Timothy Peterson says that simulations of data over the past decade show that Bitcoin will surpass $140,000 by this month.
“There is a 50% chance Bitcoin finishes the month above $140k,” Peterson said In an X-post on Wednesday. “But there is a 43% chance Bitcoin finishes below $136k,” He added.
BitcoinBTCAt its current value of $122,032, the price has dropped after it reached a record high. $126,200 on Monday, according CoinMarketCap.
Peterson claimed that the simulation proves “half of Bitcoin’s October gains may have already happened. He told Cointelegraph that the simulation uses Bitcoin’s daily price data from 2015 to model how the market behaves over time.
Prediction “Not human emotions or biased opinions”
Peterson said the prediction stemmed from “There are hundreds of simulations that use only real data and not biased opinions or human emotions.”
“The price movements are based upon the real-time volatility of Bitcoin and its rhythm.” he added.
Bitcoin opened Oct. 1 at roughly $116,500, and a rise to $140,000 would represent a 20.17% gain for the month, closely matching Bitcoin’s historical October average.
October has been Bitcoin’s second-best-performing month on average since 2013, delivering typical gains of 20.75%, according CoinGlass
Peterson claims that forecasting avoids “bias” and noise” that influences short-term sentiment.
“This gives a very clear picture of the most probable direction in which Bitcoin will go.” he said.
However, there have been many instances over the years where Bitcoin has diverged from broader market expectations and failed to follow past patterns, even when data suggested otherwise with high confidence.
