Dutch Cryptocurrency Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Could Surge to $150,000 by October 2025
A prominent Dutch crypto asset manager has outlined a bullish trajectory for Bitcoin, forecasting a potential rise to $150,000 by October 2025. This optimistic projection is based on current market trends, institutional adoption, and historical price patterns. The analyst highlights key catalysts such as ETF inflows, halving effects, and macroeconomic factors that could drive this upward momentum. Technical indicators and on-chain data are cited as supporting evidence for this ambitious price target, though the manager cautions that volatility remains a inherent characteristic of crypto markets.
BTC Cup and Handle Indicator
Meanwhile, Bitcoin prices on crypto exchanges formed a bullish cup and handle chart pattern on the 1M view. The cup formed over 8 days from Apr. 4 through Apr. 12, with a long 6-day handle through Apr. 18.
24H trade volume peaked at $98 billion on Apr. 7 in the middle of the cup and declined to below $21 billion by Friday, Apr. 18, as in many typical pre-rally markets.
18mo. Support Line for Bitcoin Prices
That bullish cup and handle market signal occurred right around a crucial inflection point for Bitcoin’s price along its long-term trend lines.

$150,000 BTC by October?
If BTC markets repeat the July through January rally’s performance while staying above long-term support, its price would top $150,000 by October. That target is in line with other analysts’ expectations.
