Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe envisions significant growth for Bitcoin in the current cycle, projecting gains that could far surpass its previous milestones.
Van de Poppe suggested Bitcoin could potentially soar to $500,000 during this cycle.
He referenced the rainbow chart, explaining that the previous cycle didn’t reach its expected peak. According to him, as time progresses and cycles lengthen, Bitcoin’s price tends to rise naturally.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $106,050, with a recent record high of over $108,000 set on Monday.
Van de Poppe also expressed optimism about altcoins, suggesting they’re on the verge of a major breakout. He advised sticking with current positions to maximize returns, estimating potential gains of 3-5x in Bitcoin value for those holding altcoins.
He highlighted that many altcoins remain in accumulation phases against Bitcoin, signaling an opportunity for significant upward movement. However, he cautioned that the upcoming rally could be highly volatile, with sharp corrections similar to those witnessed recently, making it crucial for investors to strategically take profits during the climb.
