$200,000 BTC Goal Unlikely In 2025
“The subsequent bull market in Bitcoin ought to take us to $200,000 or so. That needs to be in round Q3 2029,” he wrote in a Nov. 21 submit on X.
Regardless of his somewhat bearish projection, Brandt careworn that he’s nonetheless a “long-term bull on Bitcoin.”
Bitcoin was buying and selling palms round $85,105 at press time and is down 32.8% from its all-time excessive above $126,000 reached in October 2025. Including strain to the market decline is souring market sentiment, pushed partly by diminished institutional demand.
The 11 U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have collectively seen report withdrawals of $3.79 billion in November, surpassing February’s earlier peak of $3.56 billion.
 
However in keeping with Brandt, the current crypto sell-off might be a mere dip inside a long-term uptrend. Actually, he described the present drawdown as a wholesome growth for BTC.
“This dumping is the most effective factor that would occur to Bitcoin,” Brandt opined.
Different Pundits Disagree
Brandt’s prediction contrasts considerably with current requires stratospheric upside. Only in the near past, distinguished Bitcoin advocates claimed the highest crypto may nonetheless attain $250,000 earlier than year-end.
In August, for example, Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson reckoned Bitcoin was headed to $250,000 through the present bull cycle, citing BTC-based decentralized finance (DeFi) because the “large driver” for the asset’s projected parabolic progress.
And in early June, billionaire investor Tim Draper reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin would high $250K this 12 months.
In the meantime, some analysts aren’t that involved about what Bitcoin’s value finally ends up being by the top of 2025.
“Anybody who thinks Bitcoin has to peak in This fall of this 12 months doesn’t perceive statistics or chance. The halving is totally irrelevant at this level, and there may be zero elementary cause—apart from a psychological, self-fulfilling prophecy — for the height to happen in This fall 2025,” mentioned PlanC on X.
