Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have rebounded dramatically from recent dips, fueled by speculation that the White House is planning a major bitcoin policy shift. As reports surface that U.S. President Donald Trump could be engineering a bitcoin price shock, a cryptic forecast from a legendary Wall Street trader is suddenly proving eerily accurate.
Bitcoin Hits $86,000—And a Wall Street Trader’s Prediction Falls Into Place
The price of bitcoin surged past $86,000, adding $10,000 in just a week, despite a warning from BlackRock CEO Larry Fink about market risks. The rally follows an announcement from Trump’s crypto czar, who revealed that the U.S. Treasury is now working to “maximize the value” of its bitcoin holdings—a move that has left analysts speculating about its potential impact on the crypto market.
Amidst this price surge, a former Wall Street trader known as Josh Mandell—who claims to have worked at the legendary Salomon Brothers—made a stunning prediction back in November that is now unfolding with remarkable accuracy.
Mandell’s Cryptic Bitcoin Price Call—Now Coming True
Mandell, who has gained a following on social media for his bold market calls, wrote in a cryptic X (formerly Twitter) post that bitcoin would reach $444,000 after hitting $84,000 as a key milestone. He specifically pointed to March 14 as the date when bitcoin would first reach and close at that level.
This week, bitcoin indeed closed at $84,000 on March 14, making his prediction eerily accurate—leading to a frenzy among crypto traders.
“I hope that I have established a little credibility with a few of you so that this will help,” Mandell posted on X. “This time is different. The fourth turning is upon us.”
His reference to the “Fourth Turning” comes from a book by William Strauss and Neil Howe, which describes a repeating cycle in history every 80–90 years, divided into four distinct phases—culminating in a period of crisis and transformation. Many crypto enthusiasts believe this theory could apply to bitcoin’s evolution as a global financial asset.
A $444,000 Bitcoin? Mandell’s Poetic Prediction Explained
Mandell, who reportedly turned a $2.1 million investment in bitcoin and MicroStrategy into $23 million in just one year, has continued to fuel speculation with his cryptic messages.
In a poem he posted, he wrote:
“A trio of fours, times a grand, that’s the top, the bitcoin fades.”
Many traders have interpreted this to mean bitcoin will reach $444,000 at the peak of this cycle before experiencing a decline.
“If bitcoin were to close at $84,000 on March 14, it will ‘run the table,’” Mandell posted, refusing to reveal the full methodology behind his prediction.
“The truth is that I have a very specific prediction based on memories of something that happened 30 years ago, combined with thoughts which seem ever-present in my mind,” he wrote.
Shockwaves in the Crypto Community
Mandell’s uncanny accuracy has left traders and analysts stunned. Many are now speculating whether bitcoin is headed toward six-figure territory in the coming months.
“Josh Mandell either controls $10 billion of liquidity or speaks to angels,” one user posted on X.
Another well-known crypto figure, Samson Mow, formerly of bitcoin development firm Blockstream, weighed in on Mandell’s forecast, saying:
“If Josh Mandell is right, omega candles are coming.”
(Omega candles refer to massive green candlesticks on trading charts, symbolizing parabolic price movements.)
What Comes Next for Bitcoin?
With bitcoin surging and Mandell’s first major prediction coming true, all eyes are on the next key level—$100,000. Some analysts believe that the growing institutional adoption, Trump’s potential pro-crypto policies, and global economic uncertainty could continue driving prices higher.
Mandell’s boldest forecast—a staggering $444,000 bitcoin price—still seems distant, but if his track record holds, this rally could be just getting started.
