Scient sees a potential move higher but warned that a break below $1,750 could open up an opportunity to reload longs between $1,600–$1,550.

Crypto Chase is on the sidelines for Bitcoin, awaiting clearer structure or a deeper pullback before entering a long.

For Solana, he's watching $135 as a key support level but doubts it will hold if BTC dips to $88,000. He does not expect it to hold if BTC makes a big move like $88,000, price action doesn’t have to align perfectly across assets.

Ali Martinez noted Dogecoin is testing key support around $0.167. Holding this level could open the door for a rebound to $0.175 and possibly $0.183.
