Bitcoin Mirrors Historic Bull Runs—$200K Target in Sight for 2025, Say Top Analysts
Bitcoin’s price action is uncannily replaying past cycles—and this time, the stakes are higher. As institutional FOMO meets retail frenzy, analysts are doubling down on their $200K predictions for 2025. Here’s why the market’s betting big.
### The Halving Effect: Rocket Fuel for BTC
Supply shocks from Bitcoin’s halving events have historically preceded parabolic rallies. With the latest halving in the rearview, traders are positioning for a repeat performance—only this time, with Wall Street’s playbook in hand.
### Institutional Onslaught: No Exit in Sight
BlackRock’s ETF was just the start. Now, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are piling in, turning Bitcoin into a ‘digital gold’ proxy. The irony? Traditional finance spent a decade dismissing crypto—now they’re its biggest bagholders.
### The $200K Question: Greed or Inevitability?
Technical charts show Bitcoin tracking its 2017 and 2021 trajectories—but on steroids. If history rhymes, the ATH won’t just be broken—it’ll be obliterated. Just don’t tell the SEC.

Prediction markets are pricing in a 60% chance Bitcoin hits $200K by December. Meanwhile, goldbugs are quietly sobbing into their safe-deposit boxes. The future’s orange, folks.
Bitcoin to Surge Higher
The analyst produced a Bitcoin Power Curve Cycle Cloud chart stating that if BTC is measured in gold ounces, “it looks like the cycle hasn’t even started.”
Bitcoin’s still tracking past cycles surprisingly well, given this time we have the ETFs, TCs, tariffs, and the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Iran conflicts. If the pattern holds, we would expect a peak somewhere around $200,000 in November or December of this year.

A flurry of bullish price predictions has emerged since the asset broke out of its two-month sideways channel and surged to an all-time high of just below $123,000 on Monday.
Former Google and Meta tech lead “TechLead” said that $120,000 was “nothing,” before adding:
“Exponential curves move faster in higher price bands. bitcoin (log) has been on the same trendline since 2023. It’s $200K by year-end, then $1 million by 2028.”
In a note shared with investors, Bitunix analysts said that crypto market sentiment remains bullish, with the next potential liquidation pressure zone lying between $125,200 and $127,000.
Meanwhile, Nic Puckrin, founder of The Coin Bureau, said in a note that retail buyers are nowhere to be seen yet, and this rally is still driven by institutional capital. He added that retail investors are not likely to get involved until FOMO kicks in at around the $150,000 level.
On July 12, before Monday’s Bitcoin run to an all-time high, the founder and CEO of CoinFund, Jake Brukhman, posted a list of bullish price predictions from a number of sources.

BTC Price Outlook
Bitcoin has cooled by 3.7% from yesterday’s all-time high, correcting sharply to $117,600 at the time of writing during the Tuesday morning Asian trading session.
The asset is now back at support, which was resistance late last week. If this support level does not hold, it could fall back to short-term support just above $111,000 or longer-term support at the $108,000 zone.
Pullbacks such as this are not uncommon following a euphoric rally and are an opportunity for markets to reset following profit taking at record highs.
