Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices crossing the $66,000 mark, Smiley Capital said its time for "more bullish propaganda." The trader pointed out a pattern that has held for the last three Bitcoin bull runs.

Crypto trader Ali Martinez noted that Bitcoin open interest across all exchanges peaked to a new all-time high of $19.75 billion. He added that this surge implies "big price moves ahead, with more capital on the line." Coinglass data reported Bitcoin open interest of $37.3 billion, the highest since July 29.

Cold Blooded Shiller suggests that Bitcoin is approaching a critical battle zone on the weekly chart. Indicators on the Daily chart, such as the RSI at 67 show stalling momentum. If Bitcoin breaks above this level, it will confirm a shift in market momentum, signaling that bulls are in control.

The analyst predicts that if the market enters the “overbought” zone for the first time in 7 months, it could stay there for a while, potentially pushing Bitcoin to $100,000 and beyond. This shift would mark a significant technical breakout.

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.
