Analyst Notes: "Decent move on Bitcoin, in which the weekly and monthly candles are improving. Needs to get a higher low and then we'll continue moving towards $30,000," said crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe.
Pseudonymous trader DonAlt’s suggests that the lack of follow-through from BTC bears after defending resistance at $30,000 is a good sign for Bitcoin's future.

DonAlt notes that Bitcoin traditionally plummets after hitting a key resistance level but the fact that it is consolidating near $30,000 is a positive sign, indicating there may be more good news on the horizon for the cryptocurrency.
"Like I said on the monthly, we've had a breakdown here, and so far nothing's happened, and I think that's a good thing for bulls. Every week that goes by I will become more and more bullish, even if (the) price doesn't change. Obviously, if (the) price goes up, I'm just going to flip back bullish entirely."
