On Crypto Banter’s channel, analyst Kyledoops recently talked about Bitcoin’s crucial position below $60,000 and the importance of the $58,000 to $60,000 range. He warned viewers about a possible trap in the market and shared tips to avoid it. He noticed a bit of relief in the market, with many top coins bouncing back on hourly and daily charts. Altcoins were doing better than Bitcoin, with some even making big gains.

“Where are we within the cycle? We’ve spoken a lot about the diminishing volume which tends to happen in a corrective phase. Now, I give a slight edge to the Bulls just to give you full disclosure over there. I am very, very, very cautiously on a fine line on thin ice bullish, right? But that ice is cracking and we’re about to fall through,” he said.

However, the bullish edge was hanging by a thread, with the potential for a major bear trap if Bitcoin closes above $60,000. The Analyst highlighted the significance of the 21 exponential moving average on the weekly timeframe and cautioned against losing it as it could signal a deviation back into the old trading range. Despite hitting those levels, there was historical precedence for a rebound, especially between the 100 and 150-day moving averages within the bull market.

While there might be short-term spikes, the overall trend remains bullish, though correction phases can last up to 8 to 12 weeks with drawdowns of 20 to 40%. Bitcoin has seen a 23% drop, with a potential further decline to around $44,000. However, any such move is expected to be brief, with a swift rebound anticipated.

The analyst added, “If the weekly candle starts to close above $60,000, well, you can see very quickly how a major bear trap would have unfolded over there. So currently we’re putting in a little bit of a wick.”
