Citi's $143,000 forecast looks quite eye-catching, a 62% increase. But I’ve always viewed institutional predictions with a grain of salt—three price ranges are laid out: baseline, pessimistic, and optimistic forecasts, which essentially cover different possibilities. The true boundary is the $70,000 support level.

The key still depends on current ETF demand and policy expectations. If the US indeed advances legislation on digital assets, this catalyst should not be underestimated. But from a trading perspective, institutional bullishness and retail follow-the-leader are two different things. More importantly, observe how top traders are positioning themselves.

Recently, I’ve followed a few aggressive traders. Their actions around the $88,000 level are worth noting—some are gradually building positions, others are waiting for a pullback. That’s the real market temperature. My strategy is to split positions for copy trading: let the aggressive traders run with their positions, while I use conservative positions to support the bottom. Always set stop-losses below $70,000—this is the bottom line.

Citi’s forecast is just for reference; practice makes perfect. Keep observing and wait for signals.
