Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices around the $60,000 mark, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez marked $60,365 as the key Bitcoin level to watch. A break below this would take Bitcoin to $57,420. If this level holds, the crypto king will rebound to $63,300, according to the analyst.

CryptoCon tweeted that the Bitcoin bull market starts in two months, according to their analysis.

Santiment data pointed out that with Bitcoin dropping 9.2% since its $66,400 local high on Sep. 27, public sentiment towards crypto has cooled considerably. The analytics firm thinks this mood change is “encouraging, considering markets typically always move the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectation.”

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
