Will Bitcoin reach $100K? That’s the question flooding crypto forums, financial panels, and investor WhatsApp groups after Bitcoin surged past $87,000 earlier this week.
The rally, which saw Bitcoin climb more than 10% in under five days, has reignited speculation about a six-figure milestone that once seemed more hype than reality.
Several market analysts believe the $100K mark is not just a psychological target but a viable short-term ceiling if momentum continues. The recent uptick has been attributed to a weakening U.S. dollar, fresh institutional interest post-ETF approvals, and rising fears about traditional banking volatility. According to Glassnode data, wallet activity among long-term holders remains strong, and exchange outflows are hitting multi-month highs, indicating growing investor confidence.
Not everyone is convinced. Skeptics point to overbought technical indicators and a fragile macroeconomic environment. “This rally feels strong, but we’ve seen parabolic moves before that reverse just as violently,” said crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe. “A correction to $75,000 wouldn’t surprise me before we move higher.”
Prominent voices like Robert Kiyosaki are leaning bullish. The Rich Dad, Poor Dad author reiterated his belief that Bitcoin will reach $180,000 by the end of 2025, citing inflationary pressure, excessive Fed spending, and a loss of trust in fiat systems. “It’s not just a currency anymore. Bitcoin is now digital gold, and investors are treating it that way,” he said on a recent podcast.
Still, the market remains volatile. Open interest in Bitcoin futures has spiked, and funding rates suggest leveraged positions are heating up. That often signals potential for near-term pullbacks. But if retail demand mirrors 2021 levels and institutional buying remains steady, $100K is no longer a moonshot, it’s a realistic checkpoint.
