Wall Street\u2019s year-end Bitcoin forecasts range from $133,000 to as high as $200,000.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Most agree that persistent Bitcoin ETF inflows and gold correlation may shoot BTC to new record highs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Bitcoin has bounced by over 13% in the past seven days and is inching toward its record high of $124,500.<\/p>\n

Citigroup sees BTC reaching $133,000<\/h2>\n
Citigroup expects Bitcoin to end 2025 at around $133,000, setting a new record high. That implies a relatively modest 8.75% upside from current price levels at around $122,350.<\/p>\n

As of Saturday, all US-based Bitcoin ETFs were managing over $163.50 billion in BTC. Citi estimates that fresh ETF inflows will be about $7.5 billion by year-end, helping to sustain demand.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan analysts: Bitcoin to $165,000 in 2025<\/h2>\n
Bitcoin remains undervalued relative to gold when adjusted for volatility, according to a team of JPMorgan Chase strategists led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou.<\/p>\n
The Bitcoin-to-gold volatility ratio has dropped below 2.0, meaning Bitcoin now absorbs about 1.85 times more risk capital than gold, they wrote in the latest report published on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Gold, often viewed as Bitcoin\u2019s traditional macro counterpart, is up roughly 48% year-to-date, putting it on track for its best annual performance since 1979.<\/p>\n

This is a level that historically preceded deep, multiyear corrections of 40\u201360%. Therefore, gold\u2019s uptrend may lose steam in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, BTC has shown an 8-week lagging correlation with gold in recent years, further reinforcing JPMorgan\u2019s outlook for a year-end Bitcoin rally if capital rotates from the precious metal.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered leads with a bold $200,000 call<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Standard Chartered remains the most optimistic among major banks, predicting Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by December.<\/p>\n
Like Citigroup and JPMorgan, the bank\u2019s analysts cite sustained ETF inflows\u2014averaging over $500 million per week\u2014as a key driver that could lift Bitcoin\u2019s total market capitalization closer to $4 trillion.<\/p>\n

VanEck sees Bitcoin climbing to $180,000 in 2025<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Asset manager VanEck projects that Bitcoin could reach around $180,000 by 2025, citing post-halving cycle dynamics.<\/p>\n
The firm argues that the April 2024 halving has set the stage for a supply squeeze, with ETF demand and digital asset treasuries providing the structural fuel for the next leg of the upward trend.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin\u2019s performance since the halving is once again mirroring previous four-year cycles, as shown in the chart below.<\/p>\n

As of Saturday, it has been 533 days since the halving, placing it firmly within the historical window for big rallies.<\/p>\n
Saad Ahmed, Gemini\u2019s head of APAC, told Cointelegraph that Bitcoin\u2019s cycle could extend beyond that range, noting that its four-year rhythm is \u201cdriven more by human emotion than pure math\u201d and will \u201cvery likely continue in some form\u201d into 2026.<\/p>\n
