Fellow Crypto trader Tony remained hopeful of a trip to $32,000 next, should Bitcoin successfully consolidate near $31,000.
If Bitcoin can consolidate around these highs at $31,000, then a burst to $32,000 won't be a problem.

โI am not sure if we will continue to rally from here, but during uptrends you will most likely see price continue to rally rather than make deep corrections. If we have a correction, I buy $28,500.โ
