Bitcoin analyst Jelle has made a bold prediction, foreseeing a significant surge in the value of the cryptocurrency BTC, with a potential peak of $180,000. Jelle attributes this potential increase to the fear of missing out (FOMO), which could result in higher prices. However, he also cautions that market liquidity may be weak at these elevated levels. As a result, he advises investors to take aggressive profit-taking measures as Bitcoin approaches this peak, in order to mitigate potential losses when the market eventually corrects itself.
Jelle’s analysis is based on a retrospective examination and technical analysis of Bitcoin’s current state. He draws parallels to last summer’s trading pattern, where the cryptocurrency experienced months of sideways trading, testing two significant support levels: $25,000 during the previous summer, and the current level of $60,000. According to Jelle, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is oversold during this second retest, suggesting a potential recovery. If Bitcoin follows a similar trajectory as it did last summer, Jelle predicts that there will be another one or two months of consolidation before a significant upward movement, often referred to as a “journey to the moon.”
In addition to highlighting the potential price surge, Jelle also emphasizes the importance of strategic profit-taking. He advises investors to gradually sell portions of their assets in order to secure profits and minimize risks. Jelle warns against holding onto Bitcoin for too long, as the rapid price increase driven by FOMO could result in a sharp decline once the buying frenzy subsides.
Beyond Bitcoin, Jelle acknowledges the increasing interest in Bitcoin ETFs. While some Bitcoin maximalists believe that there will only be one Bitcoin ETF, Jelle points out the rapid evolution of the market. Ethereum is set to launch its ETF in the coming week, and VanEck has applied for a Solana ETF. This expansion indicates a growing mainstream acceptance and investment in various cryptocurrencies.
Jelle even humorously suggests that even the older generation, who have been skeptical of cryptocurrencies, will eventually join the market in a few years. The increasing adoption of cryptocurrency ETFs by traditional financial institutions could contribute to further growth and legitimacy in the crypto space.
