Analyst CrediBULL predicts that Bitcoin’s price could climb as high as $125K-$135K before altcoins begin to respond, potentially leading to a short-lived period where BTC rallies first. This scenario is known as an ‘ALT/BTC capitulation move,’ where altcoins lag behind during a Bitcoin-driven rally. Historical data suggests that this pattern often results in altcoin prices dropping in relation to Bitcoin before recovering later. The analyst provides examples like Curve ($CRV), highlighting its key weekly demand zone on the CRV/BTC pair, approximately 35-40% below current levels. If Bitcoin experiences a strong surge while altcoins stay stagnant, this could push CRV/BTC into that low zone. Even if CRV/USD (the CRV token against USD) remains stable, this dynamic could still influence the price of CRV/BTC. 7 This potential scenario suggests that Bitcoin might rise significantly, reaching the $125K-$135K range before altcoins like CRV begin to gain traction. It also opens up ‘untapped demand’ below on the CRV/BTC pair, potentially setting the stage for a stronger and healthier alt season later in the long run. CRV’s price is already bottoming, despite not yet seeing a significant pullback in the CRV/BTC pair, further strengthening the possibility of Bitcoin leading first. The analyst emphasizes that this is just one possible path, but given Bitcoin’s current structure, it’s a scenario worth watching closely. For now, the focus remains on Bitcoin’s next breakout level and whether altcoins will follow suit or first endure a deeper, BTC-relative reset.
