Bitcoin’s Next Stop: $135K in 100 Days? Top Analyst Drops Bombshell Prediction

Brace for impact—Bitcoin’s price rocket might just be entering its final countdown. One heavyweight analyst claims the crypto king is locked on trajectory for a $135,000 surge within three months. Here’s the fuel behind that moonshot.

Halving hype meets institutional FOMO. With the recent supply squeeze and BlackRock’s ETF army gobbling up coins faster than they’re mined, the math gets scary bullish. Meanwhile, Wall Street’s latecomers are still trying to pronounce ’blockchain’ correctly.

Technical alarms are blaring. The weekly chart shows a textbook breakout from a 15-month accumulation zone—the same pattern that preceded 2020’s 600% pump. This time? The analyst claims the institutional megaphone could amplify gains beyond retail’s wildest memes.

But keep one hand on the eject button. If this prediction fails, at least we’ll get another masterclass in crypto analysts revising their charts after the fact. Nothing burns quite like 100x leverage—except maybe a banker’s ’blockchain not Bitcoin’ PowerPoint slide.

Bitcoin might be on the edge of a massive breakout, at least, that’s what crypto analyst Timothy Peterson believes. Based on key market signals, he says Bitcoin could reach $135,000 in just 100 days, and the reasons behind this are worth a closer look.

What Does the VIX Have to Do with Bitcoin?

At the center of Peterson’s prediction is the VIX, a volatility index that tracks how uncertain investors are about the market. When it spikes, it usually means fear is high.

In April, the VIX closed above 56, something that’s happened only twice in modern history, during the 2008 financial crash and the 2020 COVID market panic. In both cases, what followed was a strong bounce back, especially for tech stocks like those in the NASDAQ. 

Peterson noticed that after a VIX spike, the NASDAQ gained around 10% in the first week, then soared by another 40% over the next 100 trading days.

Bitcoin Is Acting Like a Tech Stock

What’s surprising is that Bitcoin seems to be moving in a similar pattern to the NASDAQ’s historical rebound. Peterson says the data shows Bitcoin is tracking the NASDAQ’s recovery with 95% accuracy, a striking similarity.

But since Bitcoin is more volatile, the impact could be bigger. If market fear (VIX) continues to drop, especially below 18, which is seen as a “risk-on” zone, Peterson predicts Bitcoin could hit $107,000 in a few weeks and rise to $135,000 within 100 days.

Bitcoin Price Outlook

As of now, Bitcoin price is trading around $96,296, reflecting a drop of 0.51%  with a market cap hitting $1.9 trillion. Looking at the price chart, Bitcoin formed a “local bottom” between February and April 2025. It also stayed above a key line called the Kijun, strengthening the trend.

Recently, Bitcoin has broken above its April high of $95,173, which now acts as support, a positive sign for more growth. If it breaks above $95,800, the next target could be $99,000 and then $110,000 to $115,000.

Bitcoin’s price action shows it may be ready for a breakout. If it stays above $95,800, expect more upside soon.
