Some analysts are warning of a potential significant downturn before Bitcoin can advance toward new all-time highs (ATHs).

Mikybull Crypto highlights that Bitcoin’s recent dominance could signal a forthcoming severe decline, akin to past patterns.
Despite these bearish predictions, Mikybull Crypto forecasts that Bitcoin could eventually surge to $95,000 and then $142,000, representing significant gains of 60% and 140% from its current value, though these levels might not be reached until 2025.
Additionally, analyst TheMoonCarl has noted that Bitcoin faces crucial resistance levels. If these are overcome, Bitcoin might reach a target of $125,000, potentially as early as September, based on a ‘cup and handle’ pattern.
