Trader Notes: Crypto trader XO reflects on Bitcoin’s evolving market behavior, pointing out a noticeable shift from the sharp, aggressive breakouts of past cycles to a more measured and steady price action in the current one.

He attributes this to rising institutional and commercial participation, comparing it to how traditional indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gradually grind higher after breaching all-time highs.

While Bitcoin remains a high-beta asset, its growing market cap and adoption may be steering it toward more mature, cycle-driven dynamics.

Crypto trader Jelle highlights Bitcoin's strong recovery on the 1-hour chart, signaling a return of bullish momentum. He notes that a break above $120,000 could act as a trigger for a fresh all-time high breakout.

Stockmoney Lizards adds that although it's not a full-blown altseason yet, Bitcoin dominance is likely to persist for a few more months.

However, this doesn't rule out altcoin rallies, many could still rise alongside BTC. He advises to enjoy the ride, even if Bitcoin is leading the charge.
