Trader Notes: Trader Altcoin Sherpa expects short-term Bitcoin bounces in the coming days but cautions against assuming a full recovery. He noted Bitcoin can rally 20%–30% and still roll over, as seen in August 2024 and March 2025, adding that a strong bounce alone does not confirm a trend reversal.

Crypto analyst Kevin said Bitcoin is seeing a sharp counter-trend snapback from a higher-timeframe “golden pocket,” likely fuelled by late short liquidations. He added that rallies within broader downtrends can be aggressive and last days or even weeks, creating favourable volatility for short-term traders. The key resistance ahead sits in the $70,000–$75,000 range.

Trader KillaXBT highlighted that Bitcoin rebounded strongly from the $60,000 lows, an area that previously served as the base of a six-month accumulation zone and held multiple times. He said the critical test now lies between $70,000 and $76,000, a former support-resistance zone that would signal re-acceptance into the prior range if reclaimed.
