Trader Notes:

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez says Bitcoin is nearing a breakout as it trades within a symmetrical triangle, with key resistance at $63,000 and support at $61,000.

A decisive hourly close above or below this range could trigger a roughly 10% move, with volume expected to provide early confirmation of the breakout direction.

Ted Pillows notes that Bitcoin has historically never bottomed below its estimated electrical production cost, currently around $49,390, except during the COVID-19 crash.

Based on this metric, a drop below $50,000 would likely require a major market shock, such as an FTX-style collapse or a significant geopolitical escalation.
