Expects BTC to trade between $100,000 and $150,000 over the next several months (2x to 3x the ~$50,000 realized price).
“is $150,000. So I would expect the price to be between $100,000 and $150,000 here over the next several months. As that $50,000 realized price goes to $80,000, then the range then moves from, you know, to $160,000 to $240,000 and that we're oscillating. Now, if you go from $240,000 to 160,000, that's a pullback of 33%. That could happen even over a year. And it still wouldn't be this previous,”
BTC fell to $80,525 in [2025-07-25..2026-01-25], below the $100,000 floor.

Nik Bhatia predicts a rotation of roughly $6 trillion from stocks and bonds into Bitcoin, which would bring Bitcoin to approximately $300,000.
“I see a rotation out of the 150 trillion of stocks and bonds into Bitcoin alongside money market funds so that they'll have this cash pool in money market fund shares of six trillion and this Bitcoin cash pool of six trillion. And, you know, that gets Bitcoin to 300K.”
