Trader Says Bitcoin To Plummet Amid Choppy Trading Conditions, Updates Outlook on Ethereum and Solana
A widely followed crypto analyst is warning that Bitcoin ( BTC ) could plummet in value after failing to break through a key resistance level.
In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 254,300 followers on X that Bitcoin may return to the $107,000 range after the flagship crypto asset failed to hold $112,000 as support.
“BTC: we clearly saw the lower option play out and at this point I’m expecting us to return to the green box and chop around there. Until we cleanly break $112,000, I’m just going to assume we’re heading down to the $107,000s region again. Let’s see.”

“A more simple plan is probably to simply wait for a break of $112,000 before buying shitcoins. That’s it. Don’t do anything else until then.”

Next up, the analyst predicts that in the near term Ethereum ( ETH ) will trade around a price range with a upper bound of $4,494 and a lower bound of $4,215.
However, he says ETH may have a breakout if BTC resumes an uptrend.
“Pretty boring price action for ETH in my opinion. This one doesn’t move until BTC is finally healthy.”

Lastly, the analyst predicts that Solana against ETH ( SOL /ETH) will experience market choppiness in the near term.
“ETH outperforming SOL in the short term, I’m expecting these two to keep flip-flopping. Although I think there is going to be catch-up for SOL and its beta, I still think you should keep an eye out for some ETH beta.”
