Trader Notes: Entrepreneur and Bitcoin Investor Lark Davis noted that in the past three weeks Bitcoin is ranging in the mid-$50,000 range amid ETF outflows. He predicts that the next few weeks “could be the last chance to grab BTC at cheap prices” against the background of rate cuts, FTXs $16 billion cash repayment, the election and rising global liquidity.

With a 12% rally in the past seven days, CryptoCon stated that Bitcoin recently retested the Golden Curve as support just like in September 2020 before “exploding to the upside.”

The trader added that this trend allows for $186,000 for the cycle top in late 2025.

“It’s like a chess game where your opponent makes an unexpected move, forcing you to rethink your strategy, requiring patience and adaptability.”
