Just caught up on some old van de Poppe analysis from last year, and it's interesting to see how it played out. He was calling for Bitcoin to potentially hit $85K by April 2025 if it held above $72K support and broke through $75K resistance with solid volume. Looking at where we are now in May 2026, BTC is sitting around $78K, so it got pretty close to that target. The technical setup he outlined made sense at the time - major resistance levels, volume confirmation, all that stuff traders usually watch. What I found more useful was his take on altcoins following Bitcoin moves. He mentioned alts tend to move 1.5 to 3x harder than BTC, which tracks with what I've seen in the market. The point about capital rotation after a Bitcoin rally is something I keep an eye on. Van de Poppe's framework wasn't just price guessing either - he was looking at consolidation patterns and macro conditions affecting crypto flows. Obviously predictions aren't guarantees, but his structured approach to analyzing Bitcoin and the broader market made more sense than the usual hype you see. Definitely worth reviewing how analysts like van de Poppe think through these moves, even when they don't play out exactly as expected.
