According to viral posts circulating on social media, a dramatic Bitcoin forecast is drawing attention this week. Bitcoin is trading around $93,700, down about 26% from its October peak of $126,200.
Reports have disclosed a November drop that brought a 15% correction earlier in the month. Short bursts above $96,000 have already faded, and at one point the price slipped below $93,000.
Bold Prediction From A High IQ Claimant
YoungHoon Kim, who has publicly claimed an IQ of 276, says Bitcoin will hit $220,000 within 45 days. Based on reports, that would mean roughly a 130% gain from current levels.
His forecast was shared in a short clip on X, where he offered no technical charts or on-chain evidence to support the jump. He did, however, pledge to donate 100% of any profits he makes from the rally to “build churches for Jesus Christ in every nation,” a motive he cited alongside his bullish view.
As World’s Highest IQ Record Holder, I expect #BITCOIN is going to $220,000 in the next 45 days.
I will use 100% of my Bitcoin profits to build churches for Jesus Christ in every nation.

Market Moves And Sentiment
Price action has been choppy. There was a quick rise to about $96,000 that failed to hold, then a retreat below $94,000. Several tries to break and stay above $100,000 have not stuck, and trader confidence has slipped.
Based on reports, some market watchers point to panic selling by short-term holders and position rotation among “OG”, or longer-term holders as drivers of this volatility.
Institutional buying and long-term holders are still present in the market, and their activity provides liquidity that some believe will support prices over time.
How This Fits Other Forecasts
Other bullish calls are being cited alongside Kim’s prediction. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has maintained a year-end target range of $200K-$250K. A technician known as Egrag Crypto has also highlighted a $220,000 level in past commentary.
Reports show these targets overlap, but the methods behind them differ, and the timing is not always tied to the same drivers.
Technical And Practical Hurdles
Reaching $220,000 within weeks would require Bitcoin to reclaim price zones that have flipped from support into resistance.
That means buying pressure would need to outpace selling across multiple price levels. No single indicator guarantees such a sharp move, and the short-term past performance demonstrates how quickly sentiment can shift.
