- Bill Barhydt predicted major crypto gains driven by liquidity boosts and tax cuts.
- Chris Burniske sees the current dip as a “mid-bull pullback,” not a market peak.
Despite Bitcoin [BTC] facing significant pressure amid the ongoing tariff war, briefly dipping to $92,000, market sentiment remains largely optimistic.
The flagship cryptocurrency has since rebounded, trading at $96,512.36 after a modest 0.53% gain in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
Bill Barhydt’s Bitcoin prediction
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Abra Global CEO Bill Barhydt echoed the bullish outlook shared by many analysts.
He forecasted a strong year for BTC and leading altcoins like Ethereum [ETH], Solana [SOL], and Ripple [XRP], with expectations of new all-time highs.
Barhydt said,
“My base case for for current crypto cycle (NFA). Bitcoin – $350k. Ethereum – $8,000. Solana – $900. Sui – $25. High end of range is ~2x these values.”
He emphasized that the current U.S. administration is focused on significantly lowering interest rates and will take necessary measures to achieve this goal.
Grounds of Barhydt’s prediction
With over $7 trillion in debt to refinance and tax cuts on the horizon, the government’s financial maneuvers could lead to a substantial liquidity boost.
Additionally, both the U.S. government and the Bank of England are implementing policies that inject more capital into the economy, making borrowing cheaper and increasing market participation.
Historically, such conditions have encouraged investors to expand their portfolios, with cryptocurrencies often benefiting from the influx of capital.
Hence, Barhydt suggested that this wave of liquidity—whether through Quantitative Easing (QE) or other financial tools—could drive traders to accumulate more Bitcoin, potentially fueling a bullish trend.
The reason behind Bitcoin’s hike
That being said, one of the key drivers behind Bitcoin’s potential surge is the growing influence of Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have already begun channeling substantial institutional capital into the crypto market.
The approval of these investment products has provided a regulated gateway for large-scale investors, fueling greater market confidence.
Notably, the release of U.S. CPI data last month triggered a massive $755 million inflow into Bitcoin ETFs, underscoring how monetary policies and inflation trends directly impact crypto investments.
Barhydt further emphasized that the Trump administration’s proposed tax cuts could amplify this liquidity surge, aligning with what he calls the “Cyclical Valhalla”—a period where bold investors stand to gain significantly from the market’s evolving dynamics.
He added,
“Cyclical Valhalla is coming. Those with brass balls will be rewarded accordingly. Don’t ape in based on my convictions. Figure out your conviction and act accordingly.”
What lies ahead for Bitcoin?
Additionally, Chris Burniske, former Ark Invest crypto executive and current VC partner at Placeholder, views the market’s current state as a “mid-bull pullback” rather than a peak.
His perspective aligns with the broader sentiment that Bitcoin and leading altcoins still have room for significant growth.
As expected, he put it best when he said,
“I don’t think this is a sign of cycle top, rather a mid-bull pullback that makes everyone question god. Feels a lot more like April, May, June of 2021 to me, where things fell 50-80% depending on the coin, many said it was over, top-callers gloated, and then we ripped in 2H ’21.”
