NEO Eyes Triple-Digits: The $100 Breakout Timeline Traders Are Watching
NEO—once dubbed the ’Chinese Ethereum’—is stirring again. After years in the shadows, its price action hints at a potential moonshot. Here’s how the smart money is playing it.
Technical Setup: The Chart Whisperers’ Case
Ascending triangle on the weekly? Check. Volume quietly building since Q1? Double-check. NEO’s flirting with levels not seen since the 2018 hype cycle, and this time there’s actual developer activity backing the pump.
The Institutional Wildcard
Rumors swirl about Asian VCs quietly accumulating positions. If true, this could be less ’retail FOMO’ and more a coordinated play on China’s blockchain infrastructure push—because nothing says ’decentralization’ like hedge funds front-running government policy.
When $100? The Algorithmic Crystal Ball
Fibonacci extensions point to late Q3 2025 if BTC stays rangebound. But with NEO’s history of violent moves, don’t be shocked if it either rockets tomorrow or gets delisted in a regulatory crackdown. Such is crypto.

NEO coin had reached an all-time high of $198 in January 2018, and it’s been more than seven years since it was unable to breach its previous glory. It is down more than 97% from its ATH and is currently trading at the $5.3 mark in May 2025. After the bull run in 2021, the coin reached a high of $120, and was the last time it has not traded in three digits since.
When Will NEO Coin Reach $100? Here’s a Price Prediction
The recent analysis from a leading on-chain metrics and price prediction firm, Changelly, predicts that the maximum NEO coin price can surge in 2025 is $23. That’s way off the mark and not even close to the $100 price target. Therefore, investors who are hoping that it could climb above $100 this year need to stay out of the coin.
However, on-chain metrics and price prediction analytical firm CoinCodex has provided a long-term forecast for the NEO coin. According to the latest prediction, the coin could climb above $100 and reach a maximum price of $130 in 2029. That’s another four years from today and is considered a long-term holding.
That’s an uptick and return on investment (ROI) of approximately 2,450% from its current price of $5.30. If the forecast turns out to be accurate, an investment of $1,000 in NEO coin could become $24,500 in 2029. That’s phenomenal returns for five years if the price prediction turns true. It could experience various ups and downs in four years, and the investment is not for the faint-hearted.
