Popular market pundit Michaël van de Poppe has stated that Bitcoin has already 
recorded its cycle bottom. The premier cryptocurrency is currently in a 
sustained uptrend that began in early April. During this time, Bitcoin&#8217;s price 
has surged from around $67,500 to a recent peak of around $80,000, culminating 
in an approximate net gain of 20%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drops To 2 Cents! 
Revolut Users Report Massive BTC Price Glitch 50-Week MA Indicator Represents 
Pivotal Encounter For Bitcoin Bulls In line with his bullish outlook, van de 
Poppe has highlighted two crucial price barriers that lie ahead in this 
postulated market recovery, supported by a historical pattern that transcends 
market cycles. Using data from 2017 to 2024, the seasoned analyst explains 
that the first rally in any bull cycle often encounters pivotal resistance at 
the last significant support level and/or the 50-Week Moving Average (MA). 
Going by this historical data, the immediate resistance level for Bitcoin lies 
between $86,000 and $88,000, a price zone that had served as the major support 
region from November to January, prior to the heavy market sell-off that 
closed out January. However, the more significant resistance level sits 
higher. As the name implies, the 50-Week Moving Average (MA) is a long-term 
technical indicator that tracks the average closing price of an asset over the 
past 50 weeks to identify the broader market trend. It is often used to spot 
major resistance or support levels and to confirm bullish and bearish market 
momentum. Van de Poppe&#8217;s Bitcoin analysis reveals that the 50-Week MA has 
consistently acted as a major flip zone during Bitcoin bull markets once it is 
below the 200-week moving average, which serves as a critical long-term 
support level. As seen in the previous cycle, this crossover turns the 50-week 
MA into a strong support level, paving the way for an extended price rally.

Calls Out 50% Crash To $42,000 Altcoin Rally, Market Retrace &#8211; Bull Run Bears 
Multi-Phases According to van de Poppe, there is a strong possibility that 
Bitcoin consolidates around the highlighted resistance zones for a few weeks. 
During this time, the analyst predicts that altcoins could attract capital 
inflows and register a significant rally, presenting an early opportunity to 
recoup losses from the bear market or compound gains for new market entrants. 
However, van de Poppe also warns that Bitcoin could retest the $70,000-$75,000 
range before resuming its bull rally. At press time, Bitcoin trades at 
$80,900, up 1.02% over the past day. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is down 
44.29% to $19.29 billion. Featured image from Flickr, chart from Tradingview
