Analyst Notes: “Bitcoin OG” LLuciano aka Lucky noted something different in the Bitcoin chart: the last cycle top was at around $69,000 and struggled to stay in the $60,000 range for long, compared to holding $60,000 with ease this time. "This typical BTC behavior signals one thing: it’s gearing up for something big," he writes. He also predicts the largest altcoin runs are still on the horizon.

Full-time trader and analyst Skew tweeted that Bitcoin is at the "Biggest inflection zone for price" and the next target for bulls is a strong close around $69,000.

Crypto researcher and trader Alex Wacy tweeted, "Given this pattern, is it fair to assume that the way to $80k is now open?"
