How the crypto market has fared
The entire crypto market experienced bullish moments during the pandemic. Many analysts attributed the high interest rates to excess money in circulation. However, since early 2022, the market has contracted due to many macroeconomic factors.

momentum. Therefore, estimates should be within a range – it can vary. I expect at least 100k, not 300k+, probably somewhere around 150k-ish. But will know more as PA develops and the move actually begins. – Credible.
Statistics Behind Credible’s Bullish Sentiments
It is well known that Credible practices the Elliott Wave theory. This advanced technical analysis approach attempts to predict price movements by leveraging crowd psychology, which usually moves in waves. The theory states that a significant uptrend consists of five waves. The first three of these are revivals and the last two are corrective phases.
While price-wise we’re lower than expected, macro-decline hasn’t been reached ($14,000) and time-wise, we’re still on track for our fifth wave, despite what it looks like. In terms of time, the correction of wave four is proportional to the third wave, just as wave two was to the first wave. – Credible.
According to the expert’s chart, BTC could rise sharply in price sometime next month. He claims that sometime next year the price of Bitcoin will rise to around $150,000. Cryptocurrency analyst also expects BTC to move beyond $22,000 in the near future.
