Trader Commentary

Scott Melker notes that Bitcoin’s previous bullish divergences are now invalid and replaced by a hidden bearish divergence. After a short bounce, the market is in a wait-and-see phase for clearer direction.

Crypto trader Niels points out that altcoin/BTC pairs hit their lowest level in five years this month.

Historically, such lows have preceded months of altcoin outperformance. Despite a long downtrend, conditions are slowly shifting toward a risk-on environment.

Ether Wizz observes a potential bull flag forming for Ethereum. As long as the current support zone holds, the outlook remains bullish, keeping a $6,000–$8,000 ETH by year-end within reach.
