According to CryptoQuant, the recent correction of Bitcoin does not signal the peak of the cycle, indicating that the market still has room for growth. Analysts are currently predicting that the price of Bitcoin could fluctuate between 180,000 and 250,000 dollars by the end of the year.
CEO David Bailey of Nakamoto noted that when whales finish releasing large holdings, the price of Bitcoin could rise by up to 36%, adding momentum to the bullish outlook.
Here are the 5 most important Bitcoin price forecasts you need to know this week.
Bitcoin price has notreached the peakof the cycle
CryptoQuant dismisses claims that the recent price drop of Bitcoin marks the peak of the market cycle. This analytics firm asserts that the bulls are still in control and there are no signs that the market has reached a "cycle peak" – which would signal the start of a bear market.
According to data from CryptoQuant, some on-chain indicators suggest that the current price increase still has momentum and the recent price fluctuations are normal at this stage of the cycle.
The analysis company also emphasized that the number of Bitcoin on exchanges is decreasing, indicating that investors are not ready to sell. The decrease in selling pressure is a sign that the market still has growth potential.
At the same time, long-term holders continue to accumulate assets instead of selling. Technical indicators show that the market price compared to the fair price (MVRV) of Bitcoin is still below 3.6 – a level often associated with peak market activity. For Bitcoin to reach the cycle peak, MVRV will need to rise to 3.6.
David Bailey**: Bitcoin will reach 150,000** dollars if two whales stop selling
According to David Bailey – CEO of the Bitcoin holding company named Nakamoto, the price of Bitcoin could reach $150,000 when two large holders stop selling.
"The only reason we haven't reached $150,000 right now is because of two huge whales," Bailey wrote in a post on X on Tuesday. He mentioned that one of the two whales has finished selling, and the second whale is in the process of selling, suggesting that the price could rise when they stop selling.
Recent large transactions from whales have created volatility in the Bitcoin market. On August 24, a single whale sold 24,000 BTC, worth approximately 2.7 billion dollars, leading to a short-term decline. According to a report by QCP, this move caused the liquidation of around 500 million dollars in leveraged positions within minutes.
The second whale ( has held Bitcoin for 5 years ) and started liquidating on August 21, transferring this money to ETH, selling about 4 billion dollars worth of BTC through the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid.
Large transactions have contributed to instability in the market, pushing the crypto Fear & Greed Index into the "fear" zone on Saturday. Throughout the weekend, the index fluctuated between "fear" and "neutral." On Tuesday, the index closed at a neutral level with 49 points.
Merlijn Trader**:** Bitcoin is hunting for liquidity in a megaphone pattern
According to technical analyst Merlijn Trader, Bitcoin is trading in a bullish megaphone pattern, indicating stronger market momentum. This pattern forms when each price oscillation becomes wider than the previous one, reinforcing the structure of the pattern.
Traders often see this as a sign that buying and selling pressure is increasing, with the market seeking liquidity at higher price levels.
Analysts note that each breakout in the pattern is usually stronger and consecutive tests of support and resistance help confirm the structure of the pattern. If this pattern continues to hold, Bitcoin may target price levels above $130,000.

According to analyst JDK99, the historical cycles of Bitcoin suggest that the next market peak could occur around October to November 2025. Past patterns indicate that Bitcoin tends to follow repeating cycles of growth and correction, aiding in predicting potential highs.
If the price approaches the upper range of the Power Law band, around $200,000, analysts recommend caution. This level may represent the cycle peak, signaling that the market is preparing for a correction.
Analysts suggest monitoring multiple combined indicators, including on-chain metrics, long-term holder activity, and exchange balances, rather than solely relying on historical price trends.
