Bitcoin just climbed back above $80,000 for the first time in months, and now both a major Wall Street bank and a famous crypto investor are calling for much higher prices by year-end. Bernstein sees $125,000, and Arthur Hayes says Treasury buyback mechanics will flood the market with money that leaks into Bitcoin.

## Idea

Bitcoin has already broken out to a three-month high, which tells you buyers are back in control. Bernstein's $125,000 target by late 2026 is based on the idea that the current cycle still has room to run, with much bigger targets after that. Arthur Hayes adds a specific fuel source: Treasury buybacks effectively inject liquidity into the financial system, and that extra money historically flows into Bitcoin. When a momentum breakout lines up with both institutional forecasts and a liquidity tailwind, the trade is to ride the trend rather than chase tops.
