With Bitcoin (BTC) still struggling to surpass and stay over the critical psychological price level at $60,000, some cryptocurrency experts predict another massive crash before the maiden crypto asset can continue toward making new all-time highs (ATHs).
As it happens, Bitcoin has been increasing its dominance in recent weeks, signaling the possibility of a strong crash as it happened before, according to the observations shared by pseudonymous crypto market analyst Mikybull Crypto in an X post on August 12.
Bitcoin crash before recovery
Specifically, the crypto trading expert has noted that Bitcoin’s “crash down will be as violent as it was after the cycle bottom signal,” matching the flagship decentralized finance (DeFi) asset’s dominance cycle top confirmation, as the analyst’s chart demonstrates.

On the other hand, Mikybull has also pointed out that its “next target as it begins its wave (5) expansion will be first $95k and then $142k,” both of which would represent new ATHs for the largest asset in the crypto sector by market capitalization, up 60% and 140% from its current price after the potential Bitcoin crash, albeit sometime in 2025.

What others say
Earlier, another pseudonymous crypto analyst, TheMoonCarl, highlighted that Bitcoin was facing key resistance, which, if it manages to breach, could lead it to hit the price target of $125,000, perhaps in September this year, in a prediction based on a ‘cup and handle’ chart pattern, as Finbold reported on August 12.

At the same time, TheScalpingPro, a.k.a Mags, shared a similar sentiment as the other crypto analysts, arguing that Bitcoin is “inside a massive possible parabolic curve,” which could see it accelerate toward a possible ‘sell point’ at the top of the curve that culminates at around $180,000.

All things considered, crypto analysts seem optimistic regarding the asset’s future price performance despite occasional corrections like the possible upcoming Bitcoin crash. However, trends in this market can easily change, so doing one’s own research and understanding all the risks is critical when investing.
