Trader Notes: Despite the current noise, Crypto trader Degen Hardy points out that Bitcoin is still within its typical range, similar to prior bull markets.
He believes that the 4-year cycle indicates more time before reaching the top, and history shows that Bitcoin can drop by 30% before its next big upward move.
Hardy remains confident, saying, "A dip to $70,000? Still a bullish outlook," and advises traders to stay calm, take profits and dollar-cost average the dip.
Cold Blooded Shiller advises traders to focus on higher timeframes, as Bitcoin remains within its established range.
He notes that Bitcoin is nearing $97,000 to $98,000, levels where significant interaction has occurred previously.
While altcoins are facing the usual volatility, he believes this is simply part of the cycle.
Shiller describes the current market as “choppy,” with a lot of back-and-forth action, which could be the setup for the next big move.
Statistics: Coinglass data shows liquidations across the market reached $311.9 million, with $282.5 million of that in long positions.

Industry expert Axel Adel Jr noted that the market contraction was fueled by low activity and lack of bullish news, with short-sellers taking advantage of liquidations.
