If history were to repeat itself, Ethereum could begin a strong comeback against bitcoin, without the majority of investors yet realizing this latent change.

Bitcoin faces a decisive zone. As the post-halving euphoria fades, the spotlight turns to a key level: $65,000. Much more than a former peak, this threshold becomes a cycle indicator, at the intersection of technical tensions and long-term projections.
