Analyst Notes: "Correction and still in the chop. Patience is required in the crypto markets but youd rather bet on the case that well be going up (whether or not well have a correction first) than expecting to go to $12,000," wrote crypto trader Michael Van de Poppe.

Pseudonymous analyst Bluntz raised concerns about BTCs recent performance. Bluntz observes a bearish lower-high pattern on the four-hour chart, indicating a potential downward correction for Bitcoin.

Bluntz believes that the current price action signals a loss of momentum for the crypto king, hinting at an ABC correction. This correction could drive Bitcoins value below the critical $28,000 mark.

"Savage four-hour forming here on BTC. I am updating my view a little bit and now expecting a deeper decline, a little bit further than just a simple $29,000 sweep, thinking more like (a move to the) $27,000 zone now."

On-chain analytics firm, Santiment, tweeted that both sharks and whales are closely monitoring the Bitcoin price range of $30,000 to $31,000, just like the rest of the traders. Interestingly, they seem to be accumulating stablecoins such as USDP and DAI at a rapid pace. This accumulation suggests a higher probability of significant cryptocurrency purchases in the near future.
