In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, Lucas joins John Gillen to break down the recent Bitcoin and crypto rally, whether the bear market is finally ending, and why his outlook on Ethereum has changed dramatically. Lucas explains why Ethereum today reminds him of Solana after the FTX collapse: sentiment is washed out, investors have capitulated, but the fundamentals underneath the network are improving. With Wall Street accelerating its move onchain, tokenized assets growing, and Ethereum refocusing its roadmap around L1 scaling, privacy, and long-term resilience, could ETH be significantly under-owned?

In today's episode of Milk Road Crypto, John and LG break down why Bitcoin's Bollinger Bands are tightening, signaling that a major volatility event could be approaching. John identifies $83,500 as the key breakout level that could send BTC toward $90,000-$95,000, while $78,000 remains a crucial level of support. Meanwhile, traditional financial markets are showing signs of stress. Hedge funds are unwinding leverage, AI stocks are facing selling pressure, and macroeconomic uncertainty continues to grow. Yet Bitcoin is refusing to break down. Is this the ultimate bullish signal, or is the crypto market preparing for another major correction?
