Macro Analyst Warns: Bitcoin's Path to $150,000 Unlikely Without Major Catalyst

Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Macro Analyst Who Announced He Sold All His Bitcoins by the End of 2025 Issues Serious Warning! “$150,000 Doesn’t Seem Possible, Don’t Be Overconfident!” Original Link: While institutional investors will play a significant role in Bitcoin’s all-time highs in 2025, the same may not be true for 2026.

At this point, macroeconomist Luke Gromen stated that institutional investors may not be able to do much to boost the price of Bitcoin this year.

According to renowned macroeconomist Luke Gromen, institutional investors are unlikely to push Bitcoin to new highs this year unless a major event occurs that triggers an upward market move.

Gromen emphasized that institutional investors generally prefer a cautious approach, waiting for clear events and reasons before driving up prices.

“Without a strong underlying catalyst, it seems unlikely that institutions will be able to drive Bitcoin to a new high this year.”

“If you’re relying on institutional investors to drive the price from $90,000 to $150,000, it’s highly unlikely without a significant catalyst. That’s not how institutional investors work. They sit back and say, ‘I’ll wait.’ And they probably will.”

Bitcoin’s price rising from its current level of approximately $89,900 to $150,000 represents a 67% increase and an 18.86% rise from its recent all-time high of $126,198.

Gromen recently warned that extreme scenarios, such as the escalating trade tensions and a recession, could cause Bitcoin to fall to $60,000, triggering forced sell-offs.

As you may recall, Luke Gromen announced that he would sell all of his Bitcoin holdings by the end of 2025.
