Trader Notes:

Crypto trader Kevin says Bitcoin and Ethereum are heading for strong monthly closes, with daily trend reversals and improving higher-timeframe momentum, strength and money flows suggesting the bear market bottom is already in.

While BTC remains below the 2-day 200 EMA/SMA and 50-week SMA, a break and hold above $85,000 would provide stronger confirmation.

The analyst remains bullish on BTC and ETH, viewing any year-end dips as potentially the last major accumulation opportunity before Bitcoin moves toward $100,000 and higher next year.

Trader Jelle sees Bitcoin at a decision point near key weekly resistance. A breakout could confirm the start of a new bull market, but until that happens, taking some profits after the past two weeks’ rally may be prudent.
