Several crypto analysts are again putting big numbers on the table for a potential bullish cycle. Bitcoin at $190,000. Ethereum near $9,000. XRP above $30. Solana above $2,700. These are some of the wild, ambitious targets being described by popular figures.
The targets vary wildly, and so does the reasoning behind them. Some analysts are looking at multi-year chart patterns. Others see more immediate signals that could shape the next move.
Note: None of these levels are forecasts with certainty. They show where traders think prices could go if key technical conditions are met.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Targets Are Turning Bullish
For Bitcoin, analyst Ali Martinez is watching a rising channel that has developed over roughly two years.
Hischart places major resistance around $125,000. A confirmed breakout could open a move toward $190,000.
Michaël van de Poppe is taking a more cautious view. He argues Bitcoin’s low volatility and slow climb are healthy rather than signs that momentum has disappeared.
The pitcure of #Bitcoin remains to be the same. Not much volatility happening on the markets, and just a slow grind upwards. To be honest, that's completely fine for me. pic.twitter.com/KGwzPqeInp — Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) October 6, 2026
Ethereum is attracting similarly bullish calls.
Martinez sees resistance around $5,000, with a successful breakout potentially putting $8,800 in play.
MerlijnTrader is watching a different signal. Ethereum has formed its third golden cross on the two-day chart since 2023. According to his analysis, the previous two were followed by rallies of close to 100%.
You've seen this $ETH signal twice before. Both golden crosses on the 2D since 2023 were followed by a move of nearly 100%. Number three just printed. You know what that means. pic.twitter.com/kxI8GE1WHo — Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) October 5, 2026
XRP and Solana Bring the Biggest Targets
The more aggressive projections are appearing further down the market.
Martinez sees an ascending triangle on XRP, with resistance around $3.66. His measured breakout target sits near $31.87.
Moustache is focused on a much nearer hurdle. He sees an inverse head-and-shoulders setup that could help XRP reclaim $2, ending his outlook with a simple: “Send it.”
$XRP (W) I think $XRP is on the verge of reaching $2+ again. Inverse H&S. Send it.🫡 pic.twitter.com/EJ4Jb7ldu6 — 𝕄𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕔ⓗ𝕖 🧲 (@el_crypto_prof) October 5, 2026
Solana has produced an even more eye-catching projection. Martinez’s cup-and-handle setup points to resistance near $295 and a possible long-term target around $2,744.
Sweep sees more risk first. His view is that Solana remains in an accumulation phase and could fall below $110 before another expansion begins.
$SOL is doing exactly what it did last month First expansion and then accumulation Right now SOL is in the accumulation phase with a drop below $110 possible Once that completes the next leg up will start pic.twitter.com/t5OJNANx6j — Sweep (@0xSweep) October 4, 2026
The numbers make for dramatic headlines. The important part comes before them: every projection depends on the underlying pattern actually breaking out and holding.
Until that happens, these remain scenarios rather than price destinations.
