Key Takeaways
Bitcoin (BTC) once again smashed through its previous high, reaching a new all-time high of $123,218.
Momentum is going parabolic, and market watchers are already calling for even bigger moves ahead.
So, how high can Bitcoin really go this cycle? Let’s break down the charts and see what might be next.
Bitcoin smashed a fresh all-time high at $123,218 today—and if the wave count is any indication, this rally might just be getting started.
According to Elliott Wave analysis, BTC is in an extended fifth wave that kicked off in 2023. This final leg of the bull cycle is historically the most explosive—and often parabolic.
The chart breaks down the structure into sub-waves (in orange) and minor sub-waves (in black), pointing to even more upside potential ahead.
While the final portion of this rally could develop into an ending diagonal, leading to a more gradual ascent instead of a parabolic one, the early returns make that unlikely.
The first target for the top of the Bitcoin bull run is $237,185, created by giving wave five the same length as waves one and three combined.

An interesting and bullish development is the possible invalidation of bearish divergences in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD).
The previous divergences threatened to derail the bull run, but Bitcoin’s newfound strength has nearly invalidated them.
On top of the positive price action, analysts all predict much higher highs for Bitcoin.
Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research, suggests Bitcoin can reach $150,000 this cycle. He stated:
With institutional investment accelerating, fueled by over $51 billion in ETF inflows and increasing allocations by corporate treasuries, investment trends suggest a strong appetite for long-term exposure, especially if policy clarity advances.
Kedan Stadlemann, Komodo’s CTO and Project Lead, believes that $200,000 to $250,000 is likely this year because of the bullish structure and weak dips.
Finally, Satraj Bambra, the CEO of Rails, made the most bullish prediction. He believes Bitcoin will top between $300,000 and $500,000, driven by a ballooning Fed balance sheet and lower interest rates after the appointment of a new Fed Chair.
The daily time frame shows no weakness, which means the parabolic rally could continue.
According to the count, Bitcoin started its current upward movement after its $98,200 low in June (dashed).
The BTC price will continue powering up the charts if it does not fall below that level.

Momentum indicators like the RSI and MACD have not generated bearish divergences, so the upward trend will continue.
Zooming into the two-hour count raises concerns because a short-term wave three has ended, but that will not likely lead to a significant drop.
This is because the long-term wave three starting in July has not ended.

A more significant decline could occur after that ends, and an even bigger one after the entire five-wave rally.
However, Bitcoin’s short- and long-term rallies are not over, so the price will continue surging to new highs.
Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $123,218 today.
The long- and short-term Bitcoin predictions are bullish, showing no signs of weakness yet.
A likely target for the top of the current Bitcoin bull run is near $237,185
