Although Bitcoin (BTC) managed to surge past $122,000 over the weekend, nearing its all-time high, it slid 2.31% on Tuesday, August 12 ahead of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) release. Weighing in on the drop, leading on-chain analyst Ali Martinez noted that the asset tends to dip ahead of CPI and Producer Price Index (PPI) reports, but that it often “rallies right after the data drops.” To see how Bitcoin might react to market changes in the coming months, Finbold consulted OpenAI’s new ChatGPT-5 chatbot regarding potential BTC price targets for the end of 2025. BTC price prediction Considering Bitcoin’s current price of $118,550 and factors such as analyst projections and technical indicators, the artificial intelligence ( AI ) came up with four potential scenarios for the cryptocurrency.

This implies an 18.6%–69.5% upside. In more optimistic market environments, however, the AI suggested that crypto could hit the $200,000–$250,000 range (a potential 69.5%–111.9% upside), backed by both aggressive institutional accumulation and retail adoption. The most bullish scenario, the one implying outlier major macroeconomic shifts favoring the stablecoin and unprecedented adoption, could see the crypto surge 111.9%, going past the $250,000 mark. Conservative outlooks, on the other hand, imply a target price range between $118,000 and $140,000, which still implies a potential upside of 18.6% compared to the current price. Prompted to give a specific target within a tighter range, the LLM said the world’s largest cryptocurrency would trade at $175,000 at the close of December 31, 2025. Final BTC price prediction.
