In another tweet, the trader noted that Bitcoin is back at the range high, adding that "Bitcoin is just one Weekly Close above the Range High away from entering the Parabolic Phase of the cycle."
However, the trader cautions that Bitcoin may not be able to achieve this only 50 days after the Halving.

While he estimates price to reach $90,000 in less than two months, the trader added "I'll be buying a second and final tranche if we get a pullback to mid $60,000s."
