Bitcoin analyst Jelle has made a bold prediction, stating that the cryptocurrency BTC could reach a staggering $180,000. Jelle believes that a breakout in Bitcoin could trigger a surge in prices due to the fear of missing out (FOMO). However, he cautions that market liquidity will be weak at these high levels. As a result, Jelle advises investors to aggressively take profits as Bitcoin approaches this peak, in order to avoid losses when the market eventually corrects.
Jelle has conducted a retrospective analysis and compared Bitcoin’s current state with the pattern observed last summer. He notes that the cryptocurrency experienced months of sideways trading, with two significant support levels being tested: $25,000 last summer and now $60,000. Jelle points out that the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is oversold during this second retest, indicating a potential recovery. If Bitcoin continues to follow the same behavior as last summer, Jelle predicts that there will be one or two more months of consolidation before a significant upward movement, often referred to as a journey to the moon.
In addition to his technical analysis, Jelle emphasizes the importance of strategic profit-taking. He advises investors to gradually sell portions of their assets to secure profits and reduce 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.
Jelle also highlights the increasing interest in Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds). While some Bitcoin maximalists believe that there will only be one Bitcoin ETF, Jelle notes the rapid evolution of the market. Ethereum is set to launch its ETF next week, and VanEck has applied for a Solana ETF. This expansion indicates a growing mainstream acceptance and investment in various cryptocurrencies.
In a humorous note, Jelle 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 bring more growth and legitimacy to the crypto space.
