Bitcoin could climb higher before June wraps up, if today’s momentum holds. According to Shunyet Jan, Head of Derivatives at Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange, a move to $125,000 by the end of Q2 is on the table.
That’s a jump of about 16% from current levels near $108,000. It’s a bold call, but Jan ties it to clear rules, steady fund flows and a sliding US dollar.

Bitcoin: Bold Price Forecast
Jan set the $125,000 target in a market update on Thursday. He argues that if big players keep buying, Bitcoin can make that climb from roughly $108,100 today to $125,000 in five weeks.
It’s a tight window. The weeks ahead will matter most as prices test new highs and traders look for clues on follow-through.
Bybit’s Head of Derivatives Predicts Bitcoin Could Reach $125K by End of Q2

Three Main Drivers
Regulatory clarity tops Jan’s list. Based on reports, the new GENIUS Act gives stablecoins defined rules, which could help banks and funds feel safer about crypto. He also mentions spot Bitcoin ETFs.
These funds have pulled in fresh capital, offering a straight path for institutions to own Bitcoin. Finally, Jan points to a weaker US dollar. When the dollar dips, Bitcoin often shines as an alternative store of value, his view goes.
Altcoin Outlook Mixed
While Bitcoin gets the green light, Jan warns that smaller tokens may struggle. He says high interest rates and global uncertainty might limit gains for Ethereum and other major altcoins.
If money slows or risk appetite wanes, altcoins could lag behind Bitcoin’s rally. Traders aiming beyond BTC may need to pick their spots more carefully.
Other Expert Predictions
Jan’s view isn’t alone. Scott Melker, host of The Wolf of All Streets podcast, thinks Bitcoin could hit $250,000 by December 31, 2025. He notes BTC’s volatility has fallen from about three times that of the S&P to under two times.
On another front, Adam Back of Blockstream sees an even steeper climb to between $500,000 and $1 million per coin this cycle.
Michael Saylor, CEO of Strategy, adds that recent hiccups below $150,000 are tied to short-term holders exiting. He says longer-term investors are moving in through spot ETFs and corporate buys.

What Comes Next
Investors will be watching ETF flow reports and any shifts in US rate plans. A surprise hawkish move from the Federal Reserve or a fresh regulatory twist could sway prices just as much as demand.
If Bitcoin breaks toward $125,000, it would mark a major milestone. But as always, timing matters nearly as much as price targets.
