Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices trading relatively flat, More Crypto Online notes that Bitcoin is holding micro support, but a solid low isn’t confirmed unless it breaks above $85,474.

If that happens, the next target is $87,204—until then, any bounce is just noise.

Another trader, JJcycles, believes Bitcoin is ready for a squeeze.

Altcoin Sherpa expects BTC to break $84,000 but sees $89,000 as a tougher challenge.

Extended consolidation strengthens confidence that this is the bottom.

Rekt Capital compares the current Bitcoin consolidation to June 2021.

Notably, Bitcoin broke out from a similar pattern in July 2021, hitting new all-time highs in November 2021.
