Notable Developments:

Trader Notes: Crypto Tony said Bitcoin is testing a critical short-term level near $68,400. As long as bulls defend that support, the near-term outlook remains constructive. A breakdown, however, could quickly shift momentum back to the downside.

Trader Lennaert Snyder noted that Bitcoin broke above the $68,410 swing high, likely triggering a broader upside squeeze as stop-loss orders were cleared above that level.

The previously watched $64,500 DOL (daily open low) was front run, and price may continue sweeping buy-side liquidity into the weekend.

With the primary move played out, Snyder suggested stepping aside and waiting for new setups next week.

Trader Nebraskangooner highlighted Bitcoin’s tendency to follow repeatable multi-year cycle structures, noting similarities between the 2022 bear market bottom and prior 2019 and 2015 cycles.

He flagged $74,800 as a pivotal level. A close below that threshold, if historical patterns continue to hold, could signal a structural shift, turning lower zones into key long-term accumulation areas.
