Trader Notes: Bitcoin nearing $100,000 sparked mixed sentiments among traders.
Altcoin Sherpa quipped "See you guys at $60,000" when Bitcoin failed to break through the psychological barrier.
Crypto trader Seth highlights a "thick and sticky sell wall" as the obstacle.
Dogecoin founder Billy Markus stated, "maybe bitcoin will become a $99,000 stablecoin."
Quinten Francois remains optimistic, stating the Bitcoin bull market has "just started."
Daan Crypto Trades explained that traders are preemptively shifting from altcoins to Bitcoin as it edges closer to the $100,000 milestone.
He predicts a breakout, followed by consolidation could lead to altcoin rebounds. Until then, Bitcoin is expected to continue absorbing liquidity.
