Crypto analyst Doctor Profit, who called the Bitcoin top, has predicted that BTC could still rally to $200,000, marking a new all-time high (ATH) for the leading crypto. However, the analyst suggested now isn’t a good time to buy as BTC is still likely to drop lower. Bitcoin Still Going To Rally To $200,000 But Will Drop Lower First In an X post, Doctor Profit indicated that Bitcoin would rally to $200,000, but that now is not a good time to buy, as BTC is likely to drop further, presenting a better buying opportunity. He explained that someone who buys at the current price would get fewer coins than someone who waits for BTC to drop to around $40,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $80,000: How The February Bullish Trend Can Push It 20% Higher The analyst criticized those who might argue that buying today is the same as buying at any other time, since there is an expectation that Bitcoin will still rally to $200,000. He described this as “absolutely dangerous thinking.” Doctor Profit suggested that the focus should be on maximizing profit, since someone who buys at a lower price will make more money than someone using a DCA strategy. Also, Doctor Profit suggested that there is no point in timing the bottom and that it was better to set buy orders within a range. He stated that his buy orders will most likely be between $40,000 and $50,000. The analyst added that it is not a good decision to set buy orders above $60,000 or even close to $70,000. He recently reiterated that Bitcoin was still in a bear market, though he noted there could be a short-term relief rally to above $80,000. The Signal Says It’s Not Yet Time To Buy BTC Crypto analyst CrypFlow pointed to the 2-month Stochastic RSI bullish cross, noting that it has consistently marked the best buying opportunities in every cycle. He noted that the pattern isn’t there yet and hasn’t made the cross, signaling that it is not yet time to buy Bitcoin. Typically, the momentum resets below 20, sentiment turns negative, and then the bullish cross confirms the shift. This cross is said to have marked the start of the bull run in the 2015, 2019, and 2023 cycles. At the moment, the stochastic RSI is resetting again, and the setup is building, but the signal hasn’t triggered. The analyst added that he isn’t trying to time the bottom but that he will build exposure slowly and add more on weakness. However, the real confirmation comes with this bullish cross.

Amid the ongoing bear market, crypto analyst Darkfost reports that trading activity among Bitcoin retail investors has reached a new low, suggesting a notable decline in participation. However, broader on-chain data provides deeper context to this trend, pointing to a mix of both constructive and concerning underlying drivers. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sharks & Whales Capitulate: Realized Loss Exceeds $200M Decoding Puzzling Moves By Bitcoin Retail Traders In an X post on April 3, Darkfost shares that Bitcoin retail activity has established a record low, i.e, transactions of less than 1 BTC have reduced significantly. This analysis is based on data from Binance, which is the largest exchange by trading volume and the most patronized trading platform by retail market participants, also known as shrimps. As of the time of the report, Darkfost states that the 30-day moving average of retail investors’ BTC inflows to Binance has fallen to 332 BTC, representing the lowest level since the launch of the exchange in 2017. Such a crash in retail investor activity is typically associated with a market of low interest, lacking hype or potential for a strong price momentum. However, more data provided by Darkfost sheds light on the contributing factors for this recent observation. Firstly, more retail participants have opted to keep their holdings on exchanges, despite events like the FTX collapse. Therefore, while there is a drop in BTC inflows/activity, they remain active investors in the market. Furthermore, there has been significant adoption of the Bitcoin spot ETFs by retail investors who prefer an indirect exposure to the digital asset. For context, BTC inflows from retail investors as of the launch of these ETFs in January 2024 stood at 1000 BTC, i.e., 3x today’s value. Meanwhile, other retail investors have actually left the Bitcoin market, rotating their capital into other financial markets like equities and commodities, which have seen strong rallies in recent times. Another interesting factor highlighted by Darkfost is that a small number of these retail participants have increased their holdings, automatically moving into a higher-ranking cohort. Going by the factors mentioned above, the observed drop in Bitcoin retail activity is driven by mixed developments. However, it appears that most retail investors are adapting their participation strategy as Bitcoin matures, rather than exiting the market amid the bear season.

As Bitcoin (BTC) holds the crucial $65,000 to $66,000 area, Ark Invest CEO and CIO Cathie Wood has discussed the flagship crypto’s current downturn, affirming that the era of severe pullbacks is over. Related Reading: $285M Bug Or Human Error? Solana-Based Drift Protocol Suffers Largest Exploit Of 2026 50% Bitcoin Correction Could Be A ‘Real Victory’ In a recent interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood affirmed that Bitcoin has matured over the last few years, citing broader adoption and growing institutional demand for the flagship crypto. Wood said that Bitcoin is a “proven technology” and a “proven monetary system,” adding that the industry is “seeing now is the institutionalization of this new asset class that has had a very low correlation with other asset classes.” Therefore, “the 85%, 95% collapses associated with a very new technology, that’s done.” To the CEO, the ongoing market correction, which has reduced Bitcoin’s value by nearly half from its October peak, could be viewed as a “real victory” rather than a sign of weakness for the Bitcoin community, as it would mark a significant decline from its historical crashes during previous bear markets. Last year, Wood trimmed her Bitcoin prediction for 2030 from $1.5 million to $1.2 million. However, she has reiterated her view that Bitcoin will serve as a store of value and global settlement system. She previously asserted that growing institutional adoption will be a powerful driver for long-term value for the flagship crypto, adding that it has only begun. “Institutions really have just dipped their toes into this space. We have just started, so we have a long way to go,” she stated. Analysts Say BTC Bottom Is Much Lower Despite Wood’s outlook, other market analysts have forecasted much lower targets for BTC’s bottom. Recently, Bloomberg senior strategist Mike McGlone suggested that a “bursting crypto bubble” scenario is looming for the leading cryptocurrency. As reported by NewsBTC, McGlone affirmed that Bitcoin could drop as low as $10,000 this year, noting that this level was a common trading price before 2020-2021 and “the first-born crypto’s most traded price since 2017.” Market watcher Crypto Jelle recently pointed out that the cryptocurrency’s bear market lows have historically formed below the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement levels, which could place BTC’s bottom below the $57,000 area. Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez said that BTC’s final correction before the next bull run could send the price 40%-50% down toward the $30,000-$40,000 area, based on its historical performance. The analyst explained that the crossover between BTC’s 50 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) has historically signaled the bottom of every major cycle over the past twelve years. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Break Four-Month Negative Streak With $1.32B Inflows While ETH, XRP Funds Bleed As he detailed, the crossover has consistently marked the start of the final leg down before the next bull market, with the price declining another 50% when the 50- and 200-SMAs crossed in previous cycles. Notably, Bitcoin has seen a 52% correction from its October 2025 peak, and the SMAs crossed over on February 27, which could suggest that another major correction is due, if history repeats.
