Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices trading relatively flat, crypto trader Jelle highlights that Bitcoin's 2023 price action follows a fractal pattern that may lead to a new local low.
While he's placing leveraged bids between $90,000 and $87,000 as a precaution, he remains indifferent on whether the fractal will fully develop.
In contrast, Michaёl van de Poppe maintains a bearish outlook in the short term, expecting further downside until a Trump-related event occurs, which he believes will trigger an upward reversal.
The $90,000 range is considered the optimal level for this movement.
Inverse Cramer expressed frustration, noting they had expected a Santa rally but instead saw a 10% sell-off in the crypto market.
CryptoCon views Bitcoin's recent small correction after reaching $100,000 as a potential buying opportunity for the next phase of the bull run. They reference the Mayer Multiple, suggesting no major shift in the cycle pattern.
With the cycle low in 2022 and the mid-top expected in March 2024, the trader believes this mirrors previous cycles in 2013, 2017, and 2020, which eventually led to new all-time highs.
Despite Bitcoin's recent ATHs, CryptoCon believes 2025 will be the year when long-awaited gains will be realized.
