Watch Bitcoin for breakout above resistance or breakdown below 60K.
Bitcoin has been rangebound for 60 days, and the market is deciding direction. Key levels to watch: if Bitcoin breaks through and retests the bull market support band (resistance), it could flip to support and resume bullish momentum towards 100K. If it breaks below 60K, it might go to the 50s, but he doesn't think it will go that low. He plans to deploy more capital if it breaks below 60K, implying buying the dip.

Ethereum will reach 10K.
Ethereum will reach 10K due to adoption and development, fulfilling earlier promises, though not on the desired timeline, as part of the broader crypto opportunity.
