Analysts suggest Bitcoin is approaching a critical breakout zone.
The self-proclaimed smartest individual has made another bold claim about Bitcoin’s future price, suggesting it could soar past $270,000 in a month.
Kim, asserting an IQ of 276, believes Bitcoin could reach $276,000 by February 2026, attributing this optimistic viewpoint to weakened fiat currencies.
Historically, Bitcoin’s price has been volatile and is highly responsive to global economic shifts.
Kim’s latest prediction comes after several previous forecasts that did not materialize, including a November assertion that Bitcoin would surge to $220,000 within 45 days, a prediction that ultimately fell short.
“I expect Bitcoin to reach $220,000 in the next 45 days,” Kim stated, expressing intent to use his profits for global church construction.
Alongside his Bitcoin forecasts, Kim believes that Bitcoin could replace the USD by 2026 and described current low prices as a “temporary discount” due to market manipulation.
“I anticipate that manipulation may fade within a week, allowing for a surge toward a new all-time high,” he commented.
Kim also voiced optimism for other cryptocurrencies, predicting XRP could rise significantly under specific economic conditions, suggesting it could reach as high as $1,000 over the next decade.
“The potential for large-scale investment in crypto, coupled with a decline in dollar value, cannot be dismissed numerically,” he stated.
In separate analyses, an expert indicated Bitcoin’s price is at a critical threshold but lacks strong confirmation for a consistent upward trend. The current market’s trading volume remains a concern for bullish traders.
“Bitcoin’s price is compressed within a symmetrical triangle, often signaling heightened volatility ahead,” said the analyst.
