Stockmoney Lizards acknowledges Bitcoin's current all-time high but argues, "This is not the top." Citing the Satoshimeter at just 9, he believes significant upside potential remains.
Justin Bennett envisions the total cryptocurrency market capitalization climbing to $4.2–$4.3 trillion by year-end.

He forecasts Bitcoin to surge to $120,000–$125,000, with Ethereum surpassing $4,800. Bennett also warns that such highs might set the stage for a correction in early 2025.

Gert van Lagen, a technical analyst, observes that Bitcoin's current trajectory aligns with expectations, surpassing the gravity of its re-accumulation pattern.

With an estimated 2.5 months before a potential recession, he predicts Bitcoin could aim for $200,000 soon.
