Bitcoin Could Surge to $135K Before Altcoins Follow: Here is Why

In this potential setup, BTC could climb as high as $125K–$135K before the broader altcoin market begins to react.

Bitcoin-Led Rally Before Altcoin Catch-Up?

CrediBULL notes that Bitcoin is showing signs of dominance and strength. If this continues, we may enter a short-lived phase where BTC rallies first, while altcoins lag — often referred to as an ALT/BTC capitulation move. This scenario has historically led to altcoin prices dropping in BTC terms before recovering later. Taking Curve ($CRV) as an example, the analyst points out that there is a key weekly demand zone on the CRV/BTC pair approximately 35–40% below current levels. A strong Bitcoin impulse while altcoins stagnate could push CRV/BTC into this lower zone — even if CRV/USD holds steady.

Implications: BTC Up, Alts Drift

This potential scenario suggests Bitcoin could rise significantly — into the $125K–$135K range — before altcoins like CRV start gaining traction. It would also “close the open door” to untapped demand below on CRV/BTC, potentially setting the stage for a stronger, healthier alt season later. The move aligns with CRV/USD already bottoming, despite not yet seeing much of a pullback in the CRV/BTC pair, further supporting the possibility of BTC leading temporarily.

Final Thoughts

CrediBULL emphasizes this is just one possible path, but given the strength seen in Bitcoin’s current structure, it’s a scenario worth watching. For now, eyes remain on BTC’s next breakout level — and whether altcoins will follow, or first endure a deeper BTC-relative reset.
