Bitget CEO Gracy Chen isn’t convinced that Bitcoin’s recent rally to $79,000 marks the end of the bear market.
She is keeping a significant portion of her portfolio in stablecoins and watching for a drop of more than $25,000 from current prices as a potential level to buy back into Bitcoin. “I would say $50K is the number that I’m looking at for my personal Bitcoin buyback sort of price,” Chen tells the Trade Secrets show.
That being said, Chen isn’t claiming to have any special insight into where Bitcoin’s notoriously unpredictable price is headed. She also thinks its possible Bitcoin could end the year $20,000 higher.
“I’m just an exchange CEO,” Chen laughs. “We are not good at analyzing Bitcoin price. We’re just good at providing a trading platform for all the analysts and traders to trade,” she adds.

Chen is also far from alone in expecting Bitcoin to potentially move lower, despite Bitcoin being up more than 20% in the past week.
Transform Ventures founder Michael Terpin told Trade Secrets at the beginning of August that “we still have more pain to go.” Terpin believes that Bitcoin will ultimately fall “66%” from its October 2025 all-time high of $126,100. “I think that brings us down into the 40s, and I think that’s about where we’re gonna go,” Terpin says.
Before this week’s rally, veteran trader Peter Brandt also tipped Bitcoin’s price to reach a bottom on Oct. 4.
Chen isn’t putting a firm date on Bitcoin’s potential move to $50,000, she just believes it’s likely:
“I wouldn’t say whatever I predicted is that meaningful, but again it’s just my personal sort of thought around now. I don’t have a particular date or month in mind for when I think Bitcoin could hit $50,000. Later this year might be a good estimate, or maybe next year.”
While Chen is humble enough to describe herself as “just an exchange CEO,” that really undersells what she has accomplished over her 36 years.
