Trader Notes: Crypto trader Jelle predicts Bitcoin to see some minor red today/tomorrow before a "push higher."

#Bitcoin spent the weekend chopping around $64,000 – closing every day in the green.

Would be good to see some minor red today/tomorrow into $62.7 – and then to resume this push higher.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez marks $63,500 as a support level for a bounce back to higher levels. If it breaks, a drop to $62,800 could be on the horizon.

#Bitcoin seems to be trading within a parallel channel on the lower time frames. If the $63,500 support holds, $BTC could bounce back to $64,200 or even $64,800. However, if it breaks, a drop to $62,800 might be on the horizon! pic.twitter.com/4hROkZxQNp — Ali (@ali_charts) August 26, 2024 Crypto trader Kevin spotlights Bitcoin’s current RSI at 53, with price at $63,500. He compared it to when Bitcoin was at $63,500 on March 18, with the weekly RSI at 87.

He stated, "Learn what relative strength means. It's all very simple. Sit back and wait don't listen to the engagement farmers posting every 4 minutes."

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.
