Bitcoin Price Prediction: The Last Leg-Up That Confirms A Resounding Rally To $150,000

A new Bitcoin price prediction suggests that the flagship cryptocurrency needs just one more leg up to kickstart a powerful bullish move toward $150,000 and beyond. With Bitcoin getting ready to once again hit new all-time highs, technical formations suggest that this projected rally could be the final confirmation of a long-term breakout.   Bitcoin Price Roadmap To $150,000 ATH A new Bitcoin price analysis released by market expert CrediBull Crypto on X (formerly Twitter) predicts that BTC is gearing up for a massive surge to $150,000. The analyst shared a Bitcoin price chart, using Elliott Wave theory on the lower time frames to break down the roadmap to this new all-time high target.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Bullish Confirmation: What Needs To Happen For Next Leg Up To $130,000 Bitcoin is currently forming a 5-wave impulse move on the lower timeframe. The recent price action suggests that it has completed sub-waves i, ii, iii, iv, and v, collectively forming what appears to be Wave 1. Following this, the cryptocurrency experienced a collective pullback in Wave 2, which acted as support and now serves as a launchpad for the next major leg in Wave 3the longest and most explosive wave in an impulse sequence.   If the next wave completes to the upside, it would strongly suggest that Bitcoin is not in a corrective pattern but rather an impulsive trend that could take it to a six-figure valuation once again.  CrediBull Crypto has highlighted $89,000 as a critical level for Bitcoin. He suggested that if the cryptocurrency drops below this price zone before pushing higher, the Elliott Wave structure would likely morph into a 3-legged corrective pattern rather than a 5-wave impulse. This move would imply that the projected rally is not the start of a macro breakout, and the market may have to wait longer for a confirmation.  On the other hand, holding above $89,000 and printing a higher high would complete the anticipated final leg up, validating the start of the large Wave 3 on higher time frames. This bullish scenario would support a strong accumulation strategy, where price declines could become opportunities to buy as Bitcoin targets $150,000 or more.  MVRV Golden Cross Signals BTC Bull Rally Bitcoins Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has formed a Golden Cross with its 365-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), according to fresh data shared by crypto analyst Ali Martínez. The analyst has shared an optimistic outlook for Bitcoin, highlighting that this technical event could spark the next BTC bull rally.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Following Analysts Prediction For Bullish Breakout, Heres The Target The Bitcoin chart, published via CryptoQuant, highlights the MVRV ratio surging above the long-term Moving Average. A rising MVRV ratio typically suggests that BTC holders are once again in profit, and sentiment is shifting from bearish to bullish. The last time this crossover occurred, Bitcoin saw a multi-month rally that pushed its price to new all-time highs. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Altcoins Shows Buy Signals, Massive Opportunity Beckons: Analyst

As the price of Bitcoin (BTC) continues to demonstrate a major fall in valuation, indicating a gloomy attitude toward the crypto asset, the bulls in the market are hopeful that the market will soon enter another Season for Altcoins. Altcoins Showing Massive Buying Opportunity  Bitcoin’s recent dip signaled the beginning of the decline in the cryptocurrency market, causing several altcoins to drop significantly. However, many cryptocurrency analysts believe that the drop in these altcoin prices might serve as an opportunity for future gains since the alt-season is on the horizon. Related Reading: The Tipping Point: Altcoins Bull Market Incoming, Predicts Analyst Heres Why Popular cryptocurrency expert and trader Michael Van De Poppe has revealed his optimism in the altcoin market, highlighting the significant opportunities of getting into these tokens before the alt-season begins. According to Michael Van De Poppe, “some altcoins have now dropped by over 40%” in comparison to their past all-time high. As a result, Poppe believes that this is the right time for investors to purchase these digital assets to position themselves for future gains. Poppe noted he normally invests in these tokens during bull cycles when they are about 25% to 60% less expensive. This demonstrates the crypto expert’s confidence in the assets to rally in the coming months. While pointing out the massive opportunities in the market, Poppe has underscored Arbitrum (ARB) as one of the altcoins investors should watch out for. He believes that ARB could realize substantial gains in time, as the token is down and poised for a new leg UP. Recently, there have been notable advancements in the crypto asset’s price, demonstrating momentum for an upward movement. As of the time of writing, ARB was trading at $1.70, indicating an over 10% increase in the daily timeframe. However, in the weekly and monthly timeframe, ARB is down by 22% and 15%, respectively. Meanwhile, Arbitrum’s market capitalization has increased by roughly 10% to exceed the $4.5 billion threshold. Top ALTs To Purchase After Bitcoin’s Retracement On-chain analyticS platform Santiment has also highlighted the drop in altcoins as a shot to garner profits in the upcoming months. Santiment pointed out several altcoins that offer a “possible bullish opportunity,” following Bitcoin’s crash today to a two-week low of $61,700. Related Reading: Is Altcoin Season Upon Us? Heres What Bitcoins Performance Shows Some of the tokens listed by Santiment are BOUNCE, LDO, OMG, STORJ, and SNX. The MVRV Opportunity and Danger Zone Model, according to Santiment, shows that many altcoins have now declined to the point where mid-term trading returns are in an “opportunity zone.” However, when an asset’s 30-day, 90-day, and 365-day average wallet returns add up to be negative, this zone is breached. Even with the recent general correction, the altcoins market appears to be headed toward a favorable long-term picture. Consequently, this presents an excellent chance for investors to purchase these digital assets at a reduced cost. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from Tradingview.com

