A seasoned crypto analyst, recognized for accurately predicting the May 2021 market crash, has speculated that Bitcoin (BTC) could surge to $150,000 in the coming months.
Dave the Wave stated that such a move, representing a 55% jump, would align with historical patterns.
The chart accompanying his analysis highlights Bitcoin’s movement within a broad ascending wedge, suggesting the possibility of BTC reaching $150,000 by April if it touches the wedge’s upper boundary. Dave the Wave noted, “A BTC move to $150,000 this southern summer would not be extraordinary.”

Focusing on the short term, he pointed out that Bitcoin is holding its position within a smaller ascending channel, currently trading near the lower support level. At the time of analysis, Bitcoin’s price was $96,477.
The trader also expressed optimism for altcoins, highlighting a potential decline in Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D). His chart indicated that BTC.D might be breaking down from a bearish ascending wedge and facing diagonal resistance at the 57% mark, signaling an opportunity for altcoins to rally.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
