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.”
