After Bitcoin recorded a rise of approximately 30% during the past week, analysts began directing their attention toward their predictions for BTC prices at year end. Here are the views of 9 analysts on the matter:

1. Lennix Lai — OKX

Prediction: More than $100,000

Lennix Lai, Chief Commercial Officer at OKX, believes that Bitcoin will exceed the $100,000 threshold, but warns about macroeconomic uncertainty, especially regarding tariff reforms and potential inflationary pressures that could affect the pace of the rise.

2. Tony Sycamore — IG Markets

Prediction: Low to mid $90,000s

Tony Sycamore, analyst at IG Markets, is somewhat more cautious, suggesting Bitcoin is likely to settle in the low to mid $90,000 range by year end. He believes that most of the good news has already been priced in, and expects rotation into alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins).

3. Josh Gilbert — eToro

Prediction: $100,000

Josh Gilbert, market analyst at eToro, predicts Bitcoin will reach $100,000 by year end, citing four main drivers: Trump's election victory, interest rate cuts, a strong US economy, and growing institutional interest in Bitcoin.

Gilbert also warns that Bitcoin may take a "rest" at some point, but believes the trend is too strong to ignore, comparing it to a "freight train" that is difficult to stop.

4. Ki Young Ju — CryptoQuant

Prediction: $58,974 (Bearish)

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, is the most pessimistic among the analysts. He believes that Bitcoin's on-chain data shows excessive derivatives activity and overheating price discovery, which could lead to a significant correction back to the $58,974 level.

5. Pav Hundal — SwyftX

Prediction: $103,000

Pav Hundal, lead analyst at SwyftX, sets a slightly higher target than the psychological $100,000 level, at $103,000. He bases his prediction on Fibonacci extension analysis applied to previous cycle highs and lows.

6. Guy Armoni — HDI Fund

Prediction: Around $100,000 — and potentially $250,000 in 2025

Guy Armoni, managing partner at HDI Fund, expects Bitcoin to reach around $100,000 by year end, and sees potential for it to reach $250,000 during the 2025 bull market if conditions remain favorable.

7. Matti Greenspan — Quantum Economics

Prediction: Continued outperformance

Matti Greenspan, founder of Quantum Economics, believes Bitcoin will continue to outperform other assets. He notes that bull markets historically last for a decade, and criticizes those who act as if the current bull market will end in just a month.

8. Ben Simpson — Collective Shift

Prediction: $100,000

Ben Simpson, founder of Collective Shift, predicts Bitcoin will reach $100,000 by year end, driven by the combination of limited supply and increasing demand. He also points to the possibility of quantitative easing (QE) as an additional factor that could boost Bitcoin's price.

9. Tom Wan — Independent Analyst

Prediction: $80,000–$95,000, then potentially higher

Tom Wan, an independent crypto analyst, provides a more nuanced range of $80,000 to $95,000 in the near term, with the possibility of higher levels afterward. He highlights the $100,000 psychological resistance level and points to record open interest in Bitcoin futures as a potential headwind for rapid upward movement.

In summary, the majority of analysts lean toward a bullish scenario for Bitcoin by year end, with $100,000 being the most frequently mentioned target, while some caution about macroeconomic risks and a potential correction before reaching that level.
