Founder and CEO of IntoCryptoverse, Benjamin Cowen sees Bitcoin’s choppiness since March places it still ahead of where it normally is at this point in the cycle.

Another crypto trader noted that if Bitcoin loses the quarterly open, then daily demand is likely at $59,000 to $60,000 with monthly support/resistance confluence.
Sistine Research in their latest X post stated that Bitcoin is nowhere close to pricing in the 50% odds of a BTC strategic reserve. It believes that this will happen between now and the election. The prediction from the research stands at, “$85,000 – $100,000 BTC before Nov 5.”
