Popular market analyst and key opinion leader (KOL) Ted Pillows is projecting 
the crypto market to hit a $4.5 trillion valuation before Q3 2025 ends. This 
interestingly bullish forecast comes off the back of another Bitcoin price 
rejection allowing the total crypto market cap to maintain the choppy price 
movement seen in the last month. Related Reading: Bitcoin Near Historic Weekly 
Close Despite Drop – Analyst Warns Of Volatile Weekend Rally Ahead? Crypto 
Market Tests $3.5T Barrier In an X post on July 4, Pillows shares an 
insightful technical analysis on the total crypto market cap. Using the daily 
CryptoCap chart from Tradingview, the renowned analyst highlights the recent 
formation of a bull flag hinting at an impending price breakout. For context, 
the bull flag is a classic bullish continuation pattern. It starts with the 
formation of a flagpole i.e. a strong upward price movement, as seen between 
early April to late May when Bitcoin reached a new all-time high. This 
structure is followed by the “flag,” i.e., a descending price channel that 
reflects a period of consolidation. This market action is seen from late May 
to the present, as the crypto market cap entered a temporary pullback phase. 
Pillows’ analysis shows a complete bull flag formation. However, the crypto 
market cap must achieve a decisive price close above the $3.5 trillion mark 
which represents the upper boundary of the flag to confirm a price breakout. 
If this bullish scenario occurs, Ted Pillows predicts the crypto total market 
cap to surge to around $4.3 trillion &#8211; $4.5 trillion in Q3 2025. Considering 
its market dominance levels of 62.77%, Bitcoin’s market cap could also rise to 
around $2.82 trillion in such bullish conditions providing a market price of 
$141,800 per unit. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that the occurrence of an 
altseason amidst this crypto price surge could alter the projected market 
status for the premier cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Ethereum Approaches
