JPMorgan Predicts Bitcoin Price Surge to $170,000 Despite Volatility

The recent drop in Bitcoin price below $100,000 has caused concern, but major institutions like JPMorgan remain confident. Analysts from JPMorgan predict a potential rise to $170,000 in the near future.

Key Points from JPMorgan's Analysis

  • Bitcoin is viewed as significantly undervalued compared to gold.
  • A 65.9% increase is expected within the next 6-12 months, targeting $170,000.
  • The crypto market faced a near 20% correction due to significant liquidations, especially on October 10.
  • Further liquidation events, including a $120 million exploit on Market Maker Balancer, have heightened market fears.
  • Despite volatility, JPMorgan sees these events as necessary purges, clearing excessive speculation.
  • Analysts believe perpetual deleveraging is ending, paving the way for stable institutional accumulation.
  • Bitcoin could recover and reach new highs by October 2026.

Market Analysts' Perspectives

  • Crypto analyst Sulianto Indria Putra supports the bullish outlook, noting Bitcoin's position above its 50-week EMA.
  • Putra suggests Bitcoin is forming a higher low within an ongoing bull trend.
  • Despite bearish sentiment, there's potential for a rally to $150,000 between late 2025 and early 2026.
