The reason for the increase in the price of Bitcoin does not depend on any person or group or any channel, Bitcoin is in its own momentum this bull season.
But BTC is only just a thing and without us, it is also nothing. There is Satoshi its founder but we don't even know if he is still alive or not and even if he is alive, I don't think he will have enough money to pump the price of BTC. A single person has less power in terms of manipulation but if many people are doing the same thing, then it is still possible for them to influence the price of BTC.
However, the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise until mid-2025, but it is certain that this year 2025 will create an all-time high record that has not come close to this record in previous years. By mid-2025, the price of Bitcoin is very likely to touch at least 150,000 to 170,000 dollars.
There is no way for us to tell if the price increase will continue or if how long the duration of its increase. I think we have hitted another ATH this year and I don't think what you said of : ↴

is possible because that seems a huge increase already within a short span of time. $150k might still be possible, although I think it will occur on the 3rd and final quarter of this year.
