Killa, a quant trader focused on BTC, predicted the peak of this bull cycle in May 2025, and has over 200k followers on the X platform. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688, and during the market-wide drop on June 5, he switched to going long.

Killa’s prediction is based on his identity as a quant trader; at its core, his view is a concrete execution of the “cycle acceleration thesis” at the trading level. His short above $74k in mid-April and his switch to long in June are two key actions under the same trading framework; the main logic is to capture the high-volatility opportunities brought by cycle acceleration.
Recently, several well-known traders (such as James Wynn) have publicly expressed similar views—“new highs before the halving”—and have built large long positions. This is not an isolated opinion, but rather a convergence of trading strategies based on on-chain data (such as the proportion of profitable addresses) and expectations for macro liquidity.
Killa set his stop-loss at $31,950, which is far below the “strong support” area that the broader market currently believes in. This both reflects his caution about a potential deep pullback and suggests his strategy has ample contingency for extreme volatility—his position management is more critical than simply calling for a rise.
