New Bitcoin All-Time Highs Still To Come In 2024, Predicts Trader: 'Don't Put All Your Buy In One Area'

Zinger Key Points
  • Crypto trader, Altcoin Sherpa foresees a drop in Bitcoin prices to $53,000 if the high time frame closes below $60,000.
  • He still foresees a Bitcoin at all-time highs later in 2024, and thus, traders should be patient and wait for returns.

Prominent cryptocurrency trader Altcoin Sherpa shared insights on Bitcoin's BTC/USD potential trajectory, anticipating new all-time highs down the line for the crypto king.

What Happened: In an April 15 tweet, the trader warned about a possible dip in Bitcoin's value to $53,000 if its high time frame closes below $60,000. He also adds that in this case, altcoins could potentially plunge by more than 50%.

However, he remains bullish on Bitcoin's long-term prospects, stating, “Bitcoin is still going to break all-time highs strongly later this year.”

Altcoin Sherpa advised traders to avoid leverage unless they are experienced or seeking to improve their skills, as the current environment is not conducive to it. Instead, he encouraged spending time on research and learning, as a major portion of the crypto market is down by over 50%.

Why It Matters: These views come at a time of heightened volatility, prompting the trader to advise patience and confidence. He suggests a dollar-cost average strategy for projects that traders like, stating, “Buy some here, buy some there…don’t put all your buy in one area unless you’re actively trading.”
