Pseudonymous crypto trader Mags says Bitcoin has recovered all the losses recorded during the FTX dump, and a best case scenario for the benchmark crypto would be for BTC to continue to $25,000 without revisiting $18,700. The analyst tweeted:
“$BTC is back inside the previous range & is very close to the mid-range range ($21.5k), price has also engulfed the entire FTX dump. Best case scenario would be a continuation till $25k without re-testing $18.7k.”
Scott Melker aka The Wolf of All Streets, also points to Bitcoin’s breakout above $20,000 as likely to see the BTC price test resistance zones around $22,800 and then $25,000. The crypto trader and analyst shared the chart below on Twitter.
