Analyst Expects Bitcoin To Reach $156,000 By May 2025
Its price swings keep investors intrigued by Bitcoin. However, Cryptorphic, a notable crypto analyst, says the future may be better than recent falls imply.
The historical halving underpins Cryptorphic's projection. The quantity of Bitcoins for mining new blocks halves every four years. This decreases the quantity of new coins, which may raise their price.
His research of historical halvings shows a remarkable tendency. Bitcoin's price soared 8,300% after the 2012 halving. The second half in 2016 showed a smaller but still significant 288% growth. The 2020 halving caused a 540% increase in a year.
After the fourth halving in April, Cryptorphic anticipates a 130% price increase next year. This costs between $115,000 and $156,000.
Despite the bright forecast, the research admits short-term volatility. Bitcoin has dropped 5% from its high. However, Cryptorphic finds the “inverse head and shoulders” pattern, signaling a price breakout.
A broader market view
The analyst presents opposing views. Others are more cautiously optimistic about the immediate future. They recognize shrinking negative situations and think the market may turn positive sooner than Cryptorphic predicted.

This indicates more growth until 2025, although both experts stress the necessity of risk management.
Bitcoin has risen 144% in a year. With increases surpassing Ethereum and 58% of the top 100 crypto assets, it has performed admirably. This large gain shows the asset's market strength and investor confidence.
Bullish momentum is seen when the asset trades above its 200-day simple moving average. High liquidity and a large market value boost investor interest.
