Trader Notes: Crypto trader sentiment remains cautious despite Bitcoin’s recent bounce, with several prominent analysts highlighting key resistance levels and structural risks on the horizon.

Follis emphasized that the market structure still shows a lower high, a bearish signal, until proven otherwise. “Flipping $90,000 will trigger a rally, but until then, it's caution,” he warned.

Echoing that skepticism, trader Inmortal said plainly, "If there's no bounce here, we'll make new lows," pointing to a critical moment for Bitcoin's short-term path.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez urged caution on higher timeframes despite the bullish recovery. He flagged a death cross on Bitcoin's daily chart, a traditionally bearish signal, while the SuperTrend indicator still flashes a sell.

Martinez outlined several resistance levels that need to be cleared for the rally to gain real traction: monthly open at $82,500, a descending trendline from the all-time high near $84,000, the 50-day moving average at $85,800, and the 200-day moving average at $87,000. Until these levels are broken, upward momentum may remain capped.

Trader Miles Deutscher pointed to declining volume across Bitcoin and altcoins, attributing it to typical summer market compression.

"Low volume can feel stagnant, but it's where inefficiencies hide — and when volume returns, they reprice fast," he noted.
