Valentine’s Day could deliver more than chocolates for Bitcoin (BTC) investors, as ChatGPT’s latest BTC projection is raising the stakes for short-term traders.
Specifically, when prompted by Finbold to set an average BTC price for Valentine’s Day, February 14, OpenAI’s leading machine learning algorithm predicted some scenarios would see ‘digital gold’ trading above $120,000.
ChatGPT predicts Bitcoin price for February 14
Of course, it would take a number of bullish developments to see Bitcoin nearly double in price in just two days. According to artificial intelligence (AI), these primarily include exceptional institutional moves, supportive macro conditions, and liquidity expansion.
A more likely, base-case scenario comes with a price range of $85,000–$110,000. This figure, ChatGPT reasoned, is also the central probability range for February 2026 in general, if BTC continues to recover and breaks key resistance levels while institutional demand remains steady.
If things go south, that is, if Bitcoin ETF flows turn weak, macro pressure continues, and risk-off sentiment turns sour, the price could remain stuck between $60,000–$80,000.
Of all the possible targets, the most probable range for Bitcoin this Saturday, ChatGPT argued, is $85,000–$110,000. According to the algorithm, this prediction reflects the most realistic upside potential while accounting for volatility concerns.
Will Bitcoin double in value?
ChatGPT’s prediction is discernibly bullish and does not appear to reflect investor concern this year, which has not been alleviated by the ongoing signs of stabilization.
Indeed, while Bitcoin is up around 2% on the daily chart on Thursday, February 12, moving toe-to-toe with the broader crypto market over the same period, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures market sentiment on a scale from “Extreme Fear” to “Extreme Greed,” currently sits at 8 out of 100.
While this is not the lowest reading on record (it plunged to 5 on February 6), the current level still reflects near-historic pessimism. In other words, the number suggests traders are highly reluctant to deploy capital and may be quick to exit positions at the first sign of renewed weakness.
This casts doubt on more optimistic projections such as that given by ChatGPT and, for example, Bernstein’s forecast that Bitcoin could rally to a new all-time high of $150,000 in 2026. Accordingly, the current price action suggests stabilization rather than strong recovery momentum.
