Different people will have different expectations for Bitcoin, some expect $250K, some expect $500K, some expect $1M, but the truth is that everything is unpredictable, the market moves at its own pace, short-term volatility is very intense, but you definitely have to think long-term. Bitcoin gains value over time, so completely abandon your panicked attitude due to short-term volatility, if you really want to achieve something good from Bitcoin. The market will never stop at one level, the future of Bitcoin is bright.
What makes the difference in all of these is the time these expectations are to come to reality. Bitcoin will definitely crush many numbers upward in this market cycle and in subsequent market cycles but we cannot know how high it will go this one and in the next one, all we can do is predict and help it happens as predicted. It is even more confused now that it is looking like Bitcoin have exhausted its energy for the upward move, now there is the temptation of doubting Bitcoin reaching $150k this year.
No, we don't need to make any predictions if we just plan to hold and accumulate all the time. The main focus is to have an accumulation budget and keep building a portfolio, but every investor also needs to do some analysis. Predictions are not that important, you don't even need to make any predictions, just focus on building a portfolio and expect good returns in the long term.
Over time bitcoin price will hit a new ATH no matter what it is. Some people are saying $200k, some maybe below, but one thing for sure if this bull trend continues throughout this year then ATH is a target that will be achieved. I am optimistic about that possibility and a big bull run is coming soon, I hope it is real.
