Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices chasing the all-time high levels, crypto trader Kaleo tweeted "Bitcoin is currently one Ethereum away from $100,000."

Benjamin Cowen explained Bitcoin is tracking the average returns of prior halving years and if this trend continues Bitcoin could reach $120,000.

Crypto trader Kevin explained that despite BTC nearing $100,000, there is minimal hype compared to the 2020-2021 bull run.

He highlights a lack of live streams, sensational thumbnails, and low engagement across platforms, along with muted sentiment on Google Trends.

He believes investors' focus on altcoins and frustration with lack of movement could be one factor while market not reaching euphoric stage could signal still far away from cycle's peak.
