YoungHoon Kim, popularly recognized for possessing the highest IQ in the world, has generated controversy with his recent Bitcoin price prediction. On November 16, Kim assured that the leading digital asset will climb to 220,000 dollars within a period of just 45 days, challenging current market logic.
On the other hand, this projection emerged in response to an artificial intelligence estimate that placed the valuation at 175,000 dollars by year-end. Kim, who claims to have an IQ of 276, stated that this move is highly likely and pledged to use all his profits to build churches globally. Currently, with the asset trading around 95,400 dollars, his forecast requires a vertical rally without immediate precedents.
Likewise, this is not the first time this figure has made extreme statements, as he previously claimed to have converted his entire wealth to the digital asset. He maintains that this technology will become the only ultimate reserve asset of the future economy, surpassing gold and bonds. However, his credibility has been questioned by psychometric experts who doubt the veracity of his intellectual records.
Is it realistic to expect a massive rally amidst recent millionaire losses?
However, financial reality shows a different landscape, as the market has erased 1.1 trillion dollars in capitalization over the last few weeks. Analysts point out that institutional capital outflows and daily liquidations exceeding 500 million dollars make achieving the target proposed by Kim practically impossible. Expert Arthur Azizov warns that the current trend responds to a corrective and mechanical structure.
In this way, it is crucial to observe the liquidity zone located between 89,000 and 94,000 dollars, where the short-term direction will be defined. If sellers maintain pressure on the cryptocurrencies market, the price could descend towards the 72,000 dollar support, a level that would invalidate any hope of reaching new all-time highs before the end of the year 2026.
