Trader Notes: Crypto trader Intuitio argues that Bitcoin has only had a taste of the bull market, while Ethereum never truly experienced one—it was merely in an echo bubble that has now deflated.

With BTC retesting its previous all-time high, he believes the claim that "the bull run hasn't even begun" may hold weight.

Jelle sees bears still in control, noting that Monday's highs were swept, followed by a lower low after a series of higher lows.

He warns that when bearish setups play out cleanly, there's no reason to chase short-term upside—instead, patience is key.

Moustache aka El Crypto Prof points out that the last time the S&P 500's daily RSI was this low, Bitcoin rallied over 300% afterward. With both BTC and the S&P 500 touching a key trendline, he believes this could be a bullish signal.
