Analyst Notes

According to crypto analyst Michael Van de Poppe, Bitcoin is currently at a crucial level that needs to be maintained.

The markets are experiencing a correction following the super hawkish FOMC meeting and dotplot.

There is an expectation of a relief bounce from the US open, and the fate of Bitcoin ultimately hinges on it holding above $26,500.

“Bitcoin back in the chop. I think we’ll continue to do so, so the funding game continues to be played out too.”

Crypto Tony said, “So my plan was to long while we remained above $26,800 and thus far that is what we are doing.”
