$BTC is holding firm above the $104,000 mark, fueling optimism among traders as the historically bullish second half of the year approaches. Analysts note that BTC’s current consolidation is occurring within a strong uptrend, suggesting potential for a breakout. “$BTC continues to consolidate bullishly, and a move through recent highs could set up a run toward $145,000,” one trader commented. Historically, $BTC has shown strong performance in Q3 and Q4, often driven by institutional interest, ETF momentum, and macroeconomic factors. A breakout above resistance levels could ignite the next leg of the bull market rally.
