Bitcoin Rally: Analysts Predict Surge to $150K, IBIT ETF Overtakes S&P 500 Fund
  • Technical analysis suggests Bitcoin is on the verge of significant gains, with predictions indicating it could surge close to $150,000 during this bullish cycle.

  • The bullish outlook is supported by rising demand for Bitcoin from ETFs, a decreasing supply, and expected clearer cryptocurrency regulations in the U.S.

  • Polymarket traders estimate a 77% chance Bitcoin will reach $125,000 and a 47% chance of hitting $150,000, potentially allowing the IBIT ETF to surpass the assets of the SPDR Gold Shares ETF.

  • The growth of the IBIT ETF could enable it to flip the SPDR Gold Shares ETF, which currently holds over $101 billion in assets, later this year.

  • The IBIT stock is experiencing a strong bullish breakout, driven by expectations that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 this year.

  • Since its launch in January 2024, the iShares Bitcoin ETF has attracted over $55.98 billion in inflows, boosting its total assets to more than $86 billion, making it more profitable than the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF.

  • Anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve later in 2025 could further benefit Bitcoin and the IBIT stock, as lower rates tend to support risk assets.

  • Bitcoin has demonstrated a long-term upward trend, rising from nearly zero in 2009 to over $118,000 today, underpinning its bullish prospects.
