Popular market analyst Gert Van Lagen has audaciously backed Bitcoin (BTC) to hit the $300,000 price mark amid the current bull run. Van Lagen\u2019s prediction comes a few days after establishing a new all-time high at $111,970<\/a>, signaling a strong bullish intent to maintain the current price uptrend\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the past week, the premier cryptocurrency registered a modest price gain of 5.35% as news of US President Donald Trump recommending a 50% tariff on imports from the European Union (EU) forced a slight price retracement.\n<\/p>\n

In an X post<\/a> on May 24, Gert Van Lagen shares that BTC price action since the last cycle in 2021 has resulted in a cup-and-handle formation, suggesting the digital asset is on the edge of a major price breakout.<\/p>\n

For context, the cup-and-handle represents a major bullish continuation pattern that indicates a potential upward breakout. In Bitcoin\u2019s case, the cup forms between late 2021 and early 2024, as price action created a rounded bottom, reflecting a decline from a former all-time high around $69,000, followed by a period of stabilization and recovery, culminating in a return to that key level.<\/p>\n

After attaining this prior high, price movement pulled back, forming a downward or sideways channel known as the handle, setting the stage for a price breakout. This is well reflected in Bitcoin\u2019s price action from early 2024 to Q3 2024.<\/p>\n

Notably, Bitcoin has since achieved this breakout from the cup-and-handle formation by crossing the critical market resistance at $69,000. Based on linear calculations, Gert Van Lagen explains the flagship cryptocurrency is expected to hit a price target of $120,000-$130,000 \u2014 a projection now within Bitcoin\u2019s reach, considering the current market momentum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Van Lagen also notes that the cup-and-handle pattern also points to an exponential price target of $300,000. Historically, BTC has previously achieved such logarithmic targets with gains of 100x from 2013-2017, and 21x from 2018-2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the new weight of institutional capital, especially following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 supports this bullish outlook. However, while this institutional participation signals long-term confidence, it also reflects BTC\u2019s maturation. Now a $2 trillion asset, Bitcoin\u2019s sheer size may make parabolic moves less frequent, even though crypto market volatility still leaves the potential for significant upside.\n<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $107,794 following a minor 0.64% gain in the past day. On the monthly chart, the premier cryptocurrency reports gains of 16.25% as the bull market persists.\n<\/p>\n
