Analyst Sees BTC Under $107K as a ‘Tremendous Buy’ Despite Schiff’s Criticism of Saylor’s Bitcoin Bet

Bitcoin Expected to Grind Higher with Pullbacks; $112K Seen as Key Altcoin Trigger – 29/9/2025

Analysts anticipate a slow, steady climb for Bitcoin while flagging $112,000 as a potential trigger for a broader altcoin rally. Meanwhile, gold advocate Peter Schiff has renewed the debate over gold versus Bitcoin by questioning Michael Saylor’s BTC treasury strategy.

CoinDesk Senior Analyst James van Straten said Bitcoin’s market structure is shifting alongside gold’s repricing. He expects a gradual, stair-step advance supported by consistent ETF inflows, with periodic 10–20% pullbacks. Van Straten compared the setup to gold in the early 2000s, when prices rose over several years but often paused for healthy corrections.

“In some periods, Bitcoin may lag gold, and in others it may outperform—but over a full cycle, it could lead in total returns,” van Straten noted.

Michaël van de Poppe emphasized near-term price levels. He identified sub-$107,000 as a key buy zone where dip buyers are likely to step in, and $112,000 as a critical level. A decisive break and hold above $112,000 on UTC closes could confirm strength and broaden risk appetite, often prompting flows into major altcoins—a phase he terms “altcoin mode.”

Euro Capital CEO Peter Schiff, meanwhile, challenged Saylor’s Bitcoin strategy by comparing it to a hypothetical gold program. Schiff argued liquidity is the key differentiator: tens of billions of dollars in gold could be sold with limited market impact, whereas liquidating a similar Bitcoin position could depress prices and trigger copycat selling.

Bitcoin proponents counter that large exits could be managed gradually through over-the-counter channels, but Schiff maintains that gold’s deeper market provides greater flexibility for ultra-large holders.
