Trader Notes: While Bitcoin prices are trying to recover above the $57,000 mark, crypto trader Rekt Capital suggests that Bitcoin should avoid “turning ~$58300 into resistance over the coming days.”
He noted that the crypto king is only $150 away from a weekly close to reclaiming the black Channel Bottom as support.
CrediBULL Crypto calls this price reversal a “relief rally” and if and when his upside targets are met on Bitcoin, it will be time to “take profits on longs and position for potential downside.”
He concluded, “Relief before another leg down still makes the most sense to me at this time.” Voicing a similar opinion, More Crypto Online terms this a “corrective rally” as Bitcoin’s healthy wave is in place now.
The technical analyst added, “If we see a break of resistance and a 5-wave move to the upside, we might have to consider a more bullish interpretation.”
Another trader, Kaz The Shadow charts out his plan for the upcoming weeks where he expects to reclaim $64,000 to talk about longing again.
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.
