Flowdesk, a market manufacturer based in Paris, echoed this optimistic perspective despite the recent dim market conditions in a recent note on Telegram.
“The market is clearly enrolled, hoping to get out of a narrow band just below the maximums of all time,” Flowdesk wrote in his market update note. “There has been significant repositioning and rotation of Bitcoin to Altcoins, although BTC’s underlying resistance remains evident.”

However, the activity of loans in the chain has seen a renewed vigor, which may indicate the anticipation of an imminent market break.
To the further reinforcement of the narrative of BTC Alcista is the continuous accumulation of the corporate treasure bonds.

“The expectation of a strong continuous bitcoin,” Gabeljic said.
