Bitcoin (BTC) supported investor sentiment by hovering around $95,000 as global trade tensions caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff maneuvers eased. The world's largest cryptocurrency has been on a rally in recent weeks, and market leaders believe this could just be the beginning. Neil Wilson, an investment strategist at Saxo Bank, framed the current moment as a potential turning point. “The key moment: will risk assets continue to rally or will the sell-off begin again?” Wilson asked in a note to clients. In this context, six experts weighed in on Bitcoin's direction, offering bullish price targets and macro-focused views. Arthur Hayes, chief investment officer at crypto investment firm Maelstrom and co-founder of BitMEX, argued that Bitcoin’s resilience is dependent on expected monetary policy responses to geopolitical uncertainty. He predicted a breakout when Bitcoin breaks above $110,000 and potentially approaches $200,000 as dominance increases.

Cosmo Jiang, general partner at Pantera Capital, took a more moderate but still optimistic view. He acknowledged that “major macro forces” and tariff uncertainty made for a “challenging quarter,” but believes the worst of the pullback may be over. “Investors will start to appreciate all the long-term positive tailwinds,” Jiang wrote in a blog post. “Crypto may be the first to pull back, but it may also be the first and fastest to recover.” In the “London Crypto Club” newsletter, FRNT Financial’s David Brickell and former forex trader Chris Mills noted Bitcoin’s unparalleled performance during market uncertainty. “Bitcoin just got a big boost to its credibility,” they wrote, adding, “It acts as both the ultimate hedge against the failure of existing economic and political structures and the ultimate, high-beta, risk-on asset.” Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, offered one of the most ambitious predictions. In an investor note published on Monday, he predicted that Bitcoin would reach $120,000 in Q2 and rise to $200,000 by the end of the year. *This is not investment advice.
