What’s up, everyone? BTC just hit $125,000 hitting that new all-time high. While I was looking around, I came across some reports from earlier when folks and companies were calling this price level (or something close). It's pretty crazy that they actually got it right. Check these out: 1. A Standard Chartered analyst predicted Bitcoin could hit $125K if Trump won they were laying out the upside. 2. An analyst who nailed the price in 2023 said Bitcoin would go over $125K this year. If these guys got it right before, maybe their future calls are worth considering. Who else was on the $125K or higher train early on? Which analysts or firms do you think are reliable now? Let’s toss around some names, past guesses, and see whose predictions are worth paying attention to this time around.

I don't think it's right to use this correct prediction to judge other predictions. This might just be a lucky one. Besides, predicting Bitcoin to get to 125k is not a very distinct prediction because a lot of people. Even on this forum, a lot of people predicted Bitcoin to go above $120k, so it's not something we can use to say the person has foresight. For me, my prediction was $150 for this bull run, and I still believe Bitcoin will get to that before the end of the bull run. People might talk about how the bull run will soon come to an end, but I don't believe that. Even if it doesn't get to $150k, I'm sure we will see another ATH after this one.

A 14 years old kid who is just learning about trading can predict this to happen and yet it doesn't mean he knows better, influencers are the most terrible set of people, they played so safe so that they can tell you latter than that "I Told You So", only very few of them knows what they are doing, and that is telling you that market can be so unpredictable and price action might go any direction regardless of what they believed to happen. Avoid price predictions, learn how to read charts on your own and also take profit when yoh have some, it takes just tok much energy to keep following people on social mdia because they predicted a move right, I am on twitter myself and I have seen old time guru messing up so badly, when Bitcoin broke 120k millions of dollars got liquidated.

There have been people around here who were predicting this and higher for a long time.  Not on a specific date because that is just luck based on innumerable factors, but that it would get high and probably higher.  If you believe in freedom, freedom of money from political control - "independent" central banks are anything but independent - , freedom to protect yourself from statists, censorship resistance AND you think that enough other people believe in similar liberties, bitcoin still has much more room to run.

I say those who have been buying bitcoin have been predicting the price to reach 125k USD since a few months now. It could not stay for long though, with the price crashing back to 124k to 123k USD. It will take some time to consolidate this price and reach upwards towards 130k USD. I say keep your targets small and you will reach them eventually. But dont follow analysts or take their content with a bag or salt, I am sure a hundred other analysts would have said opposite.

No offense to these who made predictions but it is not really that impressive to guess bitcoin could reach $125k this year. A lot of people in the forum also have predicted that. I would only be impressed if they accurately predicted when exactly would bitcoin have reached a specific price. Like saying that bitcoin would reach $125k on the month of October. A lot of people also broadly guessed that bitcoin would reach $100k this year and they were right but it is like a given already.

I'm not trying to nitpick, but those articles were written after the bull cycle during 2020 - 2021, and after the bear cycle of 2022. It was already obvious for some people in BitcoinTalk that six a digit price valuation was going to happen during the next bull cycle. I believe that, currently, the people ho have good foresight are those people who could see and say that Bitcoin could surpass the total market value of Gold after three bull cycles.

For now, the price hasn't risen significantly. Most people believe the momentum will continue upward, and major institutions or investors haven't yet entered the market. This information is certainly interesting. Previously, the chief strategist of the asset class twice predicted a BTC price of $44,000 in 2023, and today it has reached the price he said was $125,000. It seems likely that this figure will continue to rise. By 2026, it will rise to $175,000. Some perspectives suggest that the previous two points are included, but the greatest emphasis is on more crypto-friendly regulations and the adoption of ETFs, supported by positive macroeconomic data, unaffected by geopolitical pressures. To follow whoever is best, the choice remains diverse. Stay where you're comfortable and only take action from people you trust, such as price signals, and wisely correlate your own market direction.

