CZ: Bitcoin’s Current Price Is Still a Chance to Buy Before the Next Peak
Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $123,000 yesterday after several days of strong gains, but the rally has slowed, with the price now around $116,000—a drop of just over 4% in the past 24 hours. Still, the surge has rewarded long-term holders who bought earlier dips, and many view this pullback as a brief pause in a broader upward trend. Despite the recent climb, some experts believe this is still a window to accumulate more, pointing to the long-term potential beyond the current highs.
In Brief
- CZ says Bitcoin’s current price is still a buying opportunity in a larger market cycle.
- Robert Kiyosaki urges new buyers to start small, saying it’s not too late to invest in Bitcoin.
- Bernstein projects Bitcoin could reach $200K by 2026, citing strong institutional demand.
Changpeng Zhao highlights continued buying opportunities
Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, shared his view on the recent market activity. On July 11, he wrote on X that even with Bitcoin’s strong performance in recent days, the current price still offers room to build long-term positions. According to him, the journey is far from over.
Zhao pointed out that dips are a normal part of market cycles. He expects more of them to come, which means fresh chances for investors who missed earlier opportunities. In his view, current price levels still offer a buying opportunity, as the broader cycle suggests Bitcoin hasn’t yet reached its full potential.
Rather than worrying about short-term highs, Zhao encourages people to consider Bitcoin’s bigger picture. One key reason Bitcoin holds value is because there’s a limited supply and no single authority controls it. Especially when inflation is high, these features make it an appealing option for many investors, helping them stay confident even when prices change.
Catching up isn’t too late
Financial author and investor Robert Kiyosaki also commented after Bitcoin passed the $120,000 mark. He has long supported alternative assets and continues to advocate for Bitcoin.
Kiyosaki believes people who already own Bitcoin are in a strong position right now. At the same time, he acknowledges that some people may feel they missed the boat. Still, he doesn’t think it’s too late to begin. His advice is simple—start small.
Kiyosaki also referenced Warren Buffett’s current strategy, noting that the Berkshire Hathaway chairman is holding $350 billion in cash. He believes Buffett is waiting for a market correction, at which point the cash could be used to buy valuable assets at discounted prices. Kiyosaki’s takeaway: staying informed and patient can be just as important as acting quickly.
If you have not begun acquiring BITCOIN….I suggest starting very small….starting with a Satoshi. Remember Warren Buffett is out of stocks and sitting on $350 billion in cash. I suspect he is waiting for the world to crash…. Then he will move back in and buy the best assets with cash. Time to get smarter and best time to get rich….if you are smart, patient, studying….and aware.

Institutional interest fuels optimism for bitcoin’s future
Even with the current price drop, the mood among major players in the market remains upbeat. Analysts at Bernstein believe the crypto bull market is far from over. They see it stretching through 2026, powered in part by growing institutional interest.
Bernstein has set a price target of $200,000 for Bitcoin by early 2026. That figure is based on expectations of continued demand from both retail and professional investors.
Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that many public companies are increasing their exposure. Over the past week, 12 companies added to their Bitcoin holdings. The top 100 publicly traded firms with Bitcoin on their balance sheets now hold a combined total of 858,723 BTC.
This trend shows that institutional support for Bitcoin is not just talk—it’s happening in real time. As more major companies and funds allocate to Bitcoin, it adds stability and legitimacy to the market.
While no one can predict prices with certainty, some investors are still betting on short-term growth. On Polymarket, the odds of Bitcoin reaching $125,000 before the end of July sit at 45%. The chances of hitting $130,000 this month are estimated at 20%. Those numbers suggest a mix of optimism and caution, but belief in continued upward movement remains strong.
