Bitcoin\u2019s valuation against gold has dropped to one of its lowest levels on record \u2014 a signal that, historically, has shown up near major market bottoms.<\/p>\n

A Pattern Worth Watching<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s one of the key observations<\/a> from crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe, who believes Bitcoin is building toward new all-time highs before the year is out.<\/p>\n

Van de Poppe points to the relationship between Bitcoin and gold as a telling sign. When gold rallies hard, Bitcoin often lags. But once gold<\/a> peaks, Bitcoin has tended to catch up \u2014 and then some. That rotation, he argues, may already be in motion.<\/p>\n

His broader case rests on more than just one metric. The Sharpe ratio \u2014 a measure of return relative to risk \u2014 is currently sitting at levels that mirror past bear market floors: 2015, 2018, and 2022.<\/p>\n

Each of those periods was followed by significant price recoveries. Based on that pattern, van de Poppe believes Bitcoin is undervalued right now and offers a strong risk-reward setup for long-term investors.<\/p>\n

Short-term dips, he said, remain possible. But the overall structure of the market, in his view, points higher.<\/p>\n

Key Price Levels To Watch<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin<\/a> recently hit a 12-week high before pulling back. It is now working to hold above the $77,000 mark. According to van de Poppe, $79,000 is the critical resistance line.<\/p>\n

A clean break above it would open the door to a move between $86,000 and $95,000. From there, $110,000 becomes the next target over a six-month window.<\/p>\n

On the downside, $73,500 is the level to watch. If that support holds, the uptrend stays intact. If it breaks, a deeper retest could come before any renewed push higher.<\/p>\n

Data shows that Bitcoin dropped close to $60,000 back in February before snapping back sharply \u2014 a move that caught many traders off guard. That kind of recovery against bearish sentiment is not unusual in past cycles, reports note.<\/p>\n

A Big Target For Year\u2019s End<\/p>\n

The long-range call is the one drawing the most attention. Van de Poppe sees Bitcoin reaching between $150,000 and $160,000 by late 2026 \u2014 a level that would represent new all-time high territory.<\/p>\n

He bases that projection on historical cycle behavior, which has shown 30% to 50% gains within three months of a confirmed low.<\/p>\n

Whether that bottom is already in remains an open question. But for van de Poppe, the signals are stacking up in one direction.<\/p>\n
