After a brief dip, the cryptocurrency market is showing signs of recovery with Bitcoin closing in on the $100,000 milestone.
Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently shared his insights on the potential price movements of Bitcoin and Ethereum, drawing from historical patterns and recent market activity.
Martinez noted that Bitcoin has shown a tendency to rally in December following U.S. elections, with past cycles witnessing gains of 30% and 46%. If this trend continues, he suggests that Bitcoin could close the year with a price ranging between $125,000 and $140,000.
Turning to Ethereum, Martinez highlighted that large holders, or “whales,” have significantly increased their holdings. Over the past four days, these wallets accumulated 280,000 ETH, valued at approximately $1 billion, signaling strong confidence in Ethereum’s potential amid its recent rally.
Ali Martinez recently turned his attention to Worldcoin (WLD), an altcoin that’s been making waves in the crypto space. He noted that while WLD has room for additional gains, it has already hit the projected target based on a “head-and-shoulders” chart pattern, suggesting potential downside risks ahead.
