Trader Notes: Crypto trader Mookie observed Bitcoin briefly touching $119,000 overnight before easing back to $117,000 on Friday, noting dominance remains below 60%.

He highlighted the $117K–$119K range as Bitcoin's current "comfort zone," with traders watching the weekend for a potential push toward a new all-time high.

Income Sharks predicts Bitcoin may soon break a trendline, which could spark more panic than necessary. He expects the market to eventually settle into a muted channel that still holds support.

MaxBecauseBTC emphasized that while Bitcoin is showing short-term weakness, Ethereum could continue running if overall market conditions remain strong. He identifies $115,000 as a key support; a break below this level could push BTC toward $110,000, with a major volume gap possibly driving it even lower.

Michael van de Poppe added that corrections are normal, noting Bitcoin recently rejected at a key level. He expects BTC to range lower for a while before attempting an upward breakout, which could give altcoins an opportunity to perform strongly.
