Bitcoin: Analyst Sees Peak in Crypto & AI Bubble

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe dismisses fears of an imminent top in the Nasdaq ($NQ), insisting the upward run has more room to grow. He draws parallels to mid-1928 and 1998, forecasting that the next Bitcoin (BTC) peak will mark the climax of the entire financial cycle, dubbed the 'Crypto & AI Bubble', followed by a brutal crypto market crash. Van de Poppe urges traders to capitalize on this window for maximum gains, weaving in hype around AI industry impact and emerging trends like TAO.

On the 4-hour BTC chart, price action holds firm in a bullish structure, grinding against the upper Bollinger Band at $81190.33 while the RSI at 56.67 stays neutral, avoiding overbought extremes that could trigger a snapback. Confluence builds as the MACD flashes a golden cross with 161.54 strength, reinforcing the trend above the EMA50 support at $80000.4 and the deeper EMA200 at $76219.9—expect a tactical pullback to test that 50-EMA before resuming the push, aligning with broader BTC price prediction models eyeing cycle highs.
