Jelle writes, "And just like in 2017, the trains are starting to leave the station after ±100 days of chop. Right on queue. It’s time for expansion. Higher.”

He further elaborated that Bitcoin has been consolidating below $72,000 for 100 days, building pressure for a breakout. He predicts that once Bitcoin surpasses this level, it will likely reach around $86,000. "Looks ready for another push. Let's see," he added.
