Bitcoin Targets New All-Time High of $150,000 Amid Record ETF Inflows
New analysis from Cooper Research suggests Bitcoin could reach significant new highs by year-end, with a specific target of $150,000 as early as October.
Cooper Research Predictions
- Bitcoin could hit $140,000 in September and potentially $150,000 by early October.
- Analysts view breakeven between $140K-$200K as “when the Bitcoin market could overheat.”
- The target “seems inevitable” due to massive inflows into Bitcoin ETFs.
- “Across a range of data metrics, Bitcoin appears primed for another significant leg upward.”
Drivers and Context
Their earlier overheating assessment “still holds”.
In the current context:
- Economic headwinds, including inflation concerns (e.g., sticky consumer prices in June) and delayed Fed rate cuts, are pushing investors towards risk-on assets.
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw record weekly inflows exceeding $2 billion – the highest total since their 2024 launch.
- Demand surge noted: Bitcoin prices typically rise by about 1.8% for every 10,000 BTC added to ETF holdings.
Bitcoin recently traded just below $123,000, having reached multiple all-time highs following the ETF launch.

Looking ahead, analysts foresee:
“Bitcoin’s price action may now follow a more tempered path… With smarter capital taking the reins…
