Trader Notes

Altcoin Sherpa, a popular crypto trader, shared his analysis of Bitcoin's charts. While he remains bullish on the daily timeframe, he noted that the weekly chart tells "a different story," suggesting bearish medium-term sentiment.

Still bullish on the daily.

Weekly tells a different story.

Maybe a triple top on the 3W (not confirmed yet).

Not in a hurry here. BTC still looks good on lower timeframes (4H, 1H) and I'm adjusting my trades accordingly.https://t.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin

Smiley Capital expressed immense signs of strength for Bitcoin, predicting that $76,000 will hold as the bottom.

Massive signs of strength here for #BTC.

Still expecting 76k to hold the bottom.

Expecting a strong bounce from here.

Best entry is at the bottom. But sometimes it's better to miss an entry than to enter a bad trade.

Don't trade what you can't afford to lose.

Stay safe out there.
