Another prominent trader, Zoran Kole suggested similar levels for buy orders based on the CME Bitcoin futures chart. He tweeted,

$BTC Update: 1d CME e2e completed on the money. Already filled the gap down to 95xx. I believe this is foreshadowing for spot. I like 94-95xx for re-entry with stops below 9050. #crypto
