Cardano is currently in a downtrend, continuing to show bearish tendencies as its price trends below $0.5. However, where many have seen an altcoin that does not have many prospects, crypto analyst FieryTrading believes that the digital asset is giving investors an opportunity to get in for cheap. Cardano Can Break Out Of Parallel Channel In an analysis on the TradingView website, crypto analyst FieryTrading alludes to Cardano’s ability to break out and go on a massive bull run. The analysis draws from a previous analysis where the analyst had pointed out that the Cardano price had entered a parallel channel. Related Reading: Here’s How This Ethereum Whale Made $16 Million From A Single Trade This parallel channel emerged with the last cycle’s top going into the current cycle top with a line drawn from the last cycle’s bottom when the lockdown had sent crypto prices crashing. Despite the crypto analyst first pointing out this parallel channel back in 2023, they believe that it continues to remain valid, especially as the price continues to rtend low. Back then, the crypto analyst had predicted that the ADA price, if it were to break out of this parallel channel, could rise as high as as $35. This bullish expectation continues with the most recent analysis, albeit with a price adjustment. In the Wednesday analysis, FieryTrading notes that There is still the possibility for the altcoin’s price to reach the top of the channel. In this case, the price would fully complete the move toward $30. However, the crypto analyst’s chart carries a $25 target, which would be a 5,600% rally from its current level. Source: TradingView.com ADA Bears Maintain Control Despite the bullish outlook maintained by the crypto analyst, Cardano has succumbed to the bears. The price has dropped as low as $0.44 in the last day, indicating a 1.38% decline. On a wider timeframe, the ADA price looks even worse, with an almost 28% drop in one month.

Fragile Fundamentals Threaten To Send ETH Crashing However, despite this trend, the analyst still believes that investing in Cardano right now is a risk worth taking. FieryTrading refers to it as “the entry of a lifetime” that could guarantee good returns. Moreover, the analyst gives it a R/R (risk/reward) ratio of 116, which is a good number. For now, the ADA price is still struggling to hold up in the market. This is not helped by the decline in market sentiment, leading to a nasty 22% drop in its daily trading volume, according to data from Coinmarketcap.

Mike McGlone, Senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, has made a rather pessimistic prediction for Bitcoin, emphasizing that the cryptocurrency’s potential rise to $150,00 was a long shot. The strategist has revealed factors that could make Bitcoin’s projected surge to $150,000 difficult, highlighting both macroeconomic trends and Bitcoin’s performance in 2024. Bitcoin Surge To $150,000 Unlikely In a recent interview with Scott Melker, the host of “The Wolf Of All Streets,” podcast, McGlone discussed Bitcoin’s price fundamentals and its possible rise to $150,000 in the 2024 bull cycle. Related Reading: Crypto Whale Spends $10.4 Million On PEPE, Do They Know Something You Don’t? Comparing Bitcoin with the stock market index, the S&P 500, the Bloomberg strategist disclosed that the cryptocurrency was currently showing “divergent weakness,” highlighting that Bitcoin’s performance against the S&P 500 in 2021 was greater compared to 2024. He also revealed that Bitcoin was displaying a similar weak performance to Gold, emphasizing current market conditions and the risk of short-term deflation in the financial market. The combination of these factors pushes McGlone to believe that Bitcoin’s short-term projected rise to $150,000 was unlikely. While the Bloomberg strategist made his foreboding prediction despite Bitcoin’s overperformance at the beginning of the year, McGlone still remains optimistic about the cryptocurrency’s price and fundamental value in the long term. Co-founder and CEO of CoinRoutes, Dave Weisberger, who was also in the podcast with McGlone, made a more optimistic prediction for Bitcoin. Basing his analysis on historical trends and patterns as far back as 2015, Weisberger forecasted that Bitcoin could rise to $200,000 this cycle. His forecast is also acknowledged by reformed hedge fund manager, James Lavish, who revealed in the podcast that Spot Bitcoin ETFs could become a potential driver for Bitcoin’s continuous growth. This is attributed to the massive impact Bitcoin ETFs had on the cryptocurrency’s price following its launch on January 11, 2024. After Spot Bitcoin ETFs were successfully released into the market, the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed to new all-time highs above $73,000. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $63,778, marking a 0.89% increase over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap. BTC Crash Presents Perfect Opportunity According to Lavish, if Bitcoin crashes down to the $30,000 to $40,000 range, it would present a “tremendous opportunity” for investors to acquire substantial value in a long-term asset that will essentially hold its value and continue to appreciate in the future. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Cardano Bloodbath Far From Over, Sets Bottom Price For ADA The reformed hedge fund manager revealed that Bitcoin’s short-term volatility and market unpredictability could produce long-term capture of value. This suggests that by strategically navigating through the price fluctuations of Bitcoin, investors could potentially capitalize on its volatility to accumulate wealth over time, which in turn could favorably impact the price of the cryptocurrency.

Dogecoin has now presumably entered a long-term bullish rally that could send its price higher from here, according to one crypto analyst.

