Bitcoin has just broken new ground, soaring past $120,000 today—recently hitting a record high of $122,571 and currently trading around $122.4 K . The catalyst? A perfect storm of strong institutional demand, regulatory optimism in the U.S. (including upcoming “crypto week” legislative action), and vocal support from high-profile figures like former President Trump—dubbed the “crypto president” .
🎯 Will BTC hit $125K next?
• Analyst sentiment: IG Markets’ Tony Sycamore notes the momentum is strong enough to challenge the $125K level . Similarly, technical analysts forecast a breakout beyond $120K could extend gains toward $123K–$125K, with $130K the next psychological target .
• ETF and macro drivers: Ongoing inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and expectations of a U.S. rate cut are fuelling optimism—CryptoPotato cites uptrend toward $120K and beyond, supported by rising on-chain metrics and steady Supertrend indicators .
• Upside forecasts: 10x Research sees a path to $130K–$150K by year-end, while Bitwise’s CIO projects potential to $200K .
⚠️ What could curb the rally?
• A pullback below $113K–$114K may trigger short-term profit taking, potentially dropping prices toward $110K–$112K range .
• Overbought technical indicators around $120K could lead to consolidation before further upside .
🔍 Bottom line
• Current status: 🚀 BTC just hit $122K+, setting sights on $125K as the next hurdle.
• Bull case: Fueled by institutional flows (ETFs), legislative tailwinds during U.S. “crypto week”, and geopolitical/fiscal concerns.
• Key levels:
• Resistance: $125K (short-term), $130K+ (broader rally).
• Support: $117K–$120K zone, then $113K–$114K backing.
