Crypto Analyst Predicts Bitcoin To Explode

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe is expressing bullish sentiment on Bitcoin (BTC) amid growing interest from institutional investors. He tells his 162,000 YouTube subscribers that Bitcoin could rally by up to 15x in the run-up to the halvening and for several months after.

Expectations Of Price Growth

Van de Poppe expects that this cycle will bring crypto to between $10 to $20 trillion and peak from there. He believes that following this spike in adoption and price growth, an expectation of Bitcoin doing a 10x or maybe even a 15x is not strange at all.

Potential End Of The Run

In terms of short term predictions, if Bitcoin were to undergo a correction, he marks $42,000 as the potential end of the run for this current rally.

Comparison To Dot-Com Bubble

Van de Poppe draws comparisons between crypto assets now and the dot-com stock market bubble of the late 1990s – expecting it might reach a similar market cap value before correcting again.

Growing Institutional Interest

The analyst cites growing institutional interest as helping fuel these price predictions – with more retail investors and governments entering into crypto markets over time.
