Analyst Notes: Crypto analyst Michael Van de Poppe suggests that Bitcoin may experience a bullish breakout but cautions against a retest of the lows. This comes as Deutsche Bank also enters the Bitcoin market. Recent activity, according to van de Poppe indicates a sweep at $25,000, and it is crucial for Bitcoin to hold up at higher levels.
Specifically, it should maintain levels between $25,600-25,900, as there are likely to be significant stop orders triggering before any substantial movements occur.

Crypto Tony shared that BTC is currently reclaiming the $26,600 level, which indicates a positive trend. However, he suggests waiting for the daily close before considering a long position, as it would confirm the sustainability of the upward movement. If BTC manages to maintain its position above this level, Tony predicts a target of $27,500 for this upward price surge.
Pseudonymous analyst Cantering Clark, shares his optimistic outlook on the crypto market’s potential for a positive end to the year.
Furthermore, Clark predicts that a short squeeze is probable after the recent Bitcoin market correction, speculating a retest of the $25,117 level.
"I feel like the chances that the market smokes this level after the first major test is slim. Seems like the best area to trap sellers, and arguably the best place for long contextual R:R (risk/reward ratio). I'll catch a falling knife."
