Trader Notes: Crypto trader Ted Pillows predicts Bitcoin still has one final, explosive move left in this cycle, eyeing a blow-off top above $160,000 sometime in 2025.

The Cryptomist says BTC has already broken out and is now eyeing a push toward $109,000. If Bitcoin clears the $109,000–$109,500 resistance band, it could rally further to $111,000.

Roman, however, urges caution. While acknowledging BTC's upside potential, he warns that high timeframe indicators resemble those seen near the 2021 market top, raising the risk of a 75%+ correction if history rhymes. The current risk-reward ratio, he suggests, is becoming less favorable.

Rekt Capital adds that Bitcoin's most recent price discovery correction lasted unusually long compared to prior cycles. For BTC to form three distinct price discovery legs, any next correction may be shorter and sharper, marking a potentially volatile final phase of the bull run.
