Bitcoin Price Prediction: Experts Forecast $130,000 Surge as ETF Inflows Reach $2.2 Billion in Just 4 Days
Institutional interest in Bitcoin has roared back with nearly $700M flowing into ETFs in a single day. See why analysts believe this renewed momentum could push Bitcoin beyond $130,000 by late 2025.
Bitcoin Poised for Potential Surge: Institutional Interest Returns
According to Ecoinometrics, Bitcoin could potentially exceed $130,000 if significant inflows into ETFs materialize during the final quarter of 2025. Recent data from Farside Investors shows encouraging signs, with inflows of nearly $700 million recorded on Wednesday, October 1st. This positive momentum is part of a broader trend, as Bitcoin ETFs have been experiencing consecutive days of positive flows since the end of September.
ETF Inflows Make a Strong Return
Bitcoin spot ETFs, launched in early 2024, have seen considerable institutional interest throughout the year. While these investment products have been largely successful, they did experience a quieter period starting from the end of July. However, the situation has improved significantly since September 29th, with four consecutive days of inflows totaling approximately $2.2 billion entering ETFs in just a few days.
These renewed inflows are promising, but sustained institutional interest will be necessary if Bitcoin is to reach the projected $130,000 price target.
Investor Behavior Showing Positive Signs
The on-chain indicator "Trend Accumulation Score by Cohort" provides valuable insights into the behavior of different types of Bitcoin investors. This metric analyzes entities holding between less than 1 BTC to more than 10,000 BTC, offering a comprehensive view of market sentiment.
Since August, investors had generally been in distribution mode (shown in red). However, recent data indicates that distribution is weakening, with certain categories of investors beginning to accumulate again (shown in blue). Notably, market participants holding between 10 and 1,000 BTC have shifted toward accumulation. This change suggests improving market conditions after a period of significant selling pressure.
BTC Price Recovery Targeting $130,000
Just one week ago, Bitcoin was trading below $110,000. Since then, the cryptocurrency has managed to recover and climb above $120,000, now heading toward the $130,000 mark. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which fell into the "fear" zone last week, could soon return to the "euphoria" zone if Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory.
For the bullish structure to continue on the 3-day chart, Bitcoin needs to close above its previous all-time high of $124,500. If a decline occurs, buyers may emerge around the support level at $104,000, a critical area that must be defended to prevent falling below $100,000. Despite the price rebound, the RSI remains below its descending trendline. A break above this trendline, in place for several months, would indicate stronger momentum.
