Dan Tapiero predicts that a weakening dollar will be very bullish for Bitcoin (and gold) over the medium term.
“I suspect the dollar keeps going down. I think this is going to be very bullish for us over the medium term. Gold and Bitcoin.”
Made 2026-02-27 at $65,860; BTC rallied to $82,814 (+26%) then reversed below entry to $58,161 — mixed medium-term outcome.

The negative crypto sentiment in February 2026 means a sharp upside reversal ('face ripper') is due soon.
“Today most negative sentiment have "felt" since last bear mkt. Eth Denver reports so bad almost funny. Well known crytpo guys giving up. Alts all dead "forever." Btc lost digital gold narrative. Nothing left now. Shorts bragging/talking 45k. Etc. We're due a face ripper.”
Made 2026-02-20 at $67,984 calling a 'face ripper'; a sharp reversal up to $82,814 (+21.8%) materialized soon after.

Bitcoin is likely at or near a macro bottom, with multiple indicators aligning for the next up-cycle.
“From a macro standpoint I can't remember too many times where it's been so clear that btc has bottomed. Usd drop, gold and silver leading, us rates about to drop with new chairman, ndx breaking up to new highs....”
Made 2026-01-28 at $89,162 calling a macro bottom; high since only $90,477, then fell to $58,000 — bottom was not in.

Amid the early-2026 sell-off Tapiero characterized the decline as 'just a correction … the bottom is in,' reaffirming a $180,000 target for the current cycle.
“This is just a correction … the bottom is in.”

In a Cointelegraph interview Tapiero said Bitcoin 'is on track to reach $180,000 as part of its current bull cycle' and the 'bull market remains intact,' while warning of a possible later drawdown: 'I'm not saying we're going to go down 90%. I'm saying we can go down 70%.'
“Bitcoin is on track to reach $180,000 as part of its current bull cycle ... I'm saying we can go down 70%.”
Made 2025-11-11 at $103,009; high since only $107,482, then crashed to $58,000 — $180k not reached and bull market did not stay intact.

An imminent liquidity expansion will give bitcoin its next leg up.
“Gold on verge of upward explosion after months of sideways consolidation. Chart looks awesome. Targets 3700+. 2yrs at 3.65% and heading lower helpful. On brink of liquidity expansion...will give bitcoin and ethereum next leg up. Alts going to join this party finally. 🚀 🚀 https://t.co/PoGRkQpVRN”

On X, Tapiero called a 'Textbook cup and handle' and predicted that a 'Break of 115k goes to 150k quickly,' with potential to reach $180,000 in the current bull rally (BTC then ~$107k).

Bitcoin to $180k within 12 months as liquidity returns.
“Forward market inflation indicators collapsing into danger zone. Fed doesn't need to be "obvious" data dependent (Kevin Warsh). Data here clear as day. Liquidity spigot coming as real rates too restrictive given fiscal tightening. ++bitcoin/gold/ndx, -usd 180k btc in 12mo. https://t.co/CK1LYS0Gv9”

After some chop near $100k, bitcoin will be a lot higher in the weeks to come as sentiment improves.
“So why is this so important? Bitcoin is near 100k and sentiment this bad suggests that when it improves in weeks to come btc will be a lot higher. Might still need to chop around near 100k to frustrate the impatient ones. But then hold on to your seats for 🚀 🚀 🚀 https://t.co/7T8voRewq9”
From $97,444 BTC first fell to $76,252 (4/8/25) over the 'weeks to come'; it did reach $126,296 by 10/6 within the 9-month horizon — right direction, wrong near-term timing.

Bitcoin to $200k in 2025 is doable as liquidity is unleashed.

Central-bank liquidity should drive bitcoin to new all-time highs.

As US short rates collapse, bitcoin will launch higher.
“Massive collapse coming now in US 2Yr. Heading sub 3%. Yes, higher for longer was right in '22-'23-24. But now that's over. World economy buckling. #China deflating. #BITCOIN will launch. Would already be over 100k with lower rates. Old Macro about to kick in. Hold tight. https://t.co/cTAQvritCn”

Tapiero said Bitcoin 'could easily see a price close to $200,000' and that a repeat of the prior bear-to-peak run (~20x) could push it 'even higher toward the $300,000 mark,' broadly 'over the next 18 to 24 months and it could be sooner,' driven by spot ETFs and the halving.

“This bull mkt does not end with 82% of those surveyed by Morgan Stanley saying they do not own cryptocurrency. Tiny long exposure in btc and eth vs '22. All of these metrics will make new highs in price and ownership during this cycle. 2026 will be a boom year. https://t.co/P5QaGFfd5E”
