A leading crypto analyst advises investors to wait for Bitcoin to drop to the low $40,000s before buying, suggesting this could be the best entry point for the upcoming market rally.
Markus Thielen from 10x Research told Cointelegraph that targeting Bitcoin’s price in the low $40,000s might set up investors for the next major bull run. Bitcoin was last seen in this price range in early February.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $57,400, up 4.25% in the past 24 hours. Analysts including Timothy Peterson and Crypto Rover predict that Bitcoin could fall to $40,000 soon. David Gokhstein also views a potential drop to $40,000 or $50,000 as an ideal buying opportunity.
Thielen expressed doubts about holding Bitcoin long-term, noting that recent market volatility and the lack of high returns compared to U.S. stocks make it a less attractive option.
He recommends setting a stop-loss around $54,000 to manage risks, especially given the recent outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and their underperformance compared to their launch price.
