Crypto Expert Predicts BTC ATH $140,000

The crypto community is locked in constant debates over bullish or bearish outcomes for this year. At the moment, the popular bearish outlook is that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) will go on to bottom this year, likely between the $35,000 – $40,000 price range. This expectation has gained a lot more confidence since the October 2025 market crash, where $20 billion was liquidated in one fell swoop from the crypto market.

As for altcoin expectations in a bear market scenario, while there are some expectations for a few potent altcoins to surge, the pump is not expected to be very high, and an inevitable fall to smaller targets is expected. In contrast, bullish expectations are just as strong, most of which is fueled by the 5-year supercycle theory. This theory is presented by financial experts like Raoul Pal, who believe the bull market will experience a continued extension.

This expectation comes from the business cycle being extended and a call for liquidity to flow into the crypto market in troves. Based on this bullish model, a few bull analysts are certain that the price of Bitcoin BTC will surge over the coming months, leading to new ATH prices, starting with targets as high as $140,000. In the same line, an altseason peak phase is expected to follow through.

XRP ATH $9.38 Expected By Year End

Expectations for altcoins to bull a bullish price surge are very strong, especially for highly potent altcoin assets, whose blockchains have hit several promising milestones since the last bull cycle. These promising altcoins include Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), and Ripple’s XRP. In detail, XRP was expected to hit double-digit ATH targets during altseason, a possibility that is still being debated.
