Analyst Who Called Bitcoin Top Says Price Is Going To $200,000, But Should You Buy Now?

2 hours ago 2

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit, who called the Bitcoin top, has predicted that BTC could still rally to $200,000, marking a new all-time high (ATH) for the leading crypto. However, the analyst suggested now isn’t a good time to buy as BTC is still likely to drop lower.

Bitcoin Still Going To Rally To $200,000 But Will Drop Lower First

In an X post, Doctor Profit indicated that Bitcoin would rally to $200,000, but that now is not a good time to buy, as BTC is likely to drop further, presenting a better buying opportunity. He explained that someone who buys at the current price would get fewer coins than someone who waits for BTC to drop to around $40,000.

The analyst criticized those who might argue that buying today is the same as buying at any other time, since there is an expectation that Bitcoin will still rally to $200,000. He described this as “absolutely dangerous thinking.” Doctor Profit suggested that the focus should be on maximizing profit, since someone who buys at a lower price will make more money than someone using a DCA strategy.

Also, Doctor Profit suggested that there is no point in timing the bottom and that it was better to set buy orders within a range. He stated that his buy orders will most likely be between $40,000 and $50,000. The analyst added that it is not a good decision to set buy orders above $60,000 or even close to $70,000. He recently reiterated that Bitcoin was still in a bear market, though he noted there could be a short-term relief rally to above $80,000.

The Signal Says It’s Not Yet Time To Buy BTC

Crypto analyst CrypFlow pointed to the 2-month Stochastic RSI bullish cross, noting that it has consistently marked the best buying opportunities in every cycle. He noted that the pattern isn’t there yet and hasn’t made the cross, signaling that it is not yet time to buy Bitcoin. Typically, the momentum resets below 20, sentiment turns negative, and then the bullish cross confirms the shift.

This cross is said to have marked the start of the bull run in the 2015, 2019, and 2023 cycles. At the moment, the stochastic RSI is resetting again, and the setup is building, but the signal hasn’t triggered. The analyst added that he isn’t trying to time the bottom but that he will build exposure slowly and add more on weakness. However, the real confirmation comes with this bullish cross.

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $66,800, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
