Dramatic Bitcoin predictions are making headlines this week, according to a viral post circulating on social media. Bitcoin is trading around $93,700, down about 26% from its October high of $126,200.
Reports revealed that the drop in November resulted in a 15% correction at the beginning of the month. The short-term burst above $96,000 has already faded, and at one point it fell below $93,000.
Bold predictions made by high IQ plaintiffs
Younghoon Kim, who claims to have an IQ of 276, says Bitcoin will reach $220,000 within 45 days. Based on the report, this would represent an increase of approximately 130% from current levels.
His prediction was shared in a short clip on X, where he provided no technical charts or on-chain evidence to support the jump. But he pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds from the rally to “building a church for Jesus Christ in all nations,” citing that motive alongside his bullish views.
As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I hope #bitcoin It will reach $220,000 in the next 45 days.
I will use my Bitcoin profits to build churches for Jesus Christ in all nations.

Market movements and sentiment
Price trends are unstable. It rose quickly to around $96,000, but was unable to maintain it and subsequently retreated below $94,000. There were several attempts to break through and maintain the $100,000 mark, but none of them took root, and traders’ confidence declined.
Based on reports, some market watchers point to panic selling by short-term holders and rotation of “OG” or long-term holders as the driving forces behind this volatility.
Institutional investors and long-term holders are still present in the market, and some believe their activity will provide liquidity and support prices in the long run.
How does this fit with other predictions?
Along with Kim’s prediction, other bullish views have also been cited. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee kept his year-end target range unchanged at $200,000 to $250,000. The technologist known as Egrag Crypto has also highlighted the $220,000 level in previous commentary.
According to the report, these goals overlap, but the techniques behind them are different and the timing is not necessarily tied to the same factors.
Technical and practical hurdles
To reach $220,000 in the coming weeks, Bitcoin will need to regain the price range where it turned from support to resistance.
This means that buying pressure must exceed selling pressure across multiple price levels. No single metric guarantees such a sharp move, and short-term past performance shows how quickly sentiment can change.
