Insights from Traders:

With Bitcoin seeing upward momentum, experts suggest that this increase in demand could be driving the price higher. CryptoQuant’s Head of Research has observed signs of expanded demand.

The price action for Bitcoin has reached the initial target of a bullish pattern at $96,046, according to reports from More Crypto Online.

Crypto trader known as Astronomer Zero shared insights on social media, emphasizing the strategy: "Buy the fear, sell the greed, rinse and repeat." This approach reflects a cyclical method employed by traders to maximize profits.

Reflecting on market sentiment, Astronomer noted, "Everyone wanted lower, so we longed for higher. Here it is, the price push right into our asks. As promised, we placed our bids and anticipated a local range to form, leading to this upward movement. Furthermore, consider the cyclical nature: buy the fear, sell the greed, and rinse and repeat."

Looking Ahead:

  • Will Bitcoin’s past experiences, such as the 2020 ‘Thanksgiving Massacre,’ repeat, or could this holiday season mark a turning point for new highs?
