At the same time, 60% of Polymarket prediction market users are confident that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 in May 2025.
BTC has enough 'reasons' for breaking 'the hundred'. Among them, the growing shortage of BTC on exchanges, institutional interest in crypto, Trump's lobbying for pro-cryptocurrency initiatives in the U.S., and the movement of authorities in several countries towards forming cryptocurrency reserves can be highlighted.
What will happen after Bitcoin returns to $100,000
Opinions of participants in the crypto community about what will happen to the market in the event of Bitcoin breaking the $100,000 level again are divided. Here are the most popular theories.
1. Alt season will begin.
Many participants in the crypto community suggest that against the backdrop of Bitcoin returning to levels above $100,000, investor attention will shift towards altcoins. Many alternative coins, unlike BTC, have not yet managed to update their all-time highs, which has become a subject of jokes. Ethereum takes the most heat, as its weakness in the cycle following the 2024 halving surprised even the most ardent fans of the project.
2. New BTC highs.
Some representatives of the crypto industry believe that with Bitcoin's recovery above $100,000, the path for the coin's price to new all-time highs will be opened. If the assumptions are correct, the alt season will have to wait, as BTC tends to draw the lion's share of market liquidity during periods of rapid growth. Analysts believe that the target for Bitcoin's growth could be $125,000.
3. The start of a new phase of Bitcoin accumulation.
Analyst Doctor Profit believes that Bitcoin's return to levels above $100,000 is inevitable. In his opinion, investors have about a year to seize the last opportunities to buy cryptocurrency below 'the hundred'. After that, as the analyst believes, BTC will never drop below $100,000 again.