Easy for companies to change the price of bitcoin on the market, they have a way to do it, because the price of bitcoin is highly influenced by buyers so they can predict prices for certain months. What if you see the Bitcoin prediction table here: (BTC) Price Prediction For Today, Tomorrow and Next 30 Days, Do you think it makes sense for the next 30 days. I am sure that if the company and government have entered the Bitcoin market, for me there is no doubt the price of Bitcoin in the future continues to rise, unless they attract everything.

You don't have to give much thought to someone predicting the Bitcoin price at a particular time and season because they get that(price) correctly by guessing, so as some of us are predicting that Bitcoin will have an ATH of $150k. If it happens that way, Bitcoin will land at $150k this year, will you trust us to give a correct analysis of the Bitcoin price any time, any day? No, you won't because the future price of Bitcoin is unknown so it's her market

Okay, so that second guy guessed $125k by the close of 2024, but he got it wrong.  He nailed the price, but missed the timing by a whole year.  Anyone can throw out guesses like that, and if you keep it within a likely range, you are bound to be right eventually.   But it doesnt mean any of us have a crystal ball, and it definitely doesnt guarantee you will be right the next time.

There are thousands of people who predict the top of bitcoin price every year and it is obvious that somebody would get it right. Could be luck or could be right timing but it doesn't necessarily mean that they will get it right the next time too. According to me, we might see bitcoin topping around $150k - $160k by the end of this year.

Everyone who is in this forum has made predictions about the price of Bitcoin because we are often involved in predictions every time there is a discussion that concerns Bitcoin. Similarly, about some people who have companies that might make predictions for Bitcoin price movements at certain times and I don't think are more accurate but what patterns they use in price predictions. Many people on social media that I follow make price predictions but I always study how they make these predictions and use certain fundamental indicators and techniques. This aims to make me personally get more insight into certain patterns and strategies when making predictions based on these indicators. I myself have predicted that Bitcoin will reach $150,000 before closing the year and let's see whether the price of Bitcoin will be touched at that price or not later at the end of the year.

EXACT price points at any given time will be unknown, BUT if you zoom out and put the growth of the M2 Money Supply into consideration, THEN it's known. It might be a mistake if I say it will surge to a seven digit price valuation within "X" years, because it might not surge to that price-point within that given timeframe. BUT I'm confident that it WILL go to that price-point. Perhaps sooner than "X" years, or perhaps later.

Fiat will still be flawed as it is now and still be printed like crazy: thus, it is certain that what you said will probably happen, sooner or later. All we need to know is that BTC is going through any storms unscathed ideals-wise

As I recall, there was a forum member who made a Bitcoin price prediction by displaying a price chart, and it was a good way to analyze the price. I didn't do that because many people dislike making price predictions, including me, and I'm also one of the Bitcoin price optimists. At this point, I've reached the point where I no longer pay attention to price charts, as I've decided that ups and downs are a normal part of Bitcoin's price. $125,000 has been reached, and the $130,000 predictions and analyses they've made will also happen, and possibly even more. It's just a matter of when that time will come.

I too thought we would go there and beyond, imo, to 150k or somewhere even higher, and I didn't really look at when it may happen - it would anyway during this cycle or the next one.

Just because they have made some accurate bitcoin predictions in the past does not mean they will be accurate with their predictions in the future. We should know that the future is unpredictable, no one has a crystal ball to do that. We are all the same, we can all make predictions, and they may or may not be correct. So make your own predictions instead of depending on anyone. Think about it, if they could accurately predict the future price of bitcoin, they would probably have invested in it from the beginning and become rich, even the richest person in the world. But look, they even invested in bitcoin after us.

We are on a bull run again, thankfully people can be hopeful about it because there was a moment where it dropped under 110k where people were losing hopes and thinking that bear run has started. But thankfully we are doing fine right now and not there anymore and can assume that we are doing more. If we can make it work somehow then we could possibly see this as a benefit and could profit from it. We should give it some time and should be able to actually see bull is around the corner. It already started, breaking over the all time high and we still have some more room to grow as well. I have trust that 130k+ will be seen this month, and maybe more later on as well if we just give it some time and not give up.
