Miles Deutscher noted that peaks in the Dollar Index (DXY) have historically preceded BTC rallies, questioning if this is another key turning point.

Crypto trader sees Bitcoin holding key support, suggesting that a reclaim of the blue range—potentially after dipping to $94,327—could pave the way for a move toward $97,000-$98,000.
