Trader Notes: Crypto trader Jelle highlights a surge in institutional and governmental fear of missing out for Bitcoin, suggesting that a new “gold rush” era may be underway as corporations and states race to secure exposure.

Jelle emphasized Bitcoin’s ongoing battle at the $105,000 level—calling it a pivotal zone.

A confirmed flip into support could send BTC surging toward $130,000, while a breakdown might lead to a retest of $95,000.

He also pointed out a major liquidation cluster above $110,000, raising the question of whether it could act as fuel for an explosive breakout.

On Ethereum, Jelle noted that price is pressing into a key resistance zone. If that area is reclaimed, he expects ETH to accelerate sharply to the upside.

For Dogecoin, trader Tardigrade pointed to the Bollinger BandWidth tightening, historically a precursor to major volatility. He predicts a huge pump for July.

XForceGlobal remains bullish on XRP, stating that all medium-term indicators point to a new all-time high. The wave patterns from XRP’s January peak to its April low show near-perfect symmetry and align closely with key Fibonacci levels (61.8% and 100%). The trader suggests this pattern hints at structured, even manipulated movement, but ultimately in a bullish direction.
