Trader Notes:

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez noted Bitcoin has flashed a bullish SuperTrend buy signal, a technical indicator that previously preceded a 16% rally from $57,700 to $68,900 after its last trigger on July 3.

Trader Crypto Bitlord believes Bitcoin is on the verge of a sharp upside breakout, pointing to an early move above key 4-hour resistance. He argues that the market is overdue for a large bullish “god candle” after an extended period without a strong vertical rally.

Swing and chart trader Jesse Olson maintains that Bitcoin remains in a bear market but believes the cycle is approaching a turning point.

Based on the model, October could mark the bottom, followed by a 45-month bull run that ultimately drives Bitcoin above $180,000.
