Trader Notes: CryptosBatman noted Bitcoin is showing a hidden bullish divergence supported by improving macro sentiment. However, he noted the price remains below key resistance, meaning the move could either extend into a short rally or fade as a temporary bounce.

Lennaert Snyder said Bitcoin remains highly sensitive to geopolitical headlines, with price action sweeping liquidity and rejecting at resistance. He added that the short-term structure is still bearish, with downside risk toward the $67,500 liquidity zone.

Daan Crypto Trades explains that Bitcoin continues to trade within a range, identifying $72,000 as key resistance. He expects choppy conditions to persist unless BTC breaks above this level or drops back toward support in the low $60,000 range.