Cardano has recovered from its April lows and continues to maintain a strong momentum above $0.45. This has prompted expectations that the altcoin will go on a rally from here. However, not everyone shares this sentiment as one crypto analyst expects the price to crash further from here. Cardano Will Crash Back Below $0.45 In the latest video on his YouTube channel that revolved around Cardano’s future trajectory, crypto analyst, ‘More Crypto Online’, revealed why the ADA price is poised for more decline. The analyst pointed out that the altcoin is currently in its 3-wave corrective rally. Related Reading: Fantom Revival: Crypto Analyst Predicts A Jump To $1.2 For FTM Price Now, the Elliot Wave Theory which is being referred to by the crypto analyst consists of five waves. Out of the five, three are bullish and two are bearish. The bullish waves involve the 1, 3, and 5, with 2 and 4 being bearish waves. If the analyst is correct and the Cardano price has only completed three waves so far, that means the fourth wave, which is a bearish wave, is yet to be established. As a result, the crypto analyst believes that the Cardano price will further break down as it enters the fourth wave. He further pointed out that the altcoin’s price had fallen below the $0.48 support, which was an important level for it. This, coupled with the fact that it is yet to enter the fourth wave, has the analyst convinced that the price crash is far from over. As for where the ADA price might end up in this fourth wave, the crypto analyst believes it will go as low as $0.42 before recovering again. However, the good news is that once the fourth wave is completed, it gives way for the fifth wave to begin, which is the most bullish of all the waves and could see the ADA price barrel past $1. ADA Metrics Still Bullish Despite the bearish outlook presented by the crypto analyst, major Cardano metrics continue to show bullish divergence. For example, the daily trading volume of the altcoin has risen almost 17% in the last day to cross $286 million, data from CoinMarketCap shows. Related Reading: Why Did The Solana (SOL) Price Jump Today? This drastic rise in daily trading volume suggests a return of interest in the altcoin and this could quickly translate to a bullish trend, especially in the short term. Additionally, the fact that the price is on the rise at this time suggests that the majority of the transactions as a result of this renewed interest is from buyers rather than sellers. This suggests that the price will continue to rise if this demand is sustained. At the time of writing, ADA is still sitting firmly above $0.45, with a 1.78% increase in the last day.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed that it may still be an excellent time to accumulate Bitcoin. This comes amidst the flagship crypto’s recent price recovery, with the crypto token skyrocketing above $64,000. Bitcoin Is Still In A “Prime Buy Zone” Martinez mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Bitcoin’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) 90-day ratio indicates that it is still in a “prime buy zone” despite its recent price surge from $57,000 to $64,000. The MVRV is a metric used to determine whether a crypto token is undervalued or overvalued. Related Reading: Cardano Comeback: Analyst Reveals Why It’s Time To Get Back Into ADA Source: X Based on Martinez’s findings, Bitcoin looks to be currently undervalued, which presents a good opportunity to accumulate the crypto token. The analyst’s revelation undoubtedly provides reassurance for those who failed to buy the dip and are looking for a perfect entry to invest in Bitcoin. Interestingly, Bitcoin whales didn’t waste time accumulating during Bitcoin’s recent decline, as Bitcoinist reported that these investors bought 47,500 BTC ($2.8 billion) between May 2 and 3. However, the MVRV ratio being at that level suggests that many of these whales are investors adding to their positions, meaning that significant buying pressure shouldn’t be expected anytime soon. Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe also recently suggested that Bitcoin is still undervalued. He noted that the crypto token is back above $60,000, and retail isn’t here yet. He mentioned in another X post that these retail investors won’t return until the summer, which means that everyone currently positioning themselves is still early. BTC Almost Ready For Next Leg Up Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto recently hinted that Bitcoin is almost ready for another parabolic rally. He stated that Bitcoin’s local bottom is in considering that the “next liquidity grab interest is above.” He added that Bitcoin will first “clear out the $67,000 level and consolidate in preparation for the $73,000 level. Related Reading: Fantom Revival: Crypto Analyst Predicts A Jump To $1.2 For FTM Price Source: X Meanwhile, the analyst revealed in another X post that Bitcoin has “finally experienced a MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) bullish cross” on the daily chart, just like it did in January 2024, which led to the crypto token rising to as high as $73,000 in March. According to Mikybull Crypto, Bitcoin reclaiming above the 50-day Moving Average will “further confirm the bullish continuation.” For those looking to long Bitcoin, Mikybull Crypto remarked that the $64,000 range is an “ideal zone” to do so. He predicts that Bitcoin might clear out the CME gap between $62,580 and $64,105 before consolidating at around $64,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $65,300, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

An analyst has explained how, if the historical pattern followed by the ADA price is to be believed, Cardano seems ready to go on a parabolic bull run. Cardano May Be Set For A Bull Run Based On Historical Trends In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed what hints history may contain regarding where ADA’s price would go next from here. First, here is a chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend the cryptocurrency followed back in 2019: The pattern that the price of the asset followed a few years back | Source: @ali_charts on X From the graph, it’s visible that the asset had first consolidated inside a parallel channel during this period. A “parallel channel” in technical analysis (TA) refers to the region bounded by two parallel trend lines. Related Reading: Bitcoin Loses Historical Level, Analyst Says “Reclaim And Bounce, Or Die” The upper line of the pattern connects the tops in the price, while the lower one joins the bottoms. When consolidating inside the channel, the price is probable to find resistance at the upper end and support at the lower one. A break out of either of these lines can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction. As is visible in the chart, ADA managed to break out of this past parallel channel with a 75% surge. The asset then followed this rally up with a correction of around 56% before finally lifting off into a massive 4,095% bull run. Interestingly, just like in 2019, Cardano was stuck inside a similar parallel channel in 2023. The chart below shows this recent pattern for the cryptocurrency. Looks like the price of the asset recently broke out of its parallel channel | Source: @ali_charts on X As displayed in the graph, Cardano broke out of this latest parallel channel a while ago, this time with a rally of around 72%. Recently, though, the asset has lost this bullish momentum, as it has seen a drawdown of 50%. According to the analyst, however, this can, in fact, set the stage for a new bull run. History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes! If that is the case for Cardano, we should be positioning ourselves for what’s coming, understanding that the recent price correction might just be one of the last buy-the-dip opportunities ADA will give you. Related Reading: Bitcoin On Track For $1 Million Per BTC “Fair Value”, Analyst Says It now remains to be seen whether ADA will repeat the pattern from the last bull run or not. This is more about the long-term view, though, so where might the asset go in the short term? This may be answered by a signal that the analyst has shared in another X post. The TD Sequential signal that the ADA price has formed recently | Source: @ali_charts on X As Martinez explains: The TD Sequential, which timed the Cardano top, now presents a buy signal on the ADA daily chart. It anticipates a one to four daily candlesticks rebound that could put an end to the ADA corrective phase.

