Trader Notes:

Trader Jelle highlighted that Bitcoin is approaching the critical $83,000 region, where heavy resistance remains. A sustained break above that level would flip market structure back to bullish.

CryptosBatman sees Bitcoin is caught between a liquidity wall above $80,000 and strong bids around $77,000 to $78,000. The next move could depend on which liquidity zone gets swept first.

Trader exitpump explained that a tactical Bitcoin short near $80,000 could make sense as price retests a key VWAP for the first time since the downtrend began.

However, he expects any downside to remain above $70,000, arguing the bottom is already in and pullbacks should be aggressively bought.
