A crypto analyst known as “Capt. Parabolic Toblerone” predicts that Bitcoin will hit $210,000 before Valentine's Day in 2025.
A crypto analyst recently took to X (formerly Twitter), boldly predicting a new bullish price target for Bitcoin in Q1 2025. The analyst, who analyzed Bitcoin's future price trajectory using the Elliott Wave theory, anticipates that the 4th Wave will conclude with a price crash to $91,000, while the 5th Wave will propel BTC to reach new heights of $210,000 during this bull cycle.
On January 10, a crypto analyst known as “Capt. Parabolic Toblerone” predicted that Bitcoin will hit $210,000 before Valentine's Day in 2025. The analyst shared a Bitcoin price chart from Q4 2024 to date, showcasing a technical analysis of the cryptocurrency's price action based on the Elliott Wave Theory.
The analyst's chart highlighted the first four waves of the Elliott Wave pattern, with Bitcoin currently nearing the completion of the corrective Wave 4. For those unfamiliar, the Elliott Wave theory is a technical analysis that utilizes price patterns to predict market movements.
Typically, Elliott Waves progress from 1 to 5, each wave representing a distinct trend phase. While Wave 1 marks the beginning of a new trend, Wave 2 reflects a pullback from Wave 1. Among these waves, Wave 3 is known to be the strongest and longest phase, often propelling a cryptocurrency to new all-time highs. Meanwhile, Wave 4 signals a price correction and consolidation, and lastly, Wave 5 highlights a potential bullish reversal and the end of the pattern.
In the case of Bitcoin, the analyst predicts that Wave 4 could conclude with a price crash to $91,000. On the other hand, Wave 5 is anticipated to be a strong upward movement, described by the crypto analyst as a “blow-off top.”
According to his analysis, Wave 5 is expected to propel Bitcoin's price to around $210,000 before February 14, corresponding with the upper 6.618 Fibonacci extension level. The analyst has labeled this bullish price target as the top of the cycle, indicating that $210,000 could be the highest Bitcoin will reach in this four-year cycle.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $94,306. The analyst has marked several Fibonacci retracement and extension levels on the chart, indicating resistance and support areas.
While predicting a Bitcoin market peak of $210,000, Capt. Parabolic Toblerone's Bitcoin price chart also highlights a potential A-B-C corrective structure following the blow-off top. This correction could see Bitcoin decline significantly, with a potential drop below $100,000. If Bitcoin does hit the predicted market peak of $210,000, this pullback would amount to a crash of over 50%.
This anticipated decline aligns with patterns observed in previous bull cycles, where explosive rallies to new ATHs precede a sharp downturn. In the case of Bitcoin, this decline would likely mark the beginning of its bear market. Highlighting this potential price crash, the crypto analyst advises caution for Bitcoin and altcoin investors, suggesting that traders “exit all alts” as BTC reaches its predicted top.
