Longs pay
Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that Bitcoin's prolonged consolidation below $70,000 is paving the way for a larger rally. "The longer it lasts, the stronger the breakout will be," said van de Poppe, expecting BTC to surpass the $71,000 level, which hasn't been broken since March 26. Bitcoin has been trading in a narrow $60,000-$74,000 range after the $60,000 annual low on February 6, and is currently down 8.25% at $66,890.

Michael van de Poppe's BTC Consolidation Prediction
Van de Poppe explains BTC's squeeze in a narrow range with a "spring mechanism" effect. Prolonged consolidation tests investor psychology and leads to explosive moves through volume accumulation. If the $71,000 resistance breaks, $80,000+ targets become realistic according to BTC detailed analysis.
BTC Price Movement in Narrow Range Over Last 60 Days

| Date | Price ($) | Change |

| Now | 66.890 | -8.25% |
Analyst Ted's Capitulation Warning
Ted argues that $60,000 is not the real bottom. He expects one last capitulation wave; this forms the base with the liquidation of weak hands. Historically, BTC rallies +50% after capitulation.
