Analysis: Bitcoin could hit $500K by year-end

A recent analysis suggests Bitcoin (BTC) could explode to as high as $500,000 by year-end, Cointelegraph reported. Anonymous crypto analyst apsk32 points to BTC’s position over two years ahead of its long-term power curve trendline, a mathematical model tracking Bitcoin’s exponential growth, as a key indicator. This places BTC in the “extreme greed” zone, historically associated with euphoric peaks in 2013, 2017 and 2021. If the four-year cycle repeats, apsk32 expects BTC to reach $200,000 to $300,000 by Christmas before momentum fades in early 2026. Similarly, Satraj Bambra, CEO of perpetual trading platform Rails, sees macroeconomic shifts as potential catalysts for further gains in 2025. He highlights an expanding U.S. Federal Reserve balance sheet, a pivot to lower interest rates and a falling U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) as signals of renewed stimulus and risk-on sentiment—factors that could send BTC soaring to $300,000–$500,000.
