but sees little trading edge inside the current range.

Trader Jelle predicts that if Bitcoin’s recent low proves to be the cycle bottom, this bear market would be both shorter and shallower than previous cycles.

This raises questions about whether the next bull market could also behave differently.

Bitcoin may be undergoing vertical accumulation, with higher highs and higher lows forming beneath resistance as buyers absorb supply, exitpump said. A strong breakout through resistance could trigger continuation into price discovery.
