More Crypto Online sees Bitcoin prices rejected in the resistance zone and now likely to form one more or two more lows before heading for a "larger reversal attempt." He noted that the upcoming trend will be decided by nature and structure of the next rally.

Crypto trader Seth studied Bitcoin's retail sentiment which was in extreme fear in 2022 when price was at $16,000 and also at $54,000.

#Bitcoin retail sentiment was in extreme fear at 16K in 2022! Extreme fear again at 54K!
It was the bottom back then and it should be the bottom now! $BTC to 100K+ in Q4 2024!
