AI predicts current bitcoin cycle top between $100k and $288k

A few months ago we challenged various AI services to give us a bitcoin price prediction. We don’t do predictions, AI told us, but it seems we weren’t specific enough in our requests.

We just did the exercise again and got some interesting answers: DeepSeek puts it at $180k-$220k in the current cycle.

This is the question we posed, based on this from X:

Formulate a bitcoin price prediction for the next cycle top, using the most accurate method possible. Provide the price as well as the month and year of this predicted price top.

ChatGPT puts it at $150k-$200k, based on a harvest of predictions from others, such as InvestingHaven, 10X Research and MarketVector Indices.

Using the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model, bitcoin’s price could reach anywhere between $100k and $288k. The cycle top is expected in October 2025.

Perplexity.ai gave us the following prediction:

Predicted Price: Approximately $200,000 (with potential peaks averaging around $230,000) based on historical data and statistical modelling techniques.

This is based on the Pi Cycle Top Indicator which has historically shown accuracy in predicting market cycle highs (within three days). Basically, the Pi Cycle Top is two moving averages (111 and 350 days X2) – when the 111-day moving average crosses the 350-day moving average (times 2), this has been a good time to sell.

Here’s an example (the yellow line is the 111-day MA, the green line is the 350-day MA X 2). The dotted red lines indicate when the 111-day MA crosses the green line and it has been remarkably accurate in calling the cycle tops.

There’s some food for thought.
