However, crypto analysts remain optimistic about BTC\u2019s performance and consider the drag down to be part of the quarterly retest. Is Bitcoin Headed For A \u2018Chop Summer\u2019? On Tuesday, crypto analyst Jelle made a case for Bitcoin\u2019s bullish momentum. Amid the bearish sentiment from some community sectors, the crypto investor believes BTC\u2019s bull run isn\u2019t over. Per Jelle\u2019s posts, Bitcoin has been holding key support levels despite its brief fall under $60,000. Additionally, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization displays a \u201cstill firmly bullish\u201d higher-timeframe structure. This structure exhibits BTC\u2019s performance consistently, making higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) for the last year and a half. Per the chart, the price drop remains a higher low than the May 1 retrace, which remains the deepest this cycle. Jelly criticized those who send \u201chate\u201d to bullish investors, highlighting that \u201cBitcoin has consistently moved higher for nearly 20 months.\u201d He suggested that \u201cIn a bull market, conviction pays.\u201d Moreover, he pointed out that the flagship cryptocurrency exhibits a bullish flag below all-time high levels. To the analyst, this consolidation could play out similarly to the consolidation below the $30,000 resistance range. If it were to happen, Bitcoin would see a \u201cchop summer\u201d below the new key resistance, the $74,000 ATH price, before breaking out. According to Jelle, the breakout could cost BTC $100,000. Quarterly Retest: \u2018Red Monday, Green Week\u2019? Despite the long-term forecast, Jelle set a $63,500 target for this week. During Monday\u2019s drop, the analyst stated that BTC\u2019s performance was playing out like it was in 2016-2017. Furthermore, pointed out that Bitcoin\u2019s key support level of $58,000 is \u201cdoing its job\u201d during this \u201cquarterly retrace.\u201d To Jelle, BTC can \u201clock in a lower-timeframe higher low\u201d this Tuesday. As a result, the analyst considers that bulls can run the flagship cryptocurrency to $63,500 by the end of the week. Jelle also believes Bitcoin could surpass its weekly open, making it a \u201cRed Monday, Green Week.\u201d Altcoin Sherpa also suggested that BTC could reach the weekly open. Per the analyst, the current range remains a \u201cbounce region,\u201d which could return the price to $64,000.
