- Trader Killa predicts Bitcoin will not reclaim $100,000 until Q2–Q3 2027.
- 21Shares expects Bitcoin to reach $100,000–$110,000 by the end of 2026.
- Rising long-term holder balances and a $320B stablecoin supply support the bullish outlook.
Bullish predictions are back for Bitcoin, with renowned crypto industry figures forecasting a return to historical landmarks. One such projection comes from a pseudonymous trader, Killa, who accurately called Bitcoin’s 2025 top.
Bitcoin to $100K in 2027?
In his latest post on X, Killa predicted that Bitcoin would return to the six-figure level of $100,000, but it will not happen until 2027.
Killa based his prediction on Bitcoin’s higher timeframe technical indicators, noting that several macro bottom signals are already flashing. However, he clarified that such bottoms take time to form and that the structure will not be complete before the end of 2026. According to the analyst, the technical formation will unfold through multiple smaller ranges before a significant expansion, making a move to $100,000 this year nearly impossible.
Focusing on a specific period, Killa projects Bitcoin could return to the $100,000 landmark by late Q2 or in Q3 of 2027. According to him, anyone expecting a $100,000 Bitcoin target before then is “getting way ahead of themselves.”
A Different Projection by 21Shares
Meanwhile, Swiss crypto asset manager 21Shares has stated that Bitcoin’s 50% drawdown is consolidation rather than capitulation. The firm attributed the move to long-term holder accumulation and swelling stablecoin supply as structural tailwinds.
TradingView’s data shows Bitcoin trading for $62,024 at the time of writing, approximately half its all-time high. 21Shares considers this a buying opportunity and has laid out a base scenario targeting between $100,000 and $110,000 by the end of 2026. That is a more optimistic forecast than Killa’s Q2 2027 $100,000 prediction for Bitcoin.
According to 21Shares’ strategist, Matt Mena, Bitcoin could recover to $100,000 before the end of Q3 2026 if the price breaks above the $70,000 resistance level. Mena cited crucial indicators, including long-term holder balances being near all-time highs, with an increase of roughly $15 billion year-to-date. He noted “smart money” typically accumulates Bitcoin during corrections when prices appear undervalued.
Mena highlighted the surge in stablecoin supply to $320 billion as a crucial signal that investors are on the sidelines and waiting for the right time to re-enter the market. Meanwhile, he identified $60,000 as a key structural support level, which roughly aligns with Bitcoin’s 200-week moving average that has historically acted as a floor during major corrections.
