Analyst Sets Bitcoin Profit Targets as Far as $400K BTC Price

In a recent tweet, Ali Martinez, a market analyst, outlined a strategy to leverage Bitcoin’s potential bull run, targeting profits as high as $400,000 or more. He stresses the importance of protecting capital for the next bear market, using historical market trends to guide his approach.

Nobody knows the exact #Bitcoin top. So we need to protect our capital for the next bear market.

Here’s my plan:

– Sell 25% at $173K-$200K, 30% at $200K-$300K, 30% at $300K-$400K, & 15% at $400K+

– Use a 15%-20% trailing stop-loss after $170K

– If Oct 2025 hits, sell—no… https://t.co/VxgkQcR3Tw

Profit-Taking Strategy

Martinez’s plan involves a staggered profit-taking strategy. He aims to sell 25% of his Bitcoin (BTC) holdings if the price hits the $173,000–$200,000 range. Another 30% will be sold when Bitcoin reaches $200,000–$300,000, followed by an additional 30% if the price climbs to $300,000–$400,000. According to his tweet, the final 15% will be sold if BTC surpasses $400,000.

To further protect his profits, Martinez plans to use a trailing stop-loss strategy. This means that once Bitcoin’s price exceeds $170,000, he will set a rule to automatically sell some of his assets if the price drops by 15% to 20%. This way, if Bitcoin continues to rise, Martinez can still benefit from the price increase, but if the price falls, the stop-loss will help lock in some of his gains before it drops too much.

The analyst also plans to fully exit his position by October 2025, regardless of Bitcoin’s market price. Based on patterns from previous market cycles, Martinez anticipates Bitcoin could peak between $173,779 and $461,862 by that date.

Optimistic Outlook for Bitcoin

This is not the first time Martinez has predicted a price peak in 2025. In August, he shared his optimistic outlook for Bitcoin, suggesting it could follow its historical halving performance and hit its market top in October 2025. The prediction came after Bitcoin’s price fell from its peak of over $73,700 to $58,400 in August.

Martinez’s strategy is based on the behavior of previous Bitcoin cycles, particularly the pattern seen around 530 days after halving. He expects this cycle to mirror past trends.

Meanwhile, Bernstein analysts forecast Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, driven by strong demand for spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The firm predicts BTC ETFs will manage around $190 billion in assets by 2025, representing a considerable increase from the current estimated $106 billion.
