I think the predictions of several experts including JP Morgan who predict the price of bitcoin to break through $146,000 will most likely happen next year. Moreover, the price of bitcoin is strengthening significantly. In fact, in this year the price has twice broken all-time highs.
Bitcoin has reached new ATH twice this year, indeed the opportunity for Bitcoin to reach that price is very wide open, but on the other hand for now it is impossible for bitcoin to reach that price, even though bitcoin is currently in a good trend, and I'm not sure that will happen this year, considering that $146,000 is not the best price for bitcoin right now and it is very difficult to reach that number.
It's probably difficult but you can never say it's impossible for bitcoin to hit that price as one big piece of news would likely cause another huge run that people will once again FOMO and bitcoin will reach a new ATH. The period is short as we only have more than 1 year to finish the year but since we are in crypto where it's very unpredictable, believe that anything could happen despite a short period of time.
I'm sure bitcoin will experience a new ATH, but not at such a high price, it's true that anything can happen in crypto, but what happens is a preparatory scheme carried out by people who have authority, nothing happens naturally in crypto there must be a reason affect it, and if the bitcoin price is that high, then the big investor game is very much decided and whether this can happen in such a short time, given that the end of the year is only a few days away.
