Bitcoin Bottom Out? Analyst Signal Turnaround Amid Market Slump

As an analyst with a background in financial markets and a keen interest in cryptocurrencies, I find Van de Poppe’s perspective on Bitcoin’s potential end of correction phase intriguing. The recent market downturn has been disheartening for investors, but the resilience of Bitcoin and its ability to recover from corrections is well-documented.


Bitcoin experienced a notable decrease in value during the month of April, representing its largest monthly drop. However, despite this bearish trend, prominent market analysts such as Michael van de Poppe are optimistic, predicting that Bitcoin’s corrective phase may be coming to an end soon.

Bitcoin At The End Of Correction?

In April, Bitcoin encountered significant difficulties, experiencing a nearly 20% decrease in value. This decline caused the cryptocurrency’s price to drop below $57,000, marking its lowest point since late February.

As an analyst, I’ve observed a significant market sell-off causing a near 10% decrease in the cryptocurrency market cap, now standing at approximately $2.2 trillion. Amidst this downturn, notable crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe has offered some optimism.

Van de Poppe implied through his latest posts on social media X that the current bitcoin prices could be approaching the end of this correction period.

I’ve identified a crucial price zone between $56,000 and $58,000 that could significantly impact Bitcoin’s near-term trend. These levels might serve as potential support areas for a possible bounce back in the cryptocurrency market.

#Bitcoin is at the end of the correction.

It’s already down 20% from the highs and we’ll have some more downside to happen from here.

If the corrective trend persists, I believe it’s important to keep an eye on the green zones between $56,000 and $58,000 for potential rebounds in the altcoin market.

A Closer Look At Predictions And Market Sentiments

Other analysts, such as Checkmate who specializes in on-chain analysis, share Van de Poppe’s positive perspective based on their examination of Bitcoin’s past trends.

In simpler terms, Checkmate coined the term “chopsolidity” to refer to a market stage characterized by stability yet potential for explosive growth, leading up to a strong bull market.

As an analyst, I believe this phase will persist for approximately six months, and afterwards, there’s a strong possibility of observing a period of robust growth, akin to previous market cycles. Additionally, Bitcoin’s historical data from halving years indicates a propensity for the market to exhibit impressive performance towards the end of the year.

As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency market, I’ve noticed that not everything is sunny in Bitcoin ETF land. In fact, there were approximately $300 million in net outflows from these funds during April, marking an end to a three-month streak of inflows. This trend signifies a growing sense of wariness among investors towards this asset class.

Additionally, Charles Edwards, the founder of Capriole Investments, has expressed apprehensions about the market’s unusually optimistic outlook. He has emphasized the importance of preparing for potential corrections in this highly volatile financial sector.

“If we stick to selling stocks from May through October, that’s the strategy I’d recommend based on current technical analysis. Until we fall below $61,500, it’s more probable that we’ll see scenario one unfold. However, a robust recovery above this level could give rise to optimism for scenario two. A significant sell-off might even help solidify the trend.”
