Bitcoin Analyst Sees Post-QT Setup Echoing 2019, Eyes $100K+ and Potential 2,200% Upside

Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader argued that the latest end of quantitative tightening, officially set for December 1, 2025, mirrors conditions seen in 2019 before bitcoin rallied from $3,000 to $69,000. He expects a new upward cycle if BTC can stay above $70,000, with a deeper accumulation phase below $60,000, and projects a possible multi-six-figure price as the market moves through manipulation and distribution phases. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe, focusing on shorter-term moves as BTC touched $71,000, targets $75,000 and potentially $80,000 within the same month while anticipating stronger relative performance from altcoins.
