Trader Notes: With Bitcoin heading towards $100,000, crypto trader Kevin noted that it's tough to be bearish on the BTC chart.
Crypto trader Mayne highlighted key levels: Bitcoin above $99,500 and Ethereum above $2,850 as crucial for a potential mean reversion move.
Meanwhile, trader CJ is watching for a reaction at $98,826 and looking to buy dips around $96,000–$96,500, expecting a setup toward $105,000.
Network Economist Timothy Peterson emphasized Bitcoin cycle timing: in a bull market period of 9 months, traders can expect to double money, with an average annualized return of 152%. In a bear market of 34 months, returns slow significantly with an average annualized return of 28%, making the doubling time much longer.