An analyst explained how Shiba Inu could be heading towards a massive rally based on a bull flag pattern that forms in its daily chart. Shiba Inu Has Been Consolidating Inside A Bull Flag Recently In a new post on X, analyst Ali has discussed about a bull flag that has recently appeared in the daily price of Shiba Inu. The bull flag is a pattern in technical analysis (TA) that, as its name suggests, is shaped like a flag on a pole. The pattern forms when an uptrend is followed by a period of consolidation inside a parallel channel toward the downward direction. The starting uptrend makes up for the pole, while the channel acts as the flag. Related Reading: Bitcoin Greed No More: Sentiment Back At Neutral After $57,000 Plunge Like other TA patterns, the consolidation channel or flag here comprises two parallel lines. The upper level connects the price tops, while the lower one joins the bottoms. When the asset retests either of these levels, it’s probable to undergo a reversal, with the upper line of the channel acting as a point of resistance and the lower one as support. A break above the resistance line is considered a bullish signal for the price. The uptrend resulting from such a break may be the same length as the flag’s pole. On the other hand, a drop below the flag (that is, a breakdown of support) invalidates the formation and may even suggest the takeover of bearish momentum for the asset. Similar to the bull flag, there is also the bear flag in TA, which works much in the same way, except that it occurs during a downtrend (with the flag signifying consolidation towards the upside following a downward pole). Now, here is the chart shared by Ali that shows the bull flag pattern Shiba Inu has potentially been forming on its daily price recently: The formation that the memecoin's price has been displaying during the last few weeks | Source: @ali_charts on X From the graph, it’s clear that the Shiba Inu 1-day price has been consolidating inside what appears to be a bull flag pattern channel in the past few weeks. “I’m placing buy orders around $0.000018343, aiming for a bullish breakout that sends $SHIB to $0.000072323,” says the analyst. The former level is about where SHIB should meet the flag’s support next if it continues in its current trajectory, while the latter target is based on the height of the pole. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $92,190: Crypto Analyst Reveals Path To ATH Target A run to the bullish target of $0.000072323 would imply a rally of more than 244% from the current spot price of the cryptocurrency, while from the lower support of $0.000018343, any such surge would correspond to a growth of over 294%. It remains to be seen whether Shiba Inu will show a break above this bull flag pattern and, if it does, whether the price will benefit from bullish effects. SHIB Price At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading around $0.00002110, down more than 18% over the past week.

Altcoins have suffered more in the crypto market following the Bitcoin price crash, leaving a lot of investors in losses. This is not out of the ordinary as these altcoins are known to have a higher volatility compared to Bitcoin, hence, their price swings can be more pronounced. Given the recent decline, the expectation is that the altcoins will recover. However, one analyst does not agree with that assessment. Altcoins Headed For 40% Crash In an analysis posted on X (formerly Twitter), seasoned crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen shocked the crypto community with his expectations for altcoins. According to the analysis, the worst is far from over for the altcoin market, as there are still more crashes to come. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Reveals Why $59,800 Is An Important Level For Bitcoin Cowen explained that this was analyzed using altcoins versus Bitcoin pairs, and it seems each one looks weak against the apex cryptocurrency. This is due to the expected rate cuts, and historical performance suggests that a decline will follow. The crypto analyst pointed to the 2019 rate cuts and how altcoins had reacted to that development back then. Following the rate cuts, altcoins plunged against Bitcoin, with major players recording up to 40% losses during this time. “Perhaps this time is not different? This would mean ALT/BTC pairs drop another 40% from here over the next few months,” Cowen said. Cowen expects this to place out regardless of what happens in the market in the meantime. He explains that even if the market does recover in the short term, it does not invalidate the thesis. “Short-term countertrends do not invalidate this view,” he stated. If this repeats, then it could turn an already harsh market trend even bloodier. The altcoin market cap has already fallen below $1 trillion as of the time of writing, but a 40% decline from here could send it as low as $600 billion. Bitcoin Crash Drags Down Crypto Market While the Bitcoin crash has been brutal, the impact on altcoins has been much more pronounced. Ethereum has held up nicely with less than a 4% decline during this time, but others such as Stacks (STX), Arweave (AR), Neo (NEO), and Sei (SEI) are down an average of 9% in the last 24 hours. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Prediction: Crypto Expert Says ETH Is Yet To Bottom Against Bitcoin Meme coins were also not left out of the bloodbath, with market leader Dogecoin dropping 6% to $0.126 and Pepe (PEPE) plunging 7.74% to $0.0000063. Bonk (BONK) recorded a 5% decline to eliminate some of its gains from last week, and Shiba Inu fell 4.18%. Amid all of this, though, there have been some market winners, with Optimism (OP) recording 12% gains. Cosmos (ATOM) followed with a 9.8% increase, and Starknet (STRK) rose 9%, making them the top gainers of the day, according to data from Coinmarketcap.

On Wednesday, Bitcoin sharply declined, dropping below the crucial $60,000 support level. Despite this recent market downtrend, Bitcoin investors remain confident as they believe the flagship crypto can still reach new heights in this market cycle. Some say this might be what Bitcoin needs before making another parabolic run to the upside. Bitcoin’s Decline Is Nothing To Be Scared Of Raoul Pal, the CEO of Real Vision, reassured in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Bitcoin’s recent price decline was not unusual, stating it was “pretty ordinary stuff.” He also pointed out that this was Bitcoin’s fourth 20% correction in the past 12 months, underscoring how normal these price movements are. Related Reading: Crypto Funds Mark 3rd Consecutive Weeks Of Outflows With $435 Million In Withdrawals Source: X Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, had previously warned that price declines of such magnitude were to be expected, stating that “bull markets are not straight lines up.” He noted that the same thing happened in the 2021 and 2017 bull runs when Bitcoin experienced about 13 price drawdowns of over 10% or more. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Rekt Capital claimed in an X post that “this is exactly what the cycle needs to resynchronize with historical price norms and the traditional Halving Cycle.” He added, “The longer this goes on, the better.” In another X post, he reassured his followers that Bitcoin is getting closer to its final bottom with each passing day. Like Rekt Capital, crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto also sounded confident that Bitcoin’s recent decline was just a part of the bigger picture for its move to the upside. They claimed this would be the “final shakeout before up, only rally to a cycle top.” Thomas Fahrer, the CEO of Apollo, also shared his bullish sentiment towards Bitcoin, as he suggested that the crypto token’s volatility is what makes it a great investment. “Price might fall to $40K, but it might rise to $400K. That’s just how it is, and it’s a great bet. Bitcoin is still the best asymmetric opportunity in the market,” he wrote on X. Bitcoin Bull Run Is Far From Over Crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that Bitcoin’s bull run was far from over while comparing Bitcoin’s current price action to the last two halving events. According to him, Bitcoin consolidated for 189 and 87 days around the halving in 2016 and 2020, respectively, before the bull run resumed. Source: X He further noted that Bitcoin has only consolidated for 60 days this time around, meaning that the flagship crypto will continue its run eventually. In a subsequent X post, the analyst stated that Bitcoin might be 538 days away from hitting its next market top if it follows its trend from the previous two bull runs. Related Reading: Ethereum Flashes Bullish Signals, Can It Rally 50% From Here? Before now, Martinez mentioned that Bitcoin could rise to a new all-time high (ATH) of $92,190 if it breaches the resistance level of $69,150.

