Crypto analyst Minga has predicted that the Bitcoin price could rally past $120,000 to a new all-time high (ATH) of $190,000 in the next bull cycle. The analyst also indicated that now is a good time to buy as BTC approaches a bottom. Analyst Gives Buy Signal as Bitcoin Price Approaches Bottom In an X post, Minga said that the Bitcoin price is approaching a macro bottom and that this is the phase of the cycle where every dip becomes an opportunity to buy and accumulate long-term holdings. The analyst opined that BTC may tap the $58,900 to $54,500 region at a minimum this cycle, and that this area has been a point of interest (POI) for spot buying. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Bleed Is Almost Over, But Will Price Reach $40,000 Before Bouncing? Minga revealed that he still expects a potential move down to $37,000 for the Bitcoin price in a max-pain scenario. However, he noted that the idea behind spot buying is not to go all in at once, but to build positions gradually over time. The analyst had also described a potential drop to $37,000 as a generational bottom, signaling that this is an area to go all in in preparation for the next bull cycle. Meanwhile, the analyst stated that he will be looking at $194,742 as a potential area to start taking profits and offload a significant portion of his spot holdings. A potential rally to $194,742 would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the Bitcoin price, surpassing its current ATH of $126,000. Minga also noted that the plans to take profits at this level are just a plan and that his final decision will be based on how the Bitcoin price behaves when it reaches those levels. The Strategic Buy Zone For BTC In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed two primary accumulation zones based on historical 40%-50% resets in past bear markets that occur after the crossover between the 50 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). The first target is $40,000, representing a standard 30% reset from current levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price At $59,000 Is The Line In The Sand, Here’s What You Should Know The second accumulation target is $30,000, representing a 50% decline from current Bitcoin price levels. Martinez stated that this setup has historically aligned with the last major downside before a generational macro bottom forms. The analyst noted that BTC has already seen a 52% correction and is currently 30 days into the 3-day SMA cross. As such, he remarked that if history rhymes, then BTC is likely entering the final accumulation window of this cycle within the next three to six days. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $66,400, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price reaching $20 may take several years, according to a market pundit who recently outlined a long-range roadmap for the digital asset. His projection places the milestone near the end of the decade while suggesting the current market phase could still present opportunities before the next major expansion begins. XRP Price Path To $20 By 2030 Outlined In Multi-Year Forecast Crypto analyst ChartNerd recently argued that a $20 target for XRP by 2030 closely aligns with his broader outlook for the asset. In a post shared on March 28, he explained that while the market may still be navigating a bearish stretch, the period leading into 2026 could represent an accumulation phase before a stronger multi-year rally unfolds. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Bottom: Pundit Reveals The 5 Phases To Know When The Bleed Has Ended His projection outlines a gradual climb toward the $20 milestone within the decade. According to the model, XRP could trade between $2.65 and $4.87 in 2025, with an average estimate of $3.16. The following year marks the first significant step higher. For 2026, the forecast places the asset within a range of $4.94 to $6.18, with an average price of $5.53. The analyst suggested this period could provide market participants with an opportunity before a larger upward move begins. Momentum is projected to build further in the years that follow. By 2027, XRP is expected to reach between $6.23 and $8.71, averaging roughly $7.16. The following year could push the asset into consistent double-digit territory, with projections for 2028 ranging from $8.78 to $12.84. The trajectory accelerates closer to the end of the decade. For 2029, the forecast places XRP between $13.06 and $16.76, suggesting the asset may approach the final stage before reaching the long-discussed $20 mark. The key year in the model is 2030. At that point, projections place the minimum value near $16.86, the average at $18.34, and the upper range slightly above $20 at $20.03. This timeline forms the basis for the analyst’s view that the $20 level is achievable but most likely several years away. The long-term outlook extends even further. Projections indicate XRP could climb to an average of $38.16 by 2035, around $63.86 by 2040, and potentially exceed $115 on average by 2050 if adoption and market expansion continue over multiple cycles. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sell-Offs Are Ramping Up As Price Struggles, But Where Is All That BTC Going To? Pundit’s Earlier Commentary Reinforces Long-Term Targets The analyst had earlier shared a chart suggesting the XRP price could reach about $27 by 2030. The chart uses a time-based Fibonacci model comparing XRP’s previous cycle with the current one. During the 2014–2018 cycle, the asset moved through several Fibonacci extension levels before completing its major rally. Applying the same structure to the current market cycle highlights possible targets near $8 and $13, with a higher extension around $27. The chart and the analyst’s recent projections indicate that reaching $20 may take several years, while the broader cycle could potentially extend even higher if the pattern continues to play out.
