Trader Notes:

Trader Crypto Kaleo remains confident that Bitcoin has one final leg lower before the bear market bottom is in, though the decline could come either by mid-to-late August or sooner.

He believes the market is nearing its bottom from a timing perspective and recommend keeping capital ready to accumulate high-conviction assets.

Meanwhile, he does not expecting Bitcoin to reclaim $100,000 or set new all-time highs until 2027.

Trader KillaXBT argues that Bitcoin’s market cycle has accelerated, pointing out that it reached a new all-time high before the last halving and did so just 476 days after the cycle bottom, much faster than in prior cycles.

He expects the same pattern to repeat, with a pre-halving all-time high, faster bottoms and tops, and caution against relying too heavily on historical seasonality, which he believes has already begun to diverge.
