Trader Notes:

Crypto Patel highlighted Bitcoin’s reclaim of $81,000 puts $83,000 in focus. A strong higher-time frame close above that level could invalidate the bearish lower-high, lower-low structure.

He remains cautious until then, with a break below $60,000 signaling renewed downside risk.

Kevin sees Bitcointwo to three days away from potentially confirming a daily Golden Cross. He added that every such crossover following a bear trend lasting more than 300 days has historically confirmed a cycle bottom.
