Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices hovering around $62,000 mark, Daan Crypto Trades sees this as another effort of breaking the $62,400 level. He added, “the longer it consolidates below here, the more likely a break higher will be.”
However, he does not expect much from Bitcoin, as it is almost weekend and the U.S. markets remain closed.
Crypto trader Jelle predicts that a chop around these prices for the weekend will lead to a push higher in the next week. He added, “Summer lull seasonality over, Q4 bull seasonality is in.” In another tweet, Jelle noted locking in a new higher low before the weekend.
CEO and Founder of Cryptoverse Benjamin Cowen pointed out that in April his prediction was a consolidation for 6-9 months after reaching its “mid-cycle top.” Six months have now passed, meeting the minimum time for consolidation.
He warns that if there’s a labor market scare this quarter, Bitcoin could drop further, potentially to the 100-week SMA. This could extend the consolidation to nine months like the previous cycle. He advises to hedge for both outcomes.
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.
