Bitcoin to $200K? Wall Street Analysts Are Suddenly Bullish Again
After the latest halving and spot ETF inflows, top analysts at JPMorgan and Standard Chartered are calling for new all-time highs by year-end.
Bitcoin is trading above $135,000 and analysts on Wall Street are getting bolder by the day. Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick reiterated his $200K target this week, citing record spot ETF inflows of $1.2 billion in just five trading days.
The bull case rests on three pillars: post-halving supply scarcity, sovereign adoption (with three more countries reportedly considering Bitcoin reserves), and persistent institutional demand through BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC.
Ethereum is also up 18% this month after the successful Pectra upgrade slashed L2 transaction costs by 90%. Solana hit a new all-time high above $400.
Risks remain — global regulation, potential macro shocks, and the always-present volatility of crypto. But for long-term holders, the structural picture has rarely looked better.
Always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
