Regarding the future trend of Bitcoin, many leading institutions have recently shared their views.

Currently, most institutions believe that in the short term (within 1 month), Bitcoin will continue to fluctuate between $85,000 and $95,000. However, by the end of the year, it is likely to reach around $95,000.

Looking further ahead, Citibank's basic expectation is $143,000, with an optimistic scenario reaching $189,000, and a pessimistic scenario dropping back to $78,000. JPMorgan's prediction is slightly more aggressive, expecting it to reach $170,000. Standard Chartered has set a target of $150,000 by 2026.

The truly imaginative forecasts are for the long term—Galaxy Digital is optimistic about reaching $250,000 by the end of 2027, while Standard Chartered has set a target of $500,000 by 2030. This range is quite broad, indicating that the market's recognition of Bitcoin's long-term potential is indeed increasing.

$500,000? This prediction from Standard Chartered is really bold, but I like it. --- I believe in short-term volatility, but can the end-of-year target of 95,000 really be reached? Seems a bit like gambling. --- The pessimistic line of 78,000 from Citibank is indeed frightening, but it doesn't seem very likely. --- 2027 at 250,000 and 2030 at 500,000—such a wide range is indeed outrageous. Anyway, I'm following the institutions' lead. --- The 170,000 prediction from JPMorgan is actually quite conservative? Why are these two major banks so different? --- Honestly, with institutions so optimistic now, it makes me a bit nervous. Could it be a reverse operation? --- A long-term bullish consensus is forming. Short-term fluctuations and shakeouts shouldn't be overthought. --- Do you believe these predictions? I just buy and hold once I’m confident. Don’t ask me; I’m a long-term believer.

Institutions' numbers are more outrageous each time. Citi's 189,000 is still considered optimistic, while Standard Chartered directly predicts 500,000 by 2030. The gap is quite significant. --- Short-term fluctuations between 8.5k and 9.5k? Then holding my position for a month must be really tough. --- $500,000... easy to say, but I don't know how many crashes I'll have to endure by that day. --- JPMorgan 170,000, Galaxy 250,000, Standard Chartered 500,000. Why are these predictions so exaggerated? Anyone who believes them gets cut. --- The recognition of long-term potential is rising, right? Then why am I still so anxious? --- These big banks' predictions are always different. It's almost more satisfying to flip a coin. --- Ending the year around 95,000 is probably enough. Everything beyond that is too unrealistic. --- From 7.8k to 500,000, such a span... just shows that the market doesn't know anything.

I'm tired of hearing the short-term volatility rhetoric. The key question is whether there is a story behind the 2027-2030 cycle. The jump from 250,000 to 500,000 is indeed a bit exaggerated. The institutions are all just talking about their own dreams. End-of-year 95,000? I'll believe it for now, since the idle funds have already been invested. This wave is really a bit different; at least the recognition is indeed increasing. Citigroup's pessimistic forecast of 78,000 is really heartbreaking. If that's the case, those who bought in earlier must be feeling very uncomfortable. Standard Chartered's 500,000 target feels like just storytelling, but in the long run, it's not entirely impossible. With institutions so unanimously bullish, are they genuinely optimistic or just following the trend and betting?

Here come a bunch of predictions, anyway, a 95,000 target by the end of the year is highly probable.

$500,000 in 2030, it sounds a bit outrageous but somehow I want to believe it? --- Short-term volatility is really annoying. It’s better to just sleep until 2027 and wake up. --- Citibank’s $78,000—who are they trying to scare... --- So many institutions are optimistic. It feels like a bubble is brewing. --- Galaxy’s prediction is a bit crazy, I like it. --- Can it really reach 9.5 by the end of the year? I can't bet that big. --- $500,000 is just a dream, wake up everyone. --- Are Standard Chartered’s numbers really that bold?
