Crypto analyst and prominent market commentator Carl Moon predicts a “HUGE bounce” for Bitcoin despite the ongoing market-wide volatility.

Bitcoin (BTC) experienced significant volatility following the U.S. government’s decision to impose tariffs on a flurry of countries. The largest crypto hovered near $83,000, but by Sunday evening and into Monday morning, its value plummeted further. In just a few days, Bitcoin fell below $75,000.

This sharp drop was followed by a brief recovery triggered by false reports suggesting that the U.S. would delay tariffs for 90 days. Bitcoin climbed above $81,000 during this rally. 

However, the White House quickly dismissed the rumor, with President Donald Trump warning China of a potential 50% tax. Despite seeing another pullback, Bitcoin is showing signs of recovery, with a 24-hour increase of 3.98%, bringing its value above $79,000.

Bitcoin Market Cycles and Analyst Insights

Amid these turbulent fluctuations, crypto analyst Carl Moon, the founder of The Moon Show, has weighed in on Bitcoin’s future. Moon expressed optimism for the crypto asset, stating that he senses a potential “huge bounce” for Bitcoin.

Previously, Moon had discussed the importance of understanding market cycles, particularly during periods of volatility like those triggered by a bear trap. 

On Monday, he shared an image outlining the typical phases of Bitcoin’s market sentiment, such as accumulation, shake-out, trend emergence, and bear traps, emphasizing the need to avoid being misled by short-term market movements.

Moon’s perspective comes in contrast to the rapid changes in Bitcoin’s price. He also predicted that BTC would reach $500,000, while top altcoins could see a 100x increase within this year. 

BTC will go to $500K+
Top alts will 100x+

This year.

Technical Analysis Points to Bitcoin’s Resilience

On a more technical front, Gert van Lagen, a notable market analyst, has provided insights into Bitcoin’s price behavior. He pointed out that Bitcoin is continuing its bull market, citing a bounce off the neckline of a four-year-old inverted head and shoulders pattern. 

This technical setup suggests that Bitcoin could target around $300,000. Van Lagen also mentioned that the $74.8K level served as a key support point, warning that a weekly close below this threshold could invalidate the bullish outlook.

Meanwhile, another analyst from TradingView, Philip, highlighted Bitcoin’s strength despite the broader market’s struggles. Philip noted that Bitcoin and many other assets have maintained their ground, even as stock markets decline. 

His analysis suggests that Bitcoin could be on track for significant price growth, targeting levels between $170,000 and $220,000. He emphasized Bitcoin’s historical ability to break above key resistance levels and retest them as support, a pattern typically followed by bullish surges. 

At press time, Bitcoin currently trades for $79,295, down 0.25% in the last 24 hours.
