Standard Chartered Bitcoin Price Prediction Points to a Rise in Q2025 XNUMX

• Bitcoin Price Prediction Targets $120.000 by 2025
• Standard Chartered maintains bullish outlook for Bitcoin
• Institutional demand reinforces bullish Bitcoin forecast

Standard Chartered's 2025 Bitcoin price prediction suggests the leading cryptocurrency could hit a new all-time high of $120.000 as early as the second quarter of this year, according to Geoffrey Kendrick, the bank's head of digital asset research.

In an analysis provided to Benzinga, Kendrick highlighted that asset reallocation in the United States, combined with increased institutional demand, should boost Bitcoin in the coming weeks. “We expect these supporting factors to drive BTC to a new all-time high around $120.000 in QXNUMX,” the analyst said.

Among the key takeaways, Kendrick mentioned that term premiums on U.S. Treasuries have reached their highest level in over a decade, indicating increased demand for non-dollar assets. He also noted that whales have stepped up their accumulation of Bitcoin, while recent ETF inflows suggest a capital shift from gold to Bitcoin.

The analysis reinforces that, in terms of intraday behavior, American investors are reallocating domestic assets in favor of options such as Bitcoin. At the moment, the main cryptocurrency is trading close to US$ 95.000, registering an appreciation of approximately seven times in relation to the lows of the cycle, registered in November 2022.

Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick predicts a new $ BTC all-time high around $120,000 in Q2, fueled by strategic reallocation away from US assets.

Bitcoin’s price prediction for the end of 2025 remains at $200.000, according to Standard Chartered. Kendrick emphasized that a breakout during the second quarter should bring that target closer, stating, “It’s difficult to predict the exact timing of the rally, but we believe it is imminent,” noting that Bitcoin historically tends to see strong rallies before periods of consolidation.

This expectation comes in an environment of greater volatility in US financial markets, as investors seek alternatives in the face of uncertainties involving inflation, trade tensions and geopolitical issues.

At the time of publication, the price of Bitcoin was quoted at US$93.705,66 with a drop of 0,50% in the last 24 hours.
