Bitcoin price prediction by JPMorgan
Global investment bank JPMorgan has published its forecasts for the long-term price of Bitcoin and the fair value of the leading cryptocurrency.
Strategists at JPMorgan Chase & Co., led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, wrote in a research note published Tuesday that their long-term theoretical target for bitcoin is $150,000, versus $150,000 last year’s forecast of $146,000.
At this rate, the total market value of BTC will be equal to all privately held gold for investment purposes.
Analysts also state that Bitcoin’s “fair value” is around $38,000, up from last year’s estimate of $35,000.
They calculated a fair value based on Bitcoin being four times more volatile than gold, adding that if the volatility range narrows to three times, BTC’s fair value will rise to $50,000.
JPM strategists wrote:
“The biggest challenge for bitcoin going forward is its volatility, and boom-bust cycles are hampering institutional adoption of more.”
At the time of writing, bitcoin price is $43,209, up almost 17% in the last 7 days and almost 2% in the last 30 days.
Meanwhile, a customer survey by JPMorgan shows that the majority of respondents expect Bitcoin price to reach $60,000 or more this year. The company currently offers its clients a range of crypto investments.

However, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon continues to warn people against investing in crypto, citing that the asset has no intrinsic value. He called Bitcoin worthless last October and questioned its limited supply.
