Max Keiser, the outspoken Bitcoin advocate and El Salvador presidential adviser, has doubled down on his ultra‑bullish 2025 thesis, arguing that macroeconomic strain and fiat debasement could drive BTC far higher next year.
Why Keiser thinks Bitcoin could explode higher
Keiser’s argument, shared again via a Crypto Miners post on X, ties directly to U.S. sovereign debt dynamics. With total U.S. debt topping roughly $36 trillion and annual interest costs approaching $1 trillion, he says capital will seek protection from inflation and currency dilution — and that a fixed‑supply asset like Bitcoin is a prime beneficiary. Keiser has publicly suggested that these pressures could push BTC toward the multi‑million‑dollar range, a view that flows from his long-standing “fixed supply vs unlimited money printing” framework.
Skeptics push back
Not everyone is convinced. Critics point out that despite recurring high‑conviction calls, Bitcoin has traded below $100,000 through much of 2025, and note that macro fears have not yet produced the outsized price moves some bulls forecast. Supporters counter that the 21 million cap makes BTC uniquely positioned against sovereign debt expansion and persistent inflation.
Technical picture: short‑term chop, longer‑term structure intact
Market commentator The Penguin offered a technical read that tempers immediate excitement. On lower timeframes (LTF), Bitcoin’s structure looks “a bit less impulsive” but not decisively changed — recent swings resemble short‑term noise rather than a trend reversal. The Penguin characterizes the move as a leading diagonal for wave 1 in Elliott Wave terms, but says that when you set Elliott Wave aside and rely on standard technicals, BTC is simply trading inside a well‑defined range. Low Sunday volume has contributed to the chop.
Key levels and trade ideas
Traders should watch a few technical cues: The Penguin is focusing on long setups and monitoring a possible shallow dip toward the 0.886 Fibonacci retracement. Crucially, a decisive acceptance back above $90,500 would invalidate the bearish scenario and reinforce the bullish case. Overall, the analyst sees the broader structure as solid heading into the yearly open, with some altcoins and miners (notably XPL) showing relative strength.
Momentum will likely decide the next leg
Crypto investor Titan of Crypto flagged that Bitcoin’s high‑timeframe (HTF) price action resembles historical turning points — pointing to patterns similar to Q2 2021 and earlier in 2025. While HTF structure looks comparable to those precedents, momentum indicators are showing signs of weakening. That suggests the next major move will hinge on whether momentum can re‑accelerate (supporting a fresh uptrend) or confirm exhaustion (opening the door to deeper consolidation).
Bottom line — what to watch
Keiser’s macro argument — rising sovereign debt and fiat weakness benefiting a capped‑supply asset — remains a core bullish narrative for Bitcoin. But traders and investors will be watching market internals closely: momentum on HTF charts, price behavior around $90,500, and whether low‑volume chop resolves toward a clean directional breakout. Until then, the debate between macro bulls and technical skeptics is likely to persist.
