Trader Notes:

Trader KillaXBT said Bitcoin’s broader bear-market structure still leaves room for a move below $60,000, although the $50,000–$60,000 region now stands out as a strong long-term accumulation zone after previously targeting $37,000 near the $112,000 top.

CrediBULL Crypto sees Bitcoin is now approaching its first downside target after recent price action showed early weakness, with traders closely watching whether BTC can stabilize at support before selling pressure accelerates further.

Trader Tim explained Bitcoin has already lost Monday’s low and is now testing a key higher-time-frame support region. The analyst noted that markets are watching whether the April high and broader structural support can hold into the daily close.

He warned that a confirmed breakdown below the structural “red line” would likely invalidate the current bullish setup and shift focus toward short opportunities on lower time frames, particularly the 4-hour and 1-hour charts.
