Analysts at 10x Research have made a significant prediction that Bitcoin’s price may reach $160,000 by the end of 2025. This view is based on market data analysis and investor behavior.
Bitcoin Price Forecast to $160,000
Analyst Markus Thielen from 10x Research predicts that Bitcoin's price could hit $133,000 following a breakout signal in early July. He notes that such breakouts typically result in a 20% gain over two months. A short-term consolidation is expected before BTC advances to the $160,000 target. The increase in purchases by corporate and institutional investors, who have bought $15 billion in Bitcoin ETFs over the last six to eight weeks, supports this prediction.
Return of Retail Investors
After Bitcoin reached a new all-time high above $123,000, the rally was supported not only by whales but also by an increase in interest from retail and high net worth individuals, particularly during Asian market hours. The 10x Research report confirmed a structural shift in Bitcoin’s investor base towards institutional buyers, including ETFs and corporations. CryptoQuant data indicated that retail investors have begun to return, with demand for small transfer volumes increasing over the past week.
Price Rally Confirmation After $135,000
Other notable analysts, such as Peter Brandt and representatives from Standard Chartered, have also set price targets for Bitcoin at around $135,000. These expectations arose after a bull flag pattern breakout on the daily BTC chart. Market confidence is supported by fiat money inflows into Bitcoin. Observers noted that if the total inflow amounts to another $400 billion, Bitcoin’s price could reach $444,000.
Analysts' predictions for Bitcoin are supported by growing interest from both corporate and retail investors. If the bullish trend continues, the price could significantly rise, reaching the projected levels by the end of 2025.