A crypto analyst has predicted when Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, will bottom against Bitcoin, however, under certain conditions. Analyst Predicts ETH/BTC Bottom Timeline In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, crypto analyst and founder of ITC Crypto, Benjamin Cowen, shared his forecast regarding the Ethereum to Bitcoin price ratio, projecting the timeline for when ETH/BTC would hit its lowest value in the current market cycle. Sharing insights on the market conditions, Cowen noted striking similarities between the present market’s dynamics and the one seen in 2019. He disclosed that ETH/BTC’s recent bounce mirrored the market’s behavior in 2019, two months before the Federal Reserve (FED) cut down rates. Cowen predicts that the ETH/BTC ratio will reach the lowest point in its price cycle when the FED makes a significant change in its monetary policy, often referred to as a “pivot.” The crypto expert expects this pivot to occur in a few months, ultimately suggesting that Ethereum would bottom against Bitcoin in the coming months. His analysis is also based on the assumption that macroeconomic conditions and the FED’s monetary policies can significantly impact the cryptocurrency market. Sharing a price chart of Ethereum against Bitcoin in another post, Cowen projected that the ETH/BTC ratio will head towards a range of 0.03 and 0.04 by summer. Commenting on his prediction of ETH/BTC’s bottom, a crypto community member expressed skepticism about the FED’s likelihood of cutting down rates while inflation was still high. Cowen responded that the absence of a rate cut further reinforced his beliefs that the ETH/BTC ratio has not yet reached its lowest point. He suggests that unless inflationary pressures are addressed, the ETH/BTC ratio may continue on its downward trend. Crypto Expert Calls Ethereum A Higher Risk Asset In another post, Cowen referred to Ethereum as a higher-risk asset and Bitcoin as a lower-risk asset. The crypto analyst’s forecast on Ethereum against Bitcoin is underpinned by his interpretation of capital migration dynamics, suggesting that higher-risk assets typically depreciate relative to lower-risk assets. He highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the future market movements of ETH/BTC following the halving event. Cowen predicted that if ETH/BTC witnesses a “relief rebound” after the halving, then he expects a rejection by the bull market support band, particularly in the context of weekly closing prices, estimated to range between $0.053 to $0.054. While acknowledging his past successes in predicting ETH/BTC price movements, Cowen highlighted that his predictions remain speculative, stating, “Just because I have been right so far about ETH/BTC does not mean I will continue being right.” ETH bulls fail to hold $3,000 | Source: ETHUSDT on Tradingview.com Featured image from Finbold, chart from Tradingview.com
An analyst has explained what path Bitcoin might need to follow to surge to a new all-time high (ATH) target of $92,190. Bitcoin Needs To Breach This Resistance Barrier To Rise To New ATH In a new thread on X, analyst Ali discussed whether the BTC price has hit the top. The one signal the analyst has pointed out that may point towards the top has been the massive scale of profit-taking that the market has seen recently. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dominance: Traders Preferring The OG To Dogecoin & Other Altcoins Ali is waiting for another confirmation before the top can be confirmed. In the scenario that the top gets validated, these are the targets the analyst has marked based on on-chain data. The distribution of UTXOs across the various price levels | Source: @ali_charts on X The above chart shows the Bitcoin UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) data from Glassnode, which tells us how many coins were last bought at what price levels. Generally, the cost basis is an important level for any investor, so they are likely to show some reaction when a retest of it happens. This reaction is the largest when many investors share their cost basis around the same level. When this retest happens from above, the holders may respond by buying more, as they could see the drop as a dip opportunity. As such, large cost basis zones below the current price can prove to be centers of support. “If the market top is confirmed, BTC could drop toward $51,530 or even $42,700!” notes Ali, given that these two levels are the next major support lines for the coin. The analyst says, however, that if BTC can instead break the $66,250 level, which is a source of major resistance right now since these loss holders may be desperate to exit at their break-even, then this bearish outlook could become invalidated. An on-chain pricing model could provide some hints about what might happen when such a break occurs. The trend in the MVRV Pricing Bands for BTC over the past few years | Source: @ali_charts on X The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Pricing Bands is a model that, in short, tells us about where the different multipliers of the average cost basis of the entire market currently lie. The chart shows that the market cost basis is currently at $28,800. Historically, three multipliers of this metric have been relevant for the asset: 0.8x, 2.4x, and 3.2x. The 0.8x level is where bottoms occur, while the 3.2x line is a probable spot for tops to form. Bull rallies in proper have occurred after a breach of the 2.4x level. At present, the 2.4x level lies at $69,150. “By rising above $66,250, Bitcoin will gain the strength to push towards $69,150. And if this resistance barrier is breached, BTC can advance toward a new all-time high of $92,190,” explains Ali. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Metric Foreshadowed Recent Price Drops, Quant Reveals This ATH target is based on the fact that the 3.2x level is equivalent to $92,190 at the moment.

