Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein have raised their price forecast for Bitcoin following a potential victory for US Vice President Kamala Harris. Previously, experts believed that a Harris victory could lead Bitcoin to test a new low in the $40 range. However, a recent prediction highlighted that the largest cryptocurrency could reach $50. The information was published by The Block.
According to the publication, Bernstein analysts’ price target is $200,000 by the end of next year, regardless of the outcome of the US elections. The election will take place tomorrow, November 5.
“The Bitcoin genie is out of the bottle, and it’s hard to reverse course. Our Bitcoin price target for the end of 2025 remains $200,000, regardless of the outcome of the election.”
Bernstein analysts have reiterated their prediction that Bitcoin’s price could reach new all-time highs if former US President and current candidate Donald Trump wins the presidential election. The analysts’ prediction reiterated that BTC could reach between $80,000 and $90,000 with a Trump victory.
