A well-known crypto analyst anticipates a major Bitcoin surge once its current period of sideways movement concludes.
In a recent update, Credible Crypto, a trader who applies Elliott Wave theory to market trends, suggests that Bitcoin is gearing up for a powerful rally. He predicts a potential price increase of at least 52% in the coming weeks, marking the final stage of a long-term bullish cycle that began in 2018 when Bitcoin was priced at $3,000.
According to Elliott Wave theory, asset prices move in a structured five-wave pattern during an uptrend, followed by a three-wave correction.
The analyst believes Bitcoin is entering the final, most intense phase of this cycle, with a minimum target of $150,000. He expects an initial breakout, a brief period of consolidation, and then a final push that could take Bitcoin close to $300,000.
However, he also warns that short-term pullbacks are possible, with Bitcoin potentially dipping as low as $80,000—or even $70,000—before resuming its upward trajectory.
Despite this, he remains confident that the overall market structure remains bullish and that any such retracement would be a normal part of Bitcoin’s path toward new highs.
SkyBridge Capital’s Anthony Scaramucci is signaling a shift in crypto investing, describing Bitcoin as increasingly behaving like a standalone asset class and endorsing Solana as a top candidate for ETF growth.
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.
