Several analysts also expect Bitcoin to climb to higher price targets by the end of the year, with crypto investor Mike Alfred stating that the price of Bitcoin could rise to $200,000, with further targets looking at $315,000, $500,000, and even $700,000.
“Bitcoin has almost no downside left.” Alfred said in a post on the X platform, adding that Bitcoin could pull back to $95,000 or $96,000 before continuing higher.
Daily Fibonacci Shows Bitcoin Price Could Reach $450,000
Based on its historical performance with Fibonacci extension levels, crypto commentator MartyParty believes that Bitcoin might be able to head towards the $172,000 to $450,000 range as well.
Looking at the performance of the bitcoin price since mid-2019 when it was at the $5,000 level, the bitcoin price has managed to break through all the extension levels as shown in the chart below.
The price now needs to break above the 1.0 Fibonacci extension at $107,500, which is the next target, before continuing to climb to higher extensions such as 2.618 and beyond.

The chart shows that in MartyParty’s opinion, the highest milestone could be the 4.236 rollover level, which is close to $450,000 USD.
Bitcoin Bullish Flag Shows Upside Target Above $175,700
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin’s recent price action has formed a bullish flag pattern at the weekly level, which is a bullish pattern that occurs when the price consolidates in a downward-sloping range after a sharp rise.

Bullish flags usually continue to climb after the price breaks above the upper trendline, which can equal the height of the previous uptrend. This brings Bitcoin’s upper price target to $175,700 – 73% above the current price.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 69 indicates that market conditions are still biased to the upside, helping Bitcoin hit this bullish flag target.
