Bitcoin faces critical resistance at $110K with experts divided between David Bailey's $150K "whale theory" and Tom Lee's aggressive $250K year-end target.
Two massive whale sellers keep Bitcoin capped according to Nakamoto CEO Bailey, who predicts 36% surge to $150K once liquidations complete.

(BTC) price is currently hovering around $110,000, down more than 10% from its
all-time highs. According to some industry experts, this decline is driven by
whale-induced resistance.
If pressure
from major market players eases, BTC could climb to at least $150,000. Other Bitcoin
price predictions point even higher, projecting gains of up to 130% from
current levels.
How High Can Bitcoin Go? David
Bailey's $150K Whale Theory
Bitcoin
Nakamoto CEO David Bailey dropped a bombshell prediction on September 2,
2025, claiming "The only reason we're not at $150k right now is two
massive whales". Bailey's analysis suggests that once these whale
liquidations complete, with "1 down, 1 halfway there,” Bitcoin could
experience an "up only" trajectory toward $150,000.
This 36%
surge from current levels would represent a significant breakout if
Bailey's whale theory proves correct. The selling pressure from these large
holders has created what appears to be an artificial ceiling, preventing
Bitcoin from reaching its natural price discovery levels.

Recent Whale Activity Confirms Pattern
Bailey's
thesis gains credibility from documented whale transactions that have "rattled
the Bitcoin market in recent days". On August 24, a whale sold 24,000
BTC worth $2.7 billion, causing a flash crash that liquidated $500 million
in leveraged positions. Additionally, another whale rotated $4 billion
worth of Bitcoin into Ethereum through Hyperliquid exchange.

co-founder Tom Lee maintains his aggressive forecast, stating "I
think Bitcoin should really build upon this 120 before the end of the year;
200,000, maybe, 250". Lee's optimism stems from a fundamental
supply-demand imbalance: "95% of all Bitcoin have been mined, but 95%
of the world doesn't own Bitcoin".
Lee's
long-term vision extends even further, projecting Bitcoin could "hit
$1 million over time" as it approaches gold's $23 trillion market
capitalization. This would place Bitcoin at approximately $1.2 million per
coin if it matched gold's network value.
Arthur Hayes Echoes $250K
Forecast
BitMEX
co-founder Arthur Hayes supports the aggressive $250K target, citing "institutional
demand and global fiscal expansion" as primary drivers. Hayes
emphasizes Bitcoin's evolution as a "macroeconomic asset" with
price potential tied to liquidity conditions and regulatory developments.

Digital's Alex Thorn projects Bitcoin could reach "between
$150,000 and $180,000 by the close of 2025", while CEO Mike Novogratz told
CNBC that "$150k seems to me a decent target" driven
by "strong market momentum and favorable macro conditions".

Paul Howard
from Wincent provides a more cautious perspective: "BTC prices have
dipped below my forecast summer channel of $110,000-$120,000, coinciding with
the end of summer and a lack of liquidity". Howard notes that "September
looks a lot more fragile" with historical data showing "8
out of 12 of the last years trading" as down months.

Bitfinex
analysts acknowledge the current weakness but remain optimistic about
timing: "We believe the market is nearing the bottom of this downturn
as we move into September". They expect "ETF flows across major
asset classes pick up" as the summer concludes.
Technical Analysis: Bitcoin
Bull Flag Targets $130K-$150K
Current
technical patterns reveal a bull flag formation on Bitcoin's daily
chart with measured targets in the $130,000-$150,000 range. Key resistance
sits at $113,000, with a decisive break potentially triggering momentum
toward Bailey's $150K whale theory target.
Expert
consensus ranges from $150K-$250K, with whale liquidation completion
potentially triggering 36% surge to Bailey's $150K target.
What's preventing Bitcoin
from reaching $150K now?
According
to David Bailey, two massive whale sellers are creating artificial resistance, once
cleared, "up only" trajectory expected.
Which expert has the
highest Bitcoin prediction?
Tom Lee's
$250K year-end target represents the most aggressive mainstream forecast from
major Wall Street analysts.
Could Bitcoin hit $1
million eventually?
Long-term
projections from Lee and others suggest $1M+ possible if Bitcoin approaches
gold's $23 trillion market cap.