Is It Time To Give Up On Ethereum Below $4,000? Analyst Weighs The Facts

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has discussed Ethereum current price action as the second largest crypto by market cap remains below $4,000. The analyst outlined some facts to give a clearer picture of whether or not it is the right time to give up on ETH.  Analyst Discusses Whether It Is Time To Give Up On Ethereum In an X post, Ali Martinez outlined certain facts to determine whether it is time to give up on Ethereum. First, the analyst noted that ETH has been one of the weakest performers lately, a development that looks to have prompted Vitalik Buterin to shake things up by changing the Ethereum Foundations leadership team. Related Reading: Ethereum Gets Massive $12,000 Price Tag From Research Lead Ahead Of Major Upgrade Martinez then alluded to historical data showing that Ethereum performs well in the first quarter of each year. The analyst had previously hinted that this year is unlikely to be different. Back then, he noted that ETH delivers its strongest performance in Q1, particularly in odd-numbered years, and 2025 is one such year. Given Ethereums positive Q1 performance, Martinez remarked that this could explain why crypto whales have accumulated over $1 billion worth of ETH in the past week alone. He previously revealed that these whales had bought over 330,000 ETH, valued at over $1 billion.  Furthermore, the crypto analyst remarked that the buying pressure is also evident in the exchange outflows, with nearly $2 billion in Ethereum withdrawn from crypto platforms over the past month. Specifically, 540,000 ETH, worth $1.84 billion, were withdrawn from exchanges over the past month. This accumulation trend is a positive as it indicates investors are still bullish on ETH.  However, for Ethereum to break out bullishly, Martinez mentioned that it must overcome several key resistance levels. From an on-chain perspective, the crypto analyst highlighted the $3,360 to $3,450 zone as the major supply wall. This range is the most critical resistance level for ETH, while the key support zone is between $3,066 and $3,160.  From A Technical Analysis Perspective Martinez also provided insights into the Ethereum price action from a technical analysis perspective. He stated that ETH appears to be forming the right shoulder of a head-and-shoulders pattern, with a neckline of $4,000. He added that a decisive breakout above this level could fuel a rally toward $7,000. Related Reading: Ethereums Large Consolidation Trend Points To Possible Price Explosion To $8,000 The crypto analyst also revealed that this upside target aligns with the Ethereum 3.2 Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Pricing Band, which is currently hovering around $7,000. Amid this bullish outlook, Martinez mentioned that one concerning sign is Ethereums network growth, which has slowed down. The number of new ETH addresses is said to have declined by 9.32%, indicating reduced adoption.  Despite that, Martinez believes that Ethereums outlook is still bullish. He told market participants to keep an eye on the $2,700 to $3,000 support zone. According to him, this demand zone must hold to maintain ETHs bullish outlook.  At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at around $3,200, down 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
