Bitcoin, Final Correction Expected to Drop to $50,000..."Next is a Super Cycle Surge"

▲ Bitcoin (BTC)

A forecast has been made that Bitcoin (BTC) will enter a massive bull market based on institutional fund inflows and regulatory clarity, after undergoing a final correction with an additional drop to the $50,000 range.

Thinking Crypto analyst Tony Edwards appeared on Altcoin Daily on April 12 (local time) and diagnosed that the current virtual asset market is in a bear market phase, significantly retreating from its peak of $126,000 recorded in October 2025. He analyzed that Bitcoin is highly likely to go through a process of forming a bottom in the $50,000 range, emphasizing that this decline is an essential step to remove excessive market bubbles. He also stated that despite attempts at a short-term rebound near $71,000, the possibility of further declines should be considered.

Edwards cited the economic policies of the US President Donald Trump administration and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) as key variables that will determine the future direction of the market. He predicted that the government, ahead of the midterm elections, is likely to show a willingness to stimulate the economy, and quantitative easing could resume in various ways under a new Fed chairman. He emphasized the necessity of investing in risk assets to prepare for inflation, stating, “In the current fiat currency system, debt expansion and increased money supply are inevitable.”

The movements of institutional financial institutions were also interpreted as positive signals. Morgan Stanley's entry into the Bitcoin spot ETF market, forming a competitive landscape with BlackRock and Fidelity, was cited as an example of expanding institutional demand. Edwards predicted that if the US Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill (CLARITY) is finalized, regulatory uncertainty will be resolved, and institutional fund inflows will accelerate.

Among individual assets, the growth potential of Ethereum (ETH) was emphasized. Edwards stated that while keeping Bitcoin as the foundation of his portfolio, he is allocating a higher proportion to Ethereum, considering its software value and tokenization potential. He predicted that Ethereum could surpass $10,000 and also presented major altcoins such as Solana (SOL), XRP, SUI, and Avalanche (AVAX) as promising assets.

Furthermore, the threat of quantum computers was assessed as excessive fear. Edwards pointed out that miners will continuously upgrade their equipment in line with technological advancements, and if quantum technology reaches a real threat level, national critical infrastructure security issues would emerge before Bitcoin. He urged investors not to be swayed by short-term market noise but to analyze market cycles and the accumulation trends of large investors, maintaining a long-term dollar-cost averaging strategy.
