Trader Notes: Veteran analyst Benjamin Cowen expects Bitcoin dominance to increase for the remainder of the year. He expects a reversal only in 2025.

With #ALT / #BTC pairs still about 27% off their lows, #DXY climbing, yields going up, and QT continuing, #BTC dominance will likely go higher into EOY.

I do think #BTC dominance will go down in 2025, but that is 1.5 months away, and a lot can happen between now and then. pic.twitter.com/9xosZy9y9N

A poll by trader TheFlowHorse shows his audience divided over whether Bitcoin will trade above $89,500 on the weekend, with a slight 54% majority saying yes.

Technical analyst Pierre outlined the likely paths for Bitcoin in the short term: either a flip of the resistance level around $90,000, which could lead to new highs, or a visit to the bottom of the range around $85,000. In between the two prices, he expects sideways trading action.
