Bitcoin recently surged to a fresh all-time high, igniting discussions about where the next move could take the market. With analysts pointing to strong ETF inflows and a weakening U.S. dollar, attention is now shifting toward the $150,000 mark as the next major target.
Aiming for $150K After the Record
Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto noted that Bitcoin’s rally to $125,700 signals the start of a new leg higher. According to the analyst, the impulsive move above previous highs sets the stage for a climb beyond $150,000.
However, CrediBULL highlighted the possibility of short-term pullbacks, suggesting that the $108,000–$118,000 zone could serve as a healthy correction level. “If we get dips into that range, they’re buying opportunities. If not, enjoy the ride to $150K and beyond,” the analyst said.
Veteran trader Crypto Chase echoed the sentiment, emphasizing that if Bitcoin remains strong, corrections are likely to be shallow and temporary.
Bitcoin as a Safe Haven Amid U.S. Government Turmoil
The rally has also been fueled by macroeconomic developments, including the U.S. government shutdown that began on October 1. Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE exchange, explained that investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset, turning away from the U.S. dollar and Treasurys.
The U.S. dollar has been facing one of its worst years in decades, with the Dollar Index dropping over 12% since the start of 2025. Analysts suggest that further interest rate cuts could accelerate the dollar’s decline, making Bitcoin an attractive alternative.
ETF Inflows Driving Momentum
A key driver behind Bitcoin’s explosive move has been the surge in spot Bitcoin ETF inflows. Last week alone, these funds recorded $3.2 billion in new capital, marking their second-strongest week since launch.
Industry observers note that these inflows represent a significant rotation of capital from commodities and small-cap equities into Bitcoin, providing a steady stream of liquidity for the crypto market.
Seasonal Strength Supports the Bullish Case
History also appears to be on Bitcoin’s side. The fourth quarter has traditionally been a strong period for the asset, with October producing positive returns in 10 out of the past 12 years.
“Climbing from $110K to $125K in just a week shows incredible strength,” said analyst Michaël van de Poppe, underscoring the bullish momentum.
Similarly, Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, predicted that Bitcoin’s breakout above $120,000 could lead to a “very quick move” toward the $150,000 level.
