Trader Notes: Trader Dom noted that Bitcoin's order books on Binance are heavily skewed toward bids, the strongest imbalance seen in years.

He says a structural shift may be near, suggesting that any dip into the $50,000 range could be short-lived, followed by a push toward $75,000 or higher.

KillaXBT maintains that as long as BTC holds above $65,000, the path toward $71,000+ remains intact. However, he is eyeing potential short setups around $71,000, scaling into positions up to $75,000, targeting a move back below $60,000.

Crypto Tony highlighted that Bitcoin has now been range-bound for 28 days, with price compression building. He expects that when a breakout finally occurs, traders should be prepared for fake outs before the true directional move unfolds.
