Bitcoin is on track to experience a supply crunch, leading to a parabolic price increase in the coming months (by end of 2025).

Declining Bitcoin supply on OTC desks will force OTC desks to buy on the open market, pushing up Bitcoin's price in the coming months (by end of 2025).
"the supply of Bitcoin on OTC desks is at its lowest level in years and that's at least according to the OTC desk glass node could identify... this decline in OTC supply will force OTC desks to buy Bitcoin on the open market and that of course will push up its price"

Spot selling of Bitcoin by whales is slowing, and OTC balance trends suggest more spot buys are coming, which will push the price up in the coming months (by end of 2025).
"the supply of Bitcoin held by Wales has been on a sharp decline over the last 6 months or so it's impossible to know when their spot selling will stop but the spot selling is slowing and the trend in OTC balances suggests more spot buys are coming"

A central bank announcing it holds Bitcoin or Bitcoin decoupling from stocks for a sustained period could happen in the coming months (by end of 2025), making investors see Bitcoin as a safe haven asset.
"a central bank announcing that it's holding Bitcoin which could happen in the coming months alternatively the catalyst that makes investors see Bitcoin as a safe haven asset could be as straightforward as Bitcoin decoupling from stocks for a sustained period of time something that could also happen again in the coming months"

Bitcoin's supply is becoming less liquid, making a supply crunch inevitable in the coming months (by end of 2025).
"more and more of Bitcoin supply is flowing from the weak hands to the diamond hands and this means that there's less and less liquid Bitcoin and that means that a supply crunch is likely inevitable regardless of what happens in the coming months"

If Bitcoin experiences a supply crunch similar to silver in the 1980s, its market cap could reach $4 trillion, translating to a price of around $200,000. It could top around $180,000 due to profit-taking, or whales could push it above $200,000 to attract investors aiming for $300,000+ (by end of 2025).
"If we assume that Bitcoin follows silver in market cap then a $4 trillion market cap would translate to a Bitcoin price of somewhere around $200,000... investors are likely to take profits ahead of 200K and that's just because it's another key psychological level meaning Bitcoin could top somewhere around 180K conversely Wales could push Bitcoin's price above 200K to suck in investors looking for that 300K plus level"

Bitcoin will rally significantly more than expected in the current cycle due to the supply crunch, but will rally less in the next cycle because similar leverage demand won't be possible and supply effects were pulled forward (current cycle by end of 2025, next cycle 2026-2029).
"Bitcoin rallies way more than expected in this cycle because of the supply crunch and rallies less in the next cycle both because the same amounts of leverage demand won't be possible and because the supply effects were pulled forward"

If Bitcoin's price exceeds $100,000, over $100 billion of BTC could be used as collateral, leading to tens of billions in stablecoins borrowed and invested into altcoins (by end of 2025).
"assuming a Bitcoin price of over $100,000 or more that could work out to a whopping $100 billion of BTC or more being used as collateral in turn this could translate into tens of billions of dollars of stable coins being borrowed and invested into altcoins"

A Bitcoin supply squeeze will increase crypto-native liquidity due to Bitcoin's price rise and increased borrowing against it, causing many other cryptocurrencies to experience parabolic moves (by end of 2025).
"a supply squeeze would result in an increase in cryptonative liquidity due to the positive impact it would have on Bitcoin's price and the increased amount of borrowing that would occur against Bitcoin as a result and this could cause many cryptos to experience parabolic moves of their own"
