Bitcoin price is likely to peak in the $175,000–$450,000 zone.

Bitcoin is close to breaking out of a seven-month price consolidation range, and after BTC hit new all-time highs (ATHs), the market is anticipating a period of price discovery.

While new studies and data have served different predictions in the past few weeks, Bitcoin has already followed the Fibonacci retracement levels listed between 1.618 and 2.272, each of which BTC has reached a high.

As shown in the chart, every Bitcoin peak since 2013 has occurred between the 1.618 and 2.272 Fib, and at the current setup, the price target at 1.618 is $173,088, and the target at 2.272 is $458,319.

However, over the years, the price has continued to rise at a point slightly below the previous range measured by Fib. For example, in 2013, the price rose above the 2.272 mark. In 2018, BTC peaked just below the 2.272 Fib line, and in 2021, the $69,800 cycle high was below the 1.618 level.

Therefore, in 2025 or 2026, Bitcoin's peak could fall below $173,000 if the “four-year period of diminishing returns” trend continues.
