Trader Notes: Long-term crypto and stock investor Jelle noted that "Bitcoin broke out from the falling wedge and is retesting it now." He suggests if it can hold above here, new all-time highs will come quickly.

Rekt Capital tweeted that this bull market is not slow and it has broken to "new All Time Highs 260 days ahead of schedule per traditional Halving Cycles."

Heavily followed crypto trader Emperor said not to complicate Bitcoin. He adds that the main plan is to hold $67,400 and continue up.

He stated that the bull market is very fast and it needs to slow down if it wants to "resynchronise with normal Halving Cycles."  He concludes, "And even though Bitcoin has consolidated for over 2.5 months, the rate of acceleration in this current cycle is still just over 170 days."
