After experiencing months of consolidation and volatility, Bitcoin broke through $122,000, setting a new historical record. This breakthrough instantly ignited market sentiment, attracting massive capital inflows while also triggering violent fluctuations in high-leverage positions.

Statistics show that around the two major technical intervals of $108,279 and $118,809, there is a potential forced liquidation risk totaling $3.7 billion, involving both long and short position clearances. Recently, the market even witnessed a single-day liquidation record exceeding $700 million, demonstrating the fragility of leveraged trading during rapid market movements.

Besides price volatility, institutional fund allocation is also driving significant short-term trend changes. Large token holders like Galaxy Digital once transferred $3.7 billion worth of Bitcoin to exchanges in a single day, triggering short-term investors to sell 26,100 BTC, mostly at a loss. This selling pressure amplified the effect in the derivatives market, with options and perpetual contract chain liquidations exceeding $531 million, creating potential upward momentum while putting pressure on the market at high levels.

Tom Lee Predicts Potential $250,000 by Year-End

Facing market volatility, Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee maintains a strong bullish perspective. He believes that with continuous increase in institutional token holdings, Bitcoin supply tightening due to halving, and stable ETF fund inflows, BTC could potentially rise to between $200,000 and $250,000 by the end of 2025.

This prediction is not only based on capital flow and supply-demand structure changes but also considers Bitcoin's elevated status as a global digital asset allocation tool. Looking further ahead, he even suggests that Bitcoin's market value might approach gold's after final issuance, with long-term imagination of prices reaching millions of dollars.

Bitcoin Hyper Leads Altcoin Seasonal Layout

Parallel to Bitcoin's main chain trend is the potential of Layer 2 innovation track project — Bitcoin Hyper($HYPER). The official statement indicates that as of the 11th of this month, the project has raised $8.3 million in the pre-sale phase, attracting $250,000 in new inflows within just 24 hours. As the first Layer 2 network introducing Solana's virtual machine into the Bitcoin ecosystem, HYPER combines Bitcoin's security with Solana's high-speed processing capabilities, addressing transaction speed and high fee issues.

The project team points out that in this framework, Bitcoin is no longer just a value storage method, but a programmable asset directly applicable to DeFi, gaming, payment, Non-Fungible Token and other scenarios. The whitepaper details its non-custodial bridging mechanism: BTC will be securely locked on the main chain and generate equivalent wrapped BTC on Layer 2, providing near-zero fee and instant transaction experiences. Upon usage completion, wrapped BTC will be destroyed, and original BTC returned to user wallets, balancing efficiency and security.

The project team further states that HYPER's token total supply is fixed at 21 billion, non-expandable, with a burn mechanism to control inflation. Token allocation includes 30% each for development fund and financing, 25% for marketing promotion, with the remainder distributed to community and liquidity support. Token holders can participate in staking with a 241% annual yield and possess governance voting rights, directly influencing protocol upgrades and ecosystem development.

Official data shows the current pre-sale token price at $0.012625, offering a significant discount for early participants. Some analysts believe that during the 2025 altcoin season and Bitcoin's upward cycle, HYPER might have the potential to achieve 10x or even higher growth, becoming a crucial high-growth segment in investment portfolios.
