TL;DR
- Bitcoin’s price skyrocketed beyond $110,000 for the first time ever, and the community was quick to pull out the big prediction guns and lay out the next impressive targets.
- Since the tweet below, BTC’s price has risen even further, and its market cap is well beyond $2.2 trillion. Its realized cap has also been on the rise consistently in the past several weeks.
After 121 days, #Bitcoin has broken its all-time high, also setting records in its market capitalization and realized cap:

$150K or $200K Next?
It took just over four months, but bitcoin managed to do what many thought was impossible just 45 days ago when its price slumped beneath $75,000 and broke its January all-time high of over $109,000. In the following hours, it retraced hard to $106,000, but the bulls took over once again and sent it flying to almost $112,000, which is the current peak.
This puts the asset in a price discovery mode, which means a couple of things: 1) all investors are in profit, and 2) there are no historic resistances ahead. Consequently, many popular analysts took the opportunity to outline the next price targets, starting with Ali Martinez. His most optimistic version sees BTC skyrocketing to almost $150,000.
#Bitcoin $BTC is trading at new all-time highs, entering price discovery. The next key levels to watch are $116,000, $126,000, $136,000, and $148,000! pic.twitter.com/yh3ShJ5X59

Stockmoney Lizards was a bit more bullish, as they highlighted the possibility of a short squeeze, which can result in an even bigger price surge for BTC of up to $200,000.
is about to break its old all time high!
Be prepared for an epic short squeeze.. Even if we see a short term rejection / fakeout at ATH, this will be just market maker games.
The path is clear.
– 160k (1.618 FE, conservative target)
– 200k (2.618 FE, optimistic… pic.twitter.com/80vH2WN7K4— Stockmoney Lizards (@StockmoneyL) May 21, 2025
But a Pullback?
Despite the predominantly bullish sentiment across the entire community, there are still some who believe in the old saying – what goes up, must come down. The Wolf of All Streets is still bullish and wants to “fomo on the bitcoin price actions,” but warned that multiple technical indicators have screamed a retracement is on its way. However, he admitted that these indicators have often been wrong in the past.
Every part of me wants to fomo on the Bitcoin price action, but every technical indicator that I have used for years (often wrong, like any other predictor) is screaming retracement.
Tough to be human.
