“Bitcoin is seeing a massive green weekly candle with a huge wick,” crypto trader Matthew Hyland said in an Aug. 8 analysis video as Bitcoin crossed $61,000.


“This is currently forming into a massive bull hammer on the weekly time frame,” he said, adding it is highly probable that the bottom is “now in for Bitcoin for this whole structure.”Bitcoin is up 7.12% over the past 30 days. Source: CoinMarketCap


On Aug. 8, Bitcoin (BTC) briefly touched $62,510 before pulling back to $61,068 at the time of publication. According to CoinMarketCap data, the asset is up 12.46% from Aug. 7.


The quick rebound comes just days after Bitcoin fell below a key support level to $49,751 on Aug. 5, which is being called “Crypto Black Monday.” It was its first drop below $50,000 since February.


Some traders think the quick reversal suggests that the recent price dip might have been a bear trap — when experienced traders sell Bitcoin in a controlled manner to temporarily lower the asset’s price to trap short-sellers.


“What an insane weekly. Probably the most epic bear trap I’ve ever seen,” pseudonymous crypto trader Byzantine General wrote in an X post.


The sentiment among future traders has flipped accordingly and is now heavily skewed toward long positions. According to CoinGlass data, there are 52.48% in long positions compared to 47.52% in short positions.A significant amount of leveraged long positions are at risk if Bitcoin breaks the $60,000 crucial level again.

It comes only a day after Morgan Stanley, the largest wealth manager in the United States, authorized its 15,000 financial advisers to start recommending spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds to clients.

However, not all crypto analysts believe the bottom is in yet. Some think there could be further downside before Bitcoin hits new all-time highs.


On Aug. 7, 10x Research head of Research Markus Thielen stated that “to ideally time the next bull market entry, we aim for Bitcoin prices to fall into the low 40,000s.”


On Aug. 5, Cane Island Alternative Advisors founder Timothy Peterson claimed that “$40k and $80k equally likely in the next 60 days.”
