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.
Bitcoin has staged a strong comeback, briefly pushing beyond $87,000 for the first time in weeks as liquidity conditions improve globally and institutional players show signs of renewed appetite, even while concerns around U.S. trade tensions keep broader markets on edge.
Bitcoin has marked one year since its latest halving event, and long-term holders have reason to celebrate.