Crypto analyst DonAlt has outlined a scenario where the Bitcoin price could drop to as low as the mid-$40,000. He further suggests that this price breakdown might be necessary for the continuation of BTC’s bull run. How Bitcoin Could Drop To As Low As $47,000 In an update to his Bitcoin analysis, DonAlt noted that Bitcoin had dropped back to around the $60,000 price range and could eventually break that support if it continues to be tested. From the accompanying chart he shared, the crypto analyst hinted that a price breakout below the $60,000 range would see Bitcoin drop to $52,000 or even further down to $47,000. Related Reading: XRP Price Prediction: Analyst Says Prepare For 700% Jump To $4, Here’s When Source: X Meanwhile, he added that this might be something even the bulls want, so there could be a washout below $60,000, which would shake off weak hands. DonAlt also seems to support a price breakout below the support area, as he shared his belief that there is currently complacency in the market. This is when crypto investors ignore the risks associated with Bitcoin, having seen price increases for an extended period. DonAlt said he would continue to hold this complacency belief until proven otherwise. For that to happen, he remarked that Bitcoin would need to reclaim $68,000 or drop below $60,000 and reclaim that support level again. Denis Baca, Head of Product at Zivoe Finance, also recently suggested that BTC could drop below $60,000 before it makes any parabolic move. This was a huge possibility, especially since Baca noted that the flagship crypto historically retests the support level of the 20-week SMA (small moving average) in May. He claimed this could cause Bitcoin to drop to $56,000. BTC Bulls Are Getting Overwhelmed By The Bears Bitcoin bulls look to be succumbing to the pressure from the bears. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed in an X post that there has been a “noticeable dip in Bitcoin whale activity” since March 14. This suggests the current market downtrend could be diminishing their confidence, as these whales are always known to accumulate more during every price dip. Martinez added that a “surge in whale transactions could be the spark needed to boost” BTC’S price. Related Reading: Brace For Price Impact: Dogecoin Whales Move Massive 456 Million DOGE To Exchanges Meanwhile, CryptoQuant’s Head of Research, Julio Moreno, recently noted that Bitcoin’s price has remained tepid due to the slowdown in demand. He alluded to the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen their demand decline this month. Like Martinez mentioned, Moreno stated that there needs to be a “demand growth” for Bitcoin to experience another rally. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $62,300, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Despite BTC’s recent unimpressive price action, crypto analyst Doctor Profit has shared his bullish sentiment for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. The analyst further suggested that a parabolic move was imminent and that crypto investors should position themselves accordingly. Crypto Market Preparing For A “Third Industrial Revolution” Doctor Profit mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that the crypto market “is preparing itself for the third Industrial Revolution,” thereby hinting at a trend reversal for Bitcoin and altcoins soon enough. “Be part of it, or regret for [a] lifetime,” the crypto analyst added as he warned crypto investors of missing this market rally. Related Reading: HBAR Prices Crashes 35% As BlackRock Denies Any Ties To Hedera In a previous X post, Doctor Profit gave an idea of what to expect from the crypto market (Bitcoin in particular) when it makes its next leg up. He stated that the flagship crypto will rise to $84,000 after it is done trading the sideway range between $60,000 and $72,000. In another X post, he claimed that the super cycle will start after Bitcoin hits $72,000. Meanwhile, Doctor Profit suggested that the price corrections experienced were normal and usually occur in each crypto cycle. He further remarked that the 10 to 20% price fluctuations weren’t big moves. His statement echoes the sentiment of Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, who previously warned that bull markets weren’t “straight lines up.” Bitcoin Is In The Re-Accumulation Period In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, crypto analyst Rekt Capital confirmed that Bitcoin is currently in the Re-Accumulation phase, which occurs after the Bitcoin Halving. He further noted that the goal now “is for Bitcoin to move sideways to catch a breather, for the market to cool off after [a] fantastic Pre-Halving price performance. Related Reading: Why Is The Dogecoin Price Down Today? According to Rekt Capital, this Re-Accumulation period can last for multiple weeks “and even up to 150 days.” The analyst revealed that once this period is over, Bitcoin will experience a breakout from this sideways range, followed by a parabolic uptrend. This uptrend phase is said to last for over a year. However, with the probability of this being an accelerated market cycle, Rekt Capital remarked that the duration for this uptrend could be cut in half. Crypto analysts like Tom Dunleavy, Partner and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at MV Capital, predict that the flagship crypto will rise as high as $100,000 when that time comes. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $64,360, up in the last 24 hours according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Cardano suffered a massive price crash over the last two weeks. However, with the market recovery, the ADA price has begun to see some positive headwinds. Analysts expect this recovery to continue, with one crypto analyst in particular, who goes by CobraVanguard, expecting a bullish continuation toward $1. Cardano Completes The ABC Wave The crypto market crash, led by Bitcoin, saw the prices of Cardano and other altcoins plunge into a dreaded ABC wave. This wave is notorious for causing massive dips to the tune of 50%, leaving investors in losses in its wake. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters Accumulation Phase As $500 Million ETH Leave Exchanges The crypto analyst revealed that Wave A had taken place when Cardano had fallen from $0.8 to $0.57, and then Wave B saw the recovery from $0.57 to $0.68. The third and final wave, Wave C, saw the price crash from $0.77 to $0.4 before bouncing upward once again, signaling the completion of the ABC wave. As with all other crashes, there comes a time when the ABC wave is over, and the price of an altcoin can recover, and it seems Cardano has entered this range. The price of the altcoin has since recovered above $0.5, with the bulls now taking control. From here, the analyst expects the recovery to continue and rally with a new wave. “After the fifth bullish wave, Cardano has completed his corrective waves (ABC) and now he has reached the end of the wedge, now it is time to start the five bullish waves,” CobraVanguard said. Source: Tradingview.com ADA Price Targets CobraVanguard outlines a number of reasons why they believe that the Cardano price is going to be bullish. Firstly, they outline an ascending structure of the chart, which suggests a bullish continuation. Next is the bullish wedge that is forming in the chart. Also, high-potential areas are becoming clearer in the chart, as the analyst outlined. Related Reading: Battle For The Halving Block: Bitcoin Users Spend Record $2.4 Million On Block 840,000 In the first wave, the analyst outlines a possible jump to $0.77. From here, they expect that the price will retrace a bit to $0.64 before resuming the uptrend. However, the analyst takes a more conservative stance compared to other analysts about the top, putting it somewhere around $1.09. The analyst further pointed out that in a situation where the wedge were to break down, it could invalidate this, and possibility lead to a decline in price. “Note that if the WEDGE is broken down with the power of descending candles, our analysis will fail,” CobraVanguard concluded.

