As Bitcoin’s much-anticipated halving approaches in April, cryptocurrency analysts are engaged in spirited discussions about the potential trajectory of the leading cryptocurrency’s price.
Michaël van de Poppe, the founder and CEO of MN Trading, offers his insights and has shared his predictions, outlining a period of consolidation before potential growth, with a particular emphasis on the expected outperformance of certain altcoins.
Bullish long-term outlook amid near-term consolidation
Van de Poppe foresees a phase of consolidation for Bitcoin in the coming months, with a proposed price range fluctuating between $48,000 and $50,000 ahead of the halving.
My general theory is that #Bitcoin will consolidate in the coming months.

However, he cautiously warns of the possibility of a further correction, which could see the price drop to a range of $36,000 to $38,000 before a recovery occurs. This is consistent with his previous statements expressing a keen interest in accumulating more Bitcoin within this specified range.
Despite these short-term predictions of consolidation, Van de Poppe maintains a bullish stance on Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. He boldly projects a potential future price of $300,000, echoing the prevailing optimistic sentiment within the cryptocurrency market.
This optimistic outlook is not unique to Van de Poppe, as other analysts express similar enthusiasm, with price predictions ranging from $170,000 to as much as $1 million after the halving.

In an intriguing twist, Van de Poppe suggests that while Bitcoin is going through this period of consolidation, certain altcoins, namely Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) and Ethereum (ETH), could potentially “outperform” Bitcoin.
This implies an expectation that their growth rates will exceed those of Bitcoin. Dogecoin (DOGE) in particular has already shown bullish momentum, seemingly validating these projections.
