Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodities strategist Mike McGlone has shared a chart-based view suggesting Bitcoin's most frequently traded level since 2023 sits near $28,000, despite a cycle average around $66,000.

Back also warned that contentious soft forks without broad alignment could fragment the network and weaken Bitcoin's role as a monetary system.

This recovery brings ADA close to the crypto top 10, but larger valuations for Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin and TRON mean the bar for entry has risen. Analysts highlight that sustained capital rotation into mid-cap layer-1s and stronger on-chain, fee-generating ecosystem activity are key for ADA to keep its position among leading networks.
