A Bitcoin analyst on the Thinking Crypto podcast suggested recent Bitcoin price dips were a strategic move by whales positioning for a bull run. The analyst analyzed BTC’s chart patterns and compared them to historical trends, highlighting how Ethereum and other altcoins have behaved in recent months as they prepared for sustained rallies.
Bitcoin hit a new all-time high in March, just weeks before the latest halving event. However, the flagship crypto has since consolidated, retracing over 30% in the past six months. While many retail traders panicked about BTC’s behavior, the renowned analyst explained how Bitcoin whales controlled the trend, taking advantage of a downward channel and setting the market up for a sustained bull run.

Ethereum’s Parity with Bitcoin: A Bullish Sign
The analyst also used the ETH/BTC chart to support his opinion on market consistency by showing how the pair repeated the type of pullbacks it experienced every cycle before the parabolic bull run. More crucially, he highlighted Ethereum is achieving parity with Bitcoin, signaling the likelihood of the type of rally seen when the crypto market moves in tandem during notable uptrends.
BTC to $150,000 Before FOMO
As a prediction, the analyst believes Bitcoin can go as high as $150,000 in the current bull cycle. However, he thinks crypto traders need to pay attention to the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) the market would generate after the rally begins. According to him, a consequential FOMO can cause BTC to rally up to $250,000.
From an expert trader’s perspective, the analyst explained how investors can track the Bitcoin market after reaching a realistic price target of around $120,000 and follow up with stop-losses and a close observation as the FOMO kicks in. He emphasized that the FOMO volume is unsustainable and could disappear quickly.
