Another bold Bitcoin outlook in the short term is making the rounds, particularly coming from one of the world’s most unique minds.
Specifically, YoungHoon Kim, who claims to hold the highest IQ in the world, with a score of 276, recently made a bullish Bitcoin price prediction. Speaking in a viral clip shared on his X account, he predicts the pioneering cryptocurrency will reach $220,000 in a matter of days.
Bitcoin to Revert Current Downward Momentum
Notably, this comes as Bitcoin has struggled to show grit in the face of mounting bearish pressure. Its bearish “Uptober” ending has extended well within this month, resulting in a 14.3% correction so far.
A quick-fire rise to $96,000 earlier today has also turned south, with Bitcoin dropping below $94,000 at the time of writing. With its current price of $93,774, BTC has now retraced by 25.7% from its October all-time high of $126,200.
Yet Kim suggests the coin’s southbound days are numbered. According to him, it would not be long before Bitcoin makes a comeback to reclaim six-figure valuations and subsequently reach unprecedented prices.
He is predicting a 134% growth from the current trading level to $220,000 in the next 45 days. Notably, the timeframe aligns closely with the first day of January 2026.
Kim’s rationale for this outlook is a combination of faith and optimism. While he did not provide any basis for this near-term rally, he pledged to use 100% of the profits from his portfolio upside to facilitate his religious commitments.
Aligning Price Outlooks
Remarkably, this year-end target aligns closely with earlier price expectations for the apex cryptocurrency despite the current sideways trend. For instance, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee recently reinforced his optimistic outlook for Bitcoin by the end of the year, insisting that a run to $200K-$250K is still viable.
Even Kim’s prediction comes under a post from widely followed market pundit Vivek Sen. He shared a prediction from AI chatbot Grok, which forecasts that Bitcoin will rally to a new all-time high of $175,000 in the next 45 days.
Notably, the $220,000 price prediction also aligns with a long-standing target by market technician Egrag Crypto. However, it would require that Bitcoin rebound from recent lows to reclaim former support areas that have now become resistance.
