According to the latest predictions, there's an 18% possibility for Bitcoin to reach $200,000 and an 11% chance for it to hit $250,000. Some more ambitious traders (about 3%) are betting that BTC price could cross $1 million before the end of the year.

The most likely outcome for the cryptocurrency, according to the market, is a price between $110,000 and $130,000. Bitcoin's future price is usually a hot discussion among crypto market players.
