Renowned trader Killa updated his views on the recent rapid surge of Bitcoin, stating that the next target for Bitcoin could reach the $88,000 range; however, if it quickly falls below $80,000, it may test the low of $70,000. Based on volume analysis, this scenario is currently unlikely.Killa, a quantitative trader focused on BTC, predicted the peak of this bull market in May 2025 and has over 200,000 followers on platform X. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688 and switched to long during the market-wide decline on June 5.

Renowned trader Killa stated, "The 'Everything is Priced In' chart records the major catalytic events in each cycle of Bitcoin, as well as the price performance after these events occur." He believes that during bear markets, negative news typically drives BTC to continue falling, leading traders to gradually form the habit of "shorting on bad news"; however, when the high time frame trend reverses, the same news may only cause temporary panic, after which Bitcoin absorbs the selling pressure and continues to rise.Recently, the market has experienced the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes, the voting expectations for the CLARITY Act, and the failure to advance the act. At one point, the market viewed these events as reasons for Bitcoin to decline further, but BTC only briefly fell below the range's low point, quickly rebounding and showing strong resilience. Even when narratives related to a "Third World War" intensified, Bitcoin began to respond relatively positively to panic factors in terms of price. He believes this performance is a significant distinction between bull and bear markets: in a bear market, bad news drives prices down, while in a bull market, bad news may prompt traders to capitulate, after which prices continue to rise.Killa noted that the important catalyst confirming the continuation of the last cycle was the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF, while a similar catalyst for this cycle may be the CLARITY Act. Bitcoin's recent ability to digest multiple pieces of bad news is an important basis for his judgment that the trend has already changed.

Renowned trader Doctor Profit posted on platform X, stating that Bitcoin has broken through the 50-week moving average (MA50) currently located at around $78,700. If it can maintain above this average by the end of the week, he will view this as a confirmation signal for the start of a new bull market. The current trend is similar to the structure from 2022 to 2023: Bitcoin has re-established itself above the 50-week average after being blocked for several weeks and experiencing a "bear trap."He pointed out that historically, Bitcoin has fallen below and then reclaimed the 50-week average 7 times, with 5 of those instances leading to a bull market, while the other two in 2011 and 2020 formed false breakouts. He noted that Bitcoin is currently still in the range of $71,000 to $82,000, and breaking through the $82,500 to $83,000 area would provide stronger confirmation; re-establishing above the 50-week average suggests that the aforementioned breakout may occur in the coming days. His personal strategy remains unchanged, as he will continue to hold spot positions and target $88,000 after overcoming the remaining resistance.

Recently, the meme coin market has been booming, and on-chain trading has become increasingly active. However, with the warming market, meme coin display pages have frequently shown highly disguised phishing links, and the "novel" attack methods have caused several seasoned traders to fall victim. Crypto KOLs @insidecalls and @cladzsol recently revealed that while scanning chains, they clicked on the meme coin homepage, which resulted in a "cloudfare verification" prompt. After completing the verification as instructed, the victim's on-chain funds were stolen. Among them, @cladzsol lost approximately $600,000 in assets.According to market news, on several recently popular meme coin display pages, the homepage redirects to a "cloudfare verification" page, which is actually a phishing link. If users follow the prompts, their computer systems will download and execute malicious scripts, leading to asset loss. This phenomenon is so rampant that it may be related to the delayed review processes of mainstream trading aggregation platforms like DexScreener. Currently, the display logic of relevant platforms is to directly reference the "official website" or social media links filled in the token metadata. These fields can be updated by token creators or those who later claim "community takeover." Hackers are exploiting this review loophole to transform meme coin display pages into new "fishing grounds" for phishing attacks. Users may inevitably click on unfamiliar links during the chain scanning process; if a "cloudfare verification" or other highly suspicious page appears, they should close it immediately to avoid interaction and protect their asset security.
