The message to followers was, “H6 55EMA and high volume pocket between $66,000-500 should be a good area to watch for support; shorts will take profit here and should.”

Emperor also watched the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA), trading at $63,300 on 6-hour periods.

For Bitcoin to rise, it must flip $69K.

Co-founder Keith Alan emphasized in a different X conversation that total candles must close over $69,000 for bulls to have a chance to test the all-time highs set in March.

He said earlier in the day, “Remember the importance of historical and technical resistance at the 2021 Top, even though there is heavy ask liquidity stacked above $70k.”

“We may see some high wicks, but I don’t expect a sustainable run to ATH territory without full candles printing above $69k.”
