Trader Notes: Michael van de Poppe notes that while Bitcoin has broken to the upside, it's still struggling at a major resistance level, with no clear trend reversal confirmed yet.

Bob Loukas highlights that BTC has retested its May cycle high, potentially marking the peak of this 60-day cycle.

While lower lows or retests are common in cycles, he notes they become less predictable in advanced bull markets.

His outlook suggests a strong rally toward a late August high, followed by a cycle decline into September.

Andrew Crypto explains that Bitcoin's recent dip wasn't surprising and was followed by a strong bounce, though it still hasn't tapped into the key demand zone.
