A prominent cryptocurrency analyst, known for his long-term optimism towards Bitcoin, stated that currently, especially with Bitcoin's price approaching $90,000.
The analyst, known as CrediBULL Crypto, confirmed that although he believes Bitcoin still has room to rise in this market cycle, the risk/reward ratio and the expected return from current levels no longer favor buying Bitcoin compared to altcoins.
The analyst justifies that Bitcoin has risen about 30 times from its lowest point in the previous cycle, making the risk profile less attractive for new investments. He noted that Bitcoin usually leads the market out of bearish phases, but explosive rallies in altcoins often occur later, after Bitcoin's peak.
He used XRP as a key example, explaining that it lagged behind Bitcoin's performance for over 460 days, before experiencing a seven-fold increase in just 23 days in mid-2025. This surge wiped out all previous weaknesses and yielded greater returns for those holding XRP compared to those who bought Bitcoin above $25,000 during the same period.
The analyst concluded that high-quality altcoins can remain dormant for long periods before achieving significant movements in a short time, rewarding patience and accumulation.
> "The real opportunity at this point in time lies in high-quality altcoins, with strong fundamentals and solid structures."
In the current market context, Bitcoin is trading around $87,000, down about 1% in the last 24 hours and **6%** over two weeks, after repeated failures to stabilize above $90,000. The market has seen liquidations worth around $250 million, most of which are tied to long-term buy orders, while Bitcoin remains constrained between $85,000 and **90,000 dollars** due to a large options structure limiting volatility.
XRP is currently trading near $1.85, down about 50% from its peak in July at $3.65, with weakness in the weekly and monthly time frames. Despite the current negative sentiment, analysts believe that such pessimism often precedes sharp recoveries in the past.
This analysis comes amid a slowdown in Bitcoin momentum and an increased focus on relative value, reinforcing the idea of rotating towards high-quality altcoins until the end of the year.
