Over the past few weeks, the crypto market has slowly recovered from its previously extended bear cycle, with the Bitcoin price making new all-time highs and Ethereum surging to unexpected levels. Now, bold predictions of a new price peak and a possibly parabolic altcoin season are spreading, with a crypto analyst forecasting Bitcoin climbing to $200,000 and Ethereum hitting $10,000.
Ethereum And Bitcoin Price Eye Their Biggest Moves Yet
The Bitcoin price is on a trajectory toward $200,00,0, and Ethereum could reach $10,000 by the end of 2025, according to market expert Ash Crypto. This bold prediction is backed by market signals that suggest that the next phase of the crypto bull cycle is accelerating.
After months of sideways consolidation, the market appears to be on the verge of a massive upward move, and Ash Crypto believes that this will not only be a breakout for top assets but also the beginning of a full-scale altcoin season. Historically, strong rallies in Bitcoin and Ethereum act as precursors to altcoin surges, with capital rotating back from large-cap coins into smaller, high-potential tokens.
As the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) tops, altcoins typically begin outperforming, delivering exponential gains in short timeframes. During the last bull cycle, Ethereum skyrocketed to new all-time highs, leading the altcoin market and paving the way for other cryptocurrencies to surge.
Current data shows that similar patterns are forming, indicating that the altcoin cycle could begin as soon as BTC and ETH break through key resistance levels and reach their highest levels yet.
The message to investors and traders by Ash Crypto is to “not get shaken out and not sell early”. He highlights that selling at current levels, especially after enduring deep drawdowns, would be premature.
Presently, Bitcoin is roughly 50% below its projected target of $200,000, while Ethereum still trades well under $5,000. At the same time, many altcoins are trading 70-90% below their previous highs, presenting a rare opportunity for high-risk and high-reward plays.
As Bitcoin and Ethereum set the stage, Ash Crypto is projecting 10x to 20x returns on select assets, particularly those with strong utility, active development, real-world use cases, and a vibrant and supportive community.
Altcoin Season Ready To Run As BTC.D Peaks
Sharing similar sentiments about an impending altcoin season, market expert CryptoElites announced on X that the Bitcoin Dominance has officially reached a peak. The analyst shared a chart with BTC.D sitting at a high of 64.35%, indicating that altcoins may be preparing to skyrocket.
Notably, after the Bitcoin Dominance reached critical resistance zones and peaked in 2021 and 2019, altcoins outperformed significantly. The analyst’s chart shows that altcoins jumped by a whopping 50x in 2021, as capital rotated out of BTC.
Now, in 2025, BTC.D has reportedly reached its highest price around similar key resistance levels. If it tops out and reverses just like before, CryptoElites predicts that a new altcoin season will begin, potentially paving the way for another 50x gains in select cryptocurrencies.
