Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe forecasts a substantial rise in NEAR Protocol’s value, predicting a potential increase of over 275% within the next six months. NEAR, currently trading at $4, is projected to find support between $2.75 and $3.40, with the possibility of reaching $15 if these levels hold. The analyst’s insights offer valuable guidance for investors navigating the volatile crypto markets.
Expectations for Bitcoin
Van de Poppe also expresses optimism regarding Bitcoin’s trajectory, suggesting it could soon reclaim the $60,000 mark. Bitcoin 
$98,675 has broken through the $56,000 downtrend and is expected to test this level before potentially rising to the $60,000-61,000 range. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading above $57,390.
Developments in the Altcoin Market
The analyst indicates that the correction in the crypto market is ending, with many altcoins poised to gain value against Bitcoin. He observes that altcoins have reached bottom levels, and technical signals show improvement. Nonetheless, he cautions that the ETH/BTC pair might undergo a deeper correction before any potential upswing.
ETH is currently trading against BTC at 0.04081 BTC ($2,361) and has lost over 1% in the past 24 hours. Van de Poppe warns that if Bitcoin reaches the $60,000-61,000 levels, Ethereum 
$3,468 may experience further decline.
Michaël van de Poppe’s analyses provide critical insights into potential movements in cryptocurrency markets, highlighting the importance for investors to conduct their own research and make informed decisions.
