Renowned crypto trader Gordan, well-known for his bold market predictions, has stirred discussions across the cryptocurrency community with his latest forecast. Taking to X (Twitter), Gordan shared his optimistic targets for major cryptocurrencies heading into Q1 2025. “My Q1 2025 targets: BTC: $135k, ETH: $9.5k and SOL: $750. Am I too bullish or not bullish enough?” he tweeted.
Bold Targets Amidst Market Volatility
These ambitious predictions come at a time of heightened market activity, with Bitcoin (BTC) recently achieving a significant milestone by surpassing the $100,000 mark. However, BTC has seen a slight pullback, trading at $98,052.66, down 4.77% in the last 24 hours.
Ethereum (ETH) also made headlines, with strong bull signals a few days ago. Currently trading at $3,878.43, ETH is down a modest 1.47% in the past 24 hours but has gained over 8% in the last seven days, showcasing strong bullish momentum.
Solana (SOL), meanwhile, is trading at $233.60, experiencing a 4.22% dip in the past day. This drop follows reports that the U.S. SEC is preparing to reject applications for spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The news indicates that the SEC has informed at least two ETF applicants of their pending denial, casting uncertainty over SOL’s near-term trajectory.
Gordan’s Controversial Moves
Gordan is no stranger to controversy in the crypto space. Recently, he made waves by opening a substantial $250,000 short position on XRP, anticipating a decline in the token’s price. Gordan saw a staggering $5 million return.
The Ripple community had expressed mixed reactions to Gordan’s bold strategy. Some have accused the trader of deliberately trying to destabilize XRP’s momentum at a time when the token has been striving to recover from market volatility.
Despite the skepticism surrounding his predictions, Gordan’s track record has earned him a significant following. His Q1 2025 targets for BTC, ETH, and SOL may seem lofty, but given the current market sentiment, they are not entirely implausible.Â
The crypto market’s ongoing bull run, coupled with increasing institutional interest, suggests that these cryptocurrencies could continue their upward trajectory.
As market volatility persists, all eyes will be on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to see if they can meet or even exceed Gordan’s bold forecasts.
