Pseudonymous researcher Alex Wacy predicts that Bitcoin BTC/USD has reached its bottom at $52,000, sparking discussions on the cryptocurrency's future.
What Happened: In a recent analysis shared on May 2, Wacy observed the crypto community’s focus on the $52,000 level for Bitcoin. He noted increased buyer interest at this level and suggested that every price rise is being viewed as a short entry to $52,000.
"Everyone is eyeing $52,000, but it’s not feasible to dump the price up just so everyone can buy in," Wacy writes.
In an ideal scenario, where Bitcoin’s price would rise to $62,000, retract to just below $56,500, and then rapidly pump to over $70,000, it would mark the start of an altseason. If Wacy’s analysis proves accurate, it could signal a significant shift in the crypto market.
Drawing parallels to previous situations when Bitcoin was at $17,000 and $28,000, Wacy predicted a similar outcome. He also suggested that buying altcoins at current levels is not a mistake, indicating an attractive risk-reward ratio for investors looking to diversify their crypto portfolios.

Why It Matters: If Wacy’s analysis proves accurate, it could signal a significant shift in the crypto market. The potential W-shaped reversal pattern and the start of an altseason would be a welcome development for investors who have weathered the recent market turbulence.
Wacy emphasized the importance of buying Bitcoin in parts rather than trying to catch the bottom, citing personal experience as a lesson.
In another tweet, Wacy writes, "It doesn’t matter if it’s $58,000, $52,000, or $43,000, the alt season is just around the corner and top alts that retail understands and generates interest will be pumped."
While the accuracy of Wacy’s predictions remains to be seen, his analysis provides a compelling perspective on the potential direction of the crypto market and the opportunities that may arise for both Bitcoin and altcoins.
