As for the overall crypto markets, the crypto analyst is doubling down on a bullish prediction he made earlier this month.

“Make sure to read it, as the bull will be approaching.”

On August 3rd, Van de Poppe shared a lengthy essay titled “Investors Perspective in Crypto Markets Follows History.”

“I’ve seen many people suggesting that we’ll see Bitcoin drop to $12,000 and altcoins to have another capitulation. I don’t think we’ll have that and in this post I’ll explain why…

All-in all, we’re in the second stage of capitulation, which is time. This is the boring stage of the cycle, where you might feel like nothing is happening in the markets at all and you should move towards other markets rather than crypto.”

According to his shared “Psychology of a Market Cycle” chart, anger, depression, and disbelief are next for the crypto markets before mounting their next bull run.
