Bitcoin Price Forecast – Analysts Talk About $160,000.
Crypto market analysts believe that Bitcoin may update its historical maximum and grow to $160,000–170,000. They made this forecast based on previous market cycles: in previous years (2013, 2017, and 2021), BTC growth followed a similar pattern — by the end of the year, the price sharply went up.
According to the charts provided by analysts, the growth curve is gradually “compressing”. This means that volatility is decreasing, and peak values are becoming more predictable. If the pattern continues, the next maximum is expected at the end of 2025, and then a decline will begin in 2026.
What the experts say about Bitcoin
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of the BitMEX exchange and head of the Maelstrom fund, is confident that the current “bull market” will last until 2026. He believes that long-term factors such as fiscal stimulus and interest from large financial players will push Bitcoin up.
Hayes advises investors not to panic and short-term price fluctuations, but to hold BTC for the long term. He also predicts that US policy under President Donald Trump could further heat up the market by stimulating the economy.
How Altcoins Behave
While Bitcoin is holding at around $116,000, traders’ activity in altcoins is growing faster. According to CryptoQuant, open interest in altcoins has reached $69.18 billion, which is significantly more than Bitcoin ($41.49 billion).
This shows that some capital is flowing into Ethereum, Solana, and other coins, and traders are betting on a sharp rise in “alts”. This behavior is usually characteristic of the active phase of the bull market.
