Expect an "Irrational Surge" in Bitcoin and Altcoins

Michaël van de Poppe, a cryptocurrency analyst and trader, has outlined two possible scenarios for Bitcoin and altcoins in the coming months. In the first scenario, he predicts that the cryptocurrency market will follow its four-year cycle, with Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high in the fourth quarter of 2025 and altcoins experiencing growth in the first quarter of 2026. In the second scenario, van de Poppe believes that Bitcoin and altcoins will see even greater growth, coinciding with a rise in stock prices, all influenced by the policies of President Trump. In this case, he forecasts that Bitcoin could reach one million dollars, while altcoins may experience irrational valuations. However, the analyst warns that after this period, a trend reversal is likely, potentially leading to the largest correction or crisis in the market.
