Founder and CEO of IntoCryptoverse, Benjamin Cowen sees Bitcoin's choppiness since March places it still ahead of where it normally is at this point in the cycle.

This shows #BTC cycle ROI from the low.

Despite the choppiness since March, BTC is *still* ahead of where it normally is at this point in the cycle.

Another crypto trader noted that if Bitcoin loses the quarterly open, then daily demand is likely at $59,000 to $60,000 with monthly support/resistance confluence.

Sistine Research in their latest X post stated that Bitcoin is nowhere close to pricing in the 50% odds of a BTC strategic reserve. It believes that this will happen between now and the election. The prediction from the research stands at, "$85,000 – $100,000 BTC before Nov 5."

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
