A well-known crypto analyst predicts that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are on the verge of a major breakout following a wave of liquidations.
Over $1.58 billion worth of leveraged positions were wiped out in a single day, pushing Bitcoin down to $86,141—its lowest level in three months.
Despite the downturn, the analyst, known as Capo, told his Telegram audience that a sharp rebound is highly probable.
He suggests that this recovery will be driven by a short squeeze, where a sudden price jump forces traders betting against the market to close their positions, fueling further upward momentum.
However, he cautions that once this surge loses steam, another significant drop could follow before the market sets the stage for new all-time highs.
Capo anticipates Bitcoin climbing to $100,000 before potentially retracing to $80,000, paving the way for a fresh bullish cycle.
As for Ethereum, he expects it to mirror Bitcoin’s pattern, eventually surging to $5,000.
As Bitcoin pushed past $111,000 on May 22, breaking its previous all-time high, activity in the futures market erupted in response.
Fifteen years ago, a programmer unknowingly made history when he traded 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas—marking the first documented purchase using cryptocurrency.
Strategy, the rebranded identity of MicroStrategy, is preparing to raise up to $2.1 billion through the sale of preferred stock as part of its ongoing effort to grow its Bitcoin portfolio.
Bitcoin’s return to six-figure territory has reignited market optimism, but unlike the short-lived surge seen in January, the current rally appears to be built on firmer ground.
