Bitcoin: Alt Season Chatter Spikes as BTC Chops

Bitcoin dominance holds firm at $73317.48 as alt season predictions flood social feeds whenever BTC enters choppy phases, echoing patterns seen across the last six months of crypto market cycles. Bitcoin price action remains locked inside the Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $78363.61 and lower support at $72235.89, while the EMA50 at $75999.78 and EMA200 at $77010.13 act as concrete overhead resistance in the prevailing bearish structure; the MACD death cross at -952.04 reinforces downside momentum even as RSI at 30.47 stays neutral, pointing to a likely test of the lower band before any sustained altcoin rotation materializes.
