Trader Notes:

Trader Jelle said Bitcoin is nearing a key market structure break. Clearing previous highs would flip the higher time frame structure bullish, with the weekly close crucial for confirmation.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez highlighted Bitcoin is retesting the $80,600 breakout level after reaching $82,280. Holding that support could open the door to $85,000.
