Trader Notes: Crypto trader Kaleo highlighted that Bitcoin has just set a new all-time high relative to the Nasdaq, breaking above its 2021 peak.

BTC is now consolidating near those levels, a bullish sign suggesting it's primed for another breakout. Momentum favors further upside, and this looks like the start of a major outperformance leg, Kaleo noted.

More Crypto Online offered a technical perspective, observing that Bitcoin remains in consolidation.

The current structure resembles a wave B correction, which typically precedes a stronger wave C move to the upside.

A minor final dip within wave B would be “healthy,” with the broader setup still leaning bullish as long as key support holds.

Meanwhile, Titan of Crypto noted Bitcoin is tightly range-bound between $92,800 and $95,800, awaiting a decisive move.

Despite the lack of a breakout, the steadily rising Tenkan line (a key Ichimoku indicator) reflects increasing buyer strength.

If this trend continues, Titan says a bullish breakout is the more likely outcome.
