Expert Trader Who Projected 700% XRP Rally Outlines 3 Bitcoin Price Levels That Matter Most Right Now

Veteran trader DonAlt, an old-timer of the crypto community who gained even more popularity after accurately predicting a 700% $XRP rally to $3.65 back in 2024, has published an updated roadmap for Bitcoin.

While $BTC is hovering on the brink of $80,000, DonAlt urges traders to ignore the noise and focus on three mathematical levels that are currently defining the market direction:

$78,000: "Cautious return" pointBitcoin is already testing this level and according to the trader's analysis, this is where a shift in psychology occurs: from fear, the market moves into a "cautiously bullish" state. Holding above $78,000 is the first real signal that the trend has recovered.

$87,000: "Bullish acceleration" zoneIf $BTC breaks above this barrier, DonAlt expects a transition into a phase of parabolic growth. Above $87,000, caution will be replaced by aggressive buying, and the asset's price action will become highly impulsive.

$70,000: "Death zone"A critical support level, a drop below which is viewed by the trader as a scenario with a "high probability of death" for the current upward movement, which could trigger a prolonged decline.

The $73,000 liquidation trap and the $XRP success factor

The main risk factor today remains the fragility of long positions - according to data from CoinGlass, liquidations of long positions totalling about $130.08 million have already accumulated around the $73,218.83 level. This creates the risk of a cascading drop if support at $70,000 fails to hold.

For those who follow DonAlt's long-term projections, $BTC is currently in a preemptively bullish phase. It should be noted that his ultimate $XRP price target remains at $6.90, which leads to extrapolating this success to his current plan for Bitcoin.