MATIC, the native token of the Polygon network, has had perhaps one of the most disappointing runs of the top cryptocurrencies in the last year.

Dogecoin and XRP have seen varying performances over the last few weeks, going from bullish to bearish. As the market progresses into the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving event, crypto analysts have begun to give their predictions for where the market is headed for the next year in the expected bull market. This time around, it […]
Many investors expressed worries about the crypto market corrections during this cycle. Bitcoin’s price drop has dragged altcoins with them, and, as a result, a more pessimistic sentiment has started to brew among some sectors of the crypto community. Analysts and traders have reassured investors that the market fluctuations are a normal part of the journey. Some urge the community to look at the bigger picture, as altcoins remain above levels not seen in years. Related Reading: Traders Forecast Massive Rally For Altcoins, But Why Is Sentiment “Down”? Renowned crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa weighed in on the matter, exploring some of the reasons and differences that make this bull cycle different from the 2020s. Time For An Altcoins Cool-Off? In an X post, Altcoin Sherpa asserted that there’s a high possibility “that altcoins are done for the next 1-4 months.” The analyst considers that, right now, most of the market needs “time to chill out and consolidate after such a big run.” Despite recently falling below the $1 trillion market capitalization, altcoins have performed remarkably in the last few months. In 2024, cryptocurrencies’ market cap, excluding Bitcoin’s, has increased by 22.79%, according to TradingView data. Altcoins market cap has also considerably surged in longer timeframes, with a 91.31% and 52.46% jump in the last six months and the past year. This “big run,” as Sherpa called it, sits the cryptocurrency market at levels like those seen in 2022. However, what worries the crypto analyst is, despite the overall performance, “many alts didn’t even run that hard over the last few months.” He illustrated his point with Chainlink’s native token, LINK. Despite the +500 days of accumulation, LINK investors only got 3-4x gains depending on when they go in. Now, the token’s price is “strongly pulling back.” Expectations for altcoins during this cycle seemingly play a significant role in the current sentiment. As one X user pointed out, LINK was anticipated to be one of the biggest winners of this cycle, Sherpa replied that he “expected more lol.” The user playfully commented, “No dino coins and new and shiny coins are the better bet.” How Did The Market Change? The previous comment highlights what appears to be a significant difference between this bull run and the 2020s. Choosing your bag has become more difficult since the market has expanded significantly. Sherpa considers that “now more than ever, it is super important to choose the altcoins that are going to run hard.” In 2020, the massive altseason made “everything go up consecutively.” This time, the liquidity is more fragmented, and “only a few sectors are pumping.” The AI and memes sectors have been the hottest topic in 2024, and layer-1 (L1) tokens, like SEI, have also performed well. “Everything else? Not great,” remarked Sherpa. The massive number of tokens, both newly launched and old ones, are finding it more difficult to “capture mindshare/attention.” Regarding retail investors, the analyst is not surprised that the default choice is memecoins instead of “trying to learn about some DeFi veRewards type of stuff. Or Oracle or L1s or modular or anything else.” The analyst suggested investors “move to real value” like ETH and SOL. He also considers that big token launches, with significant money behind them, “have some real value.” These coins, as stated in the post, have the potential to “do very well” once Bitcoin stabilizes. Sherpa’s market analysis closes with a “pretty bearish” outlook for the following months. The growing difficulty in keeping user attention and “for people to become strong users/community members” for many projects has made the market a different playground. Ultimately, the analyst pointed out that “portfolio rebalances are necessary” and said he still believes this run is not over.

Technical analysis shows that Dogecoin (DOGE) may be set for an upside move after dropping to a major support level. This and other imminent bullish developments in the meme coin’s ecosystem suggest it may be the right time to invest in the crypto token. Time To Go Long On Dogecoin? Crypto analyst BitLuxe revealed in […]
A crypto analyst known as Yomi has noted that the Dogecoin recent price action could turn bullish after this week. According to Yomi, DOGE is on the verge of creating a golden cross on its price chart, an event that could indicate the continuation of a major bull run. He noted the need for a green candle this week in order to start a new rally, which could be tough considering recent on-chain metrics and market fundamentals. Dogecoin Flashing Weekly Golden Cross The weekly chart for Dogecoin is flashing a golden cross, a bullish signal that occurs when the 50-week moving average crosses above the 200-week moving average. According to a weekly price chart shared by Yomi, this weekly cross looked almost completed just two weeks ago, as a price surge for DOGE in the past two months saw the short-term moving average approaching the longer one. Related Reading: Will The Halving Send Bitcoin Price To $100,000? Analytics Platform Reveals What You Should Expect However, trader sentiment around DOGE has turned bearish since the beginning of April as the bulls struggled to push the crypto past the $0.22 mark, allowing it to form a price resistance level. Consequently, DOGE has gone on to form two weeks of bearish candles, which has derailed the completion of a golden cross. Update on #Dogecoin pending weekly Golden Cross. We are still multiple weeks of upward price action away from achieving this bull market milestone. 2 red weeks in a row have cause us to deviate slightly also. Need green soon to get back on track! #DOGE #Altcoins pic.twitter.com/QfdFSR24Uc — Yomi (@OG_Yomi) April 15, 2024 Yomi observed that the formation of this bullish indicator has been pushed forward to multiple weeks of upward price movement. Furthermore, Yomi said all that’s needed is for DOGE to close higher than its open price this week and form a green candle to confirm the breakout and get back on track to a golden cross. DOGE To Turn Bullish? Dogecoin dropped by an astounding margin last week to spearhead the crash in the majority of meme coins. Interestingly, the crypto fell to as low as $0.13 in the middle of the week, representing a 33% decline from its opening price at the start of the week. During the price fall, crypto whale transaction tracker Whale Alerts noted the transfer of 600 million DOGE tokens worth $92.3 million from a private wallet into Binance, hinting at a potential sell-off from a DOGE whale. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETF Issuers Push Holdings To 4.27% Of BTC Supply Amid Crash To $61,000 However, all is not lost as Dogecoin price action has been showing green in the past day. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1669, up by 5% in the past 24 hours. If DOGE can close substantially above its weekly open of $0.1624, that would confirm the continuation of the journey to a golden cross and likely kick off a new uptrend. Yomi noted in another post on social media that Doge will continue to tease a bullish price action in the longer term as long as it stays above $0.12 this week.

