Bullish trajectory of the virtual currency market
Renowned crypto analyst Gerd van Lagen has given a very bullish outlook on the crypto market, especially Bitcoin. According to his technical analysis, the current price trend is on a speculative path towards Bitcoin's ambitious goal of $200,000 by the next halving event.
Van Lagen's statement expressed confidence in his previous forecasts, saying there is no reason to change his view now as price trends support his forecasts. He refers to the ongoing bull market as the “fifth wave,” which in the context of Elliott Wave theory typically represents the final and most explosive stage of a bull cycle.
The chart shows a series of ascending triangles, which is considered a bullish continuation pattern and suggests that the uptrend is likely to continue after a period of consolidation. The recent ascending triangle breakout pushed prices to new all-time highs and further strengthened the bullish trend.
