According to a report from Cointelegraph, economist Timothy Peterson has raised his forecasts regarding Bitcoin ($BTC ) reaching its all-time high within the next hundred days, affirming his optimism about the currency's performance in 2025. In his analysis published on platform X, Peterson linked Bitcoin's price movement to the VIX volatility index, which reflects market expectations in terms of stability or tension over a short period. He noted that the index has decreased from 55 to 25 over the last 50 trading days, indicating a state of relative calm.

When the index drops below 18, it is considered a signal for markets to enter a "calculated risk" mode, which is an ideal environment for Bitcoin to rise. According to Peterson's model, which has an accuracy exceeding 95%, Bitcoin could reach $135,000 if this trend continues.

For his part, Jurrien Timmer, director of global macroeconomics at Fidelity, compared Bitcoin to the character "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", due to its dual role as a store of value and a speculative asset. He explained that Bitcoin's performance is heavily influenced by the movement of the money supply and stock markets, in contrast to gold, which remains more stable.