Dogecoin has been one of the best performers over the past year, consistently holding up gains even through market dumps. However, after the meme coin’s rally in March and then the subsequent dump in April, it looks like investors, especially whales, are finally getting ready to start taking profit. This is evidenced by a number of large DOGE transactions that were flagged going into exchanges over the last day. Dogecoin Whales Move 800 Million DOGE To Exchanges The movement of coins to centralized exchanges can be very bearish for the price of a cryptocurrency. This is because the move to centralized exchanges often points to a selling spree as investors look to take advantage of the deep liquidity that is provided by these exchange platforms. This reason is why the massive amounts of DOGE tokens being sent to centralized exchanges are concerning for the community. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETF Issuers Push Holdings To 4.27% Of BTC Supply Amid Crash To $61,000 Over the course of the last day, the on-chain whale tracking platform Whale Alert reported a number of large DOGE transactions that carried tokens to centralized exchanges. The largest of these transactions happened on April 14, when a single transaction was carrying 600 DOGE tokens to the Binance exchange. At the time of the transaction, the total stash of tokens being transferred was worth around $92.3 million. However, with the DOGE price increasing since then, the value of the tokens contained in this transaction could be closer to $95 million at the time of this writing. Hours later, after the first transaction, two other transactions followed, also carrying notable amounts of DOGE tokens. The second transaction, which carried 100 million DOGE tokens worth $15.28 million, headed for the Robinhood exchange. The third transaction of the trio was also headed to the Robinhood exchange, carrying 99.25 million tokens worth $16.15 million. In total, approximately 800 million DOGE tokens to centralized exchanges, signaling a potential sell-off on the horizon. Can DOGE Surge From Here? Despite the bearish pressure that seems to categorize Dogecoin lately, the longer-term outlook for the meme coin has remained bullish, especially among crypto analysts. Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade has continued to maintain a bullish stance on the meme coin, which he believes could pull a significant rally soon. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Go On Buying Spree As Market Crash Leaves Retail Panicking Tardigrade’s latest analysis of Dogecoin saw a bullish formation on the chart, which could lead to a 100% rally. The move, which the analyst expects to happen sometime in April following the Bitcoin Halving, is expected to see the DOGE price rise as high as $0.4 in the short term. However, first, the meme coin’s price would have to break above $0.205, which has developed into significant resistance for the altcoin. But, as the crypto analyst explains, a break above this level would confirm the bullish breakout. For now, Dogecoin is still struggling to break through this $0.205 resistance and has since been rejected from this level. It is currently sitting at $0.165, with a 5.51% increase on the last day and a 20% decrease on the last week, according to data from Coinmarketcap.

Arthur Hayes, the founder of the crypto exchange BitMEX, recently made a move on an altcoin he had held since 2022. This move saw the transfer of over 230,000 GMX tokens to Wintermute Trading, seemingly making a profit of $3.2 million. Related Reading: XRP Price Drops After Massive Whale Dump, Casting Doubt On $1 Target In April Altcoin Dropped By Its Largest Personal Holder Blockchain research platform Lookonchain revealed that Arthur Hayes seemingly sold his GMX holdings yesterday. Hayes was the largest holder of GMX, the native token of decentralized perpetual exchange GMX. Throughout 2022, the BitMEX founder spent a total of 3,383 ETH, worth $5.17 million, to buy 200,581 GMX tokens. In 2023, Hayes spent another 60 ETH to buy 2,328 GMX, around $105,000. From July to December 2023, Hayes withdrew 215,428 GMX tokens from centralized exchanges (CEX). By the end of 2023, he had bought 218,337 GMX for $6.5 million from CEX and decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap. As of April 7, 2024, Hayes had GMX holdings worth $9.7 million, per Lookonchain data. The post revealed that Hayes had unstaked all 237,672 tokens and transferred them to an address linked to crypto algorithmic trading firm Wintermute Trading. The transaction sparked rumors of a possible token sale by the former CEO of BitMEX. According to the report, the average cost of buying through Haye’s accumulation phase is around $29.74. After selling, Hayes’s profits would total over $3.2 million. GMX investors reacted to the news, suggesting that “nothing changed” and the altcoin was “in that buy zone again.” Did Arthur Hayes Accept Capitulation? Crypto analyst and trader JJcycles suggested that the transaction looked like “Hayes capitulation.” Later, the trader speculated why the GMX price didn’t “tank hard” after one of its largest personal holders sold his tokens. To the analyst, the incident looked “like the price of ETH during the FTX debacle.” Based on his perception, the trader decided to buy more GMX tokens. One of the largest holders of GMX send his bags to a market maker. Speculation goes that he is selling which is the most logical conclusion to make. My question, why is price not tanking hard? Feels a bit like the price of ETH during the FTX debacle.I'm buying more.$GMX pic.twitter.com/jZi91vIghT — JJcycles (@JJcycles) April 8, 2024 In a later post, the analyst clarified what he meant with his previous statement. According to him, GMX’s capitulation looks like ETH’s capitulation in 2023. As reported by NewsBTC, the number of Ethereum traders selling at a loss increased around August 2023. ETH’s price bounced back from the capitulation and has continued an upward trajectory ever since. Per the analyst charts, GMX appears to be showing an ascending triangle pattern at writing time, like the one made by ETH during its capitulation. To the trader, this suggests GMX could begin an upward trajectory like ETH. GMX Price Reaction The GMX token displays red numbers in most timeframes, as it’s currently 55.5% lower than its all-time high (ATH) of $91.07. The token registers a 7.9%, 28.9%, and 48.9% price drop on the weekly, monthly, and yearly timeframes. After the news of Hayes’ transaction broke, the price went from hovering between the $40.8-$40.7 price range to $37.1, plunging 9% in just an hour. Nonetheless, the altcoin quickly started to recover from the initial dip. At the time of writing, GMX is trading at $40.47, a 1% drop from 24 hours ago. Notably, the token’s market activity skyrocketed 467.6% in the last day, with a daily trading volume of $54.77 million. Related Reading: Sleeping Giant Awakens!

Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto has laid out a bullish narrative for Ethereum (ETH) and XRP. He claimed that both tokens could rise to as high as $20,000 and $20, respectively. Additionally, he stipulated when this parabolic price surge is likely to happen. Ethereum Could Hit A Market Top Near $20,000 CrediBULL Crypto mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that there is a chance that Ethereum could hit a market peak near $20,000. He further explained that ETH could attain this price level based on his belief that BTC can “realistically” see a 2x in this market cycle from its last high of $69,000 in the 2021 bull run. As such, altcoins like ETH will do “multiples of that.” Related Reading: Fantom Supply On Exchanges See Drastic Increase, A Cause For Alarm? Specifically, he foresees ETH doing a 3x to 4x of its prior all-time high (ATH) of $4,800, which puts the second largest crypto token by market cap in a price range between $15,000 and $20,000. Meanwhile, CrediBULL asserted that Ethereum will surely rise to $10,000 at the minimum. Following CrediBULL’s prediction, another X user questioned how possible it was for ETH to rise to a market cap of $2 trillion, stating that it seems “crazy.” However, the crypto analyst responded that ETH rising to such levels is a “blow off top, ” so the market cap will look “outrageous.” He jokingly added that there is a problem if the market caps don’t look outrageous. XRP Is Another Altcoin That Could Experience Exponential Growth In a different X post, CrediBULL also made a case for XRP, stating that XRP could also rise between $10 and $12 if ETH were to hit $10,000. He suggested that XRP wasn’t to be underrated despite its current underperformance, noting that XRP actually flipped ETH in terms of market cap at some point in the last cycle. Related Reading: Crypto Expert Releases List Of Top 10 Altcoins To Buy For Maximum Profit In The Bull Market Therefore, the crypto analyst added that anyone who thinks ETH hitting $10,000 is “realistic” should also believe that XRP rising to $10 is possible. In a subsequent X post, CrediBULL claimed that XRP could even rise to as high as $20 based on ETH hitting $10,000 at its current circulating supply. Again, he noted that XRP is very capable of attaining such price levels, seeing as it is a top 10 coin, which means that the market demand for it is evidently there. CrediBULL’s sentiment echoes that of Nick, the founder of Web3Alert, who previously predicted that XRP could rise to $10 since there were predictions that Bitcoin and Ethereum would rise to as high as $150,000 and $10,000, respectively. At the time of writing, ETH and XRP are trading at around $3,290 and $0.58, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Amid a recent downturn in the broader crypto market, the concept of “buying the dip” has once again surfaced, tempting traders and investors with the prospect of snagging assets at lower prices. However, caution is the watchword from Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research, a top analyst in the crypto space. Thielen’s latest advisories suggest that the current market conditions may not yet be ripe for the optimistic strategy of dip purchasing. Related Reading: High-Stakes Week For Bitcoin And Ethereum As Central Bank Decisions Approach: Key Predictions The Basis Of Bearish Sentiment Thielen’s recent analysis, released earlier today, underscores a bearish outlook on flagship cryptocurrencies Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), advising that it may be premature to buy the dip. This guidance is rooted in a comprehensive approach to market analysis, combining analog models, data-driven predictive models, and objective analysis. At the heart of Thielen’s cautionary stance is a detailed report outlining the factors contributing to the firm, 10x Research’ bearish outlook on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Despite a seemingly attractive price point for these cryptocurrencies, Thielen believes the market has not yet bottomed out, suggesting further declines before any significant rally. The report pinpoints $63,000 and $60,000 as critical support levels for Bitcoin. A breach below $60,000, Thielen warns, could precipitate a fall into the $52,000-$54,000 range. Yet, despite these short-term bearish indicators, Thielen remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s potential, envisioning a climb to heights of over $100,000 within the year. Thielen noted: Buying this dip is still too early. Technically, we still expect Bitcoin to trade below 60,000 before a more meaningful rally attempt is started. Based on the previous new high signals, we could paint a rosy picture of 83,000 and 102,000 upside targets, but for the time being, we are more focused on managing the downside. The Crypto Market’s Critical Juncture The current state of the crypto market reflects a tense anticipation of the upcoming central bank announcements from the US Federal Reserve. This decision is expected to significantly influence monetary policy and, by extension, the cryptocurrency market. Particularly, insights from crypto futures exchange Blofin suggest that the outcome of this announcement could sway market sentiment substantially. Meanwhile, the market reacts in real-time, with Bitcoin slightly increasing 2.4% in the past 24 hours but still showing a notable decline over the past week. Adding to the complexity of the market dynamics are observations from Alex Krüger, a respected figure in macroeconomics and cryptoanalysis. Related Reading: Bitcoin Might Be Poised For A ‘Double Pump Cycle,’ Reveals Analyst – Here’s Why Krüger attributes the recent price collapse to several factors, including market over-leverage, the negative sentiment ripple from Ethereum, and speculative fervor around certain altcoins.
