Trader Notes:

Bitcoin is holding near $74,000–$75,000 despite the Binance hack, Democratic midterm sweep and tech sell-off, as analysts in an interview with Scott Melker debate whether the market has bottomed.

Bloomberg’s Mike McGlone remains bearish, warning that rising Fed rate hike expectations, weakening equities and commodity liquidations could trigger further crypto losses.

He sees Bitcoin as a leading indicator of broader market weakness and favors U.S. Treasuries over risk assets.

Milk Road CEO and analyst Kyle Reidhead expects Bitcoin could dip into the low $70,000s before recovering, arguing that its resilience signals selling pressure is nearing exhaustion.

He sees lower oil prices, easing geopolitical tensions and growing adoption of tokenization, stablecoins and DeFi as potential catalysts for a new crypto bull market.
