Trader Notes: Crypto trader Carl Moon believes Bitcoin may consolidate before a potential dip, but reassures that the overall bullish structure remains intact. He advises investors to stay confident and treat any pullback as a buy-the-dip opportunity.

However, Stockmoney Lizards reflected on their earlier bullish call and noted that while price action looked strong yesterday, today’s rejection signals possible short-term range-bound trading. Still, the macro picture remains bullish, with their $130,000 target by October 2025 standing firm.

Daan Crypto Trades points to rising tension within Bitcoin’s current monthly range, noting it’s primed for a breakout—likely before the end of June. Weekly highs and lows are also being squeezed, and he expects a major move within 1–2 weeks, urging traders to watch key support/resistance levels closely.

Michael van de Poppe highlights that Bitcoin is tapping liquidity zones, which could trigger further downside, but sees it as a prime accumulation area. With the FOMC meeting ahead, he notes a historical trend where Bitcoin tends to bottom the day before, hinting at a possible rebound very soon.
