Bitcoin Price Forecast Of $150,000 ‘Too Low’ Amid Rising Adoption, Crypto Trader Says

As Bitcoin (BTC) surges past $100,000 once again, edging closer to a new all-time high (ATH), most crypto analysts predict the premier cryptocurrency will peak around $150,000 during this market cycle. However, some experts argue that such a target is “too low” for BTC, considering its growing adoption and evolving market dynamics.$150,000 Target Too Low For BitcoinCrypto trader Alex Becker recently took to X to share his thoughts on Bitcoin’s price momentum. The trader said that although the consensus points to BTC peaking at $150,000 this cycle, he believes that the target is “way too low and way too short.”Becker argued that at $150,000, Bitcoin’s market capitalization would only represent one-sixth of gold’s, leaving significant room for growth. He described the idea of BTC reaching merely one-sixth of gold’s market cap as “silly low.”At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s total market cap stands at $2.06 trillion. In comparison, gold commands a significantly larger market cap of approximately $18.5 trillion.As for why, the trader noted that unlike past market cycles, things are vastly different for BTC during the current cycle. The top cryptocurrency is poised to benefit from favourable regulations under Donald Trump’s administration, alongside increasing adoption by corporations and sovereign nations as a store of value.Becker projects that, driven by these factors, BTC could peak anywhere between $250,000 and $400,000. His outlook aligns with that of crypto analyst Will Clemente.In a recent post on X, Clemente noted that if a nation adopts Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, it could trigger a domino effect, compelling other countries to follow suit. Clemente elaborated:Once a nation adopts BTC as a strategic reserve asset, it becomes inherently nationalist to DCA into said asset. Then apply this to every nation on Earth that wants to keep its purchasing power simultaneously in game theoretic fashion.BTC Supply Crunch Nearing?As more corporations add Bitcoin to their balance sheets and speculation grows about the potential establishment of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve, the active supply of BTC may come under pressure.Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher recently pointed out in an X post that Bitcoin balances on crypto exchanges have hit a fresh seven-year low. Historically, reduced exchange supply correlates with sharp, parabolic price increases for the asset.Other projections estimate BTC could reach a peak of around $200,000 by the summer of 2025. At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $103,973, up 5.7% in the past 24 hours.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei NewsBTC Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei NewsBTC
