Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency analyst TARA observed a "critical" moment for Bitcoin on the price chart, prompting her to forecast an all-time high.

"The full ABCDE on price and RSI has been completed. It just broke up out of resistance (RSI) and has completed the test of the breakout ($67.8k). I think were about to see a MAJOR impulse up to $75.8k.. a new ATH!"

Prominent analyst Michal van de Poppe interpreted the sideways altcoins movement positively and hoped for an upside breakout and new highs in the coming weeks.
