Crypto analyst RWA Investor has predicted that Bitcoin will rally to $140,000 
and XRP to $7, setting new all-time highs (ATHs) for these cryptos. The 
analyst also provided a timeline for when they will reach these targets and 
what will spark the parabolic rally. Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Rally To 
$140,000 And XRP to $7 In an X post, RWA Investor predicted that Bitcoin would 
be trading at $140,000 in May and that XRP would hit $7. He claimed that this 
is not wishful thinking but a psychological perspective. The analyst explained 
that the transition from Wave 2 to Wave 3 is rapid and is intended to drive 
capital on the sidelines and all bears into the market. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin Power Laws Predicts When Price Will Hit $1,000,000 Meanwhile, the 
analyst indicated that the CLARITY Act and an interest rate cut will be the 
catalysts that spark this Bitcoin and XRP rally. He claimed that the crypto 
bill and an interest rate cut are just around the corner. However, it is worth 
noting that the crypto bill has yet to advance, with the Senate yet to set a 
markup date for the bill. At the same time, there is still uncertainty about 
exactly when the Fed may lower rates, with the U.S.-Iran war raising inflation 
concerns. Market participants are currently pricing in the possibility that 
the Fed will hold rates steady throughout the year in a bid to bring inflation 
down to its 2% target. As such, it is uncertain whether the CLARITY Act or an 
interest rate cut could spark this Bitcoin and XRP rally, since they are 
unlikely to happen anytime soon. However, these cryptos, alongside the broader 
crypto market, have rallied this week amid optimism that the U.S.-Iran war 
could end soon as both sides continue to negotiate. U.S. President Donald 
Trump also extended the ceasefire yesterday, signaling the U.S. willingness to 
end the war soon. BTC Has Bottomed In an X post, crypto analyst Michaël van de 
Poppe opined that Bitcoin has bottomed, signaling that XRP and other altcoins 
may have also found a bottom. He noted that BTC’s fair value is still far 
away, even as the Nasdaq has made new ATHs, which is why the analyst is 
confident that this current rally may be sustained for a while. Related

Run To $200,000 The analyst further remarked that, based on the statistical 
data, the only time the market has seen another low was due to the FTX 
collapse. He noted that there is no such case this time around and predicts 
that BTC will likely continue its uptrend towards $90,000, then consolidate 
there for a while. Michaël van de Poppe added that this is when altcoins will 
start to get some spotlight again. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from
