Every year-end, some of the top crypto analysts and crypto firms reflect on the industry’s performance, and look forward to the next year. Traditionally, the top digital assets, like Dogecoin, are subject to market analysis and price predictions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dominates 2024, Outperforms Gold And Major Indices – Details Galaxy Digital, a leading blockchain company, has joined the conversations and offers its price prediction for Dogecoin, the market’s leading meme coin. According to the Galaxy Digital team, Dogecoin will finally breach $1 this year and top a $100 billion market cap. In its Crypto Predictions Report, the team expects that Dogecoin’s potential performance and market cap may be affected by the new Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) operations, which they expect to call for cuts, impacting Dogecoin’s market capitalization. Dogecoin On Track To Hit $1 Soon? As part of this year’s wrap-up, Galaxy Digital has published its predictions for top digital assets and the industry in general. In a report published on its official website on December 31st, the company offers its team’s take on Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and meme coins like Dogecoin. According to an opinion by Alex Thorn of the Galaxy Digital team, they see the world’s top meme coin finally hitting the $1 mark and its market cap finally reaching $100 billion. The target of $100 billion as a market cap is surprising since no other meme coins have achieved this feat. In 2021, Dogecoin surged in price and, for a moment, hit $98.7 billion, but its price immediately retreated. What To Expect From Dogecoin, According To Galaxy Digital If Dogecoin’s market cap finally reaches the $100 billion valuation, the token’s price will have hit $0.678, still below its all-time high of $0.739. If Dogecoin’s price surges to $0.678 to finally hit the $100 billion mark, it means that the price will have jumped by 87%. However, the Galaxy Digital team believes that $0.678 isn’t the price peak for Dogecoin this year. According to their estimates, Dogecoin will finally surpass its current all-time high and top $1. If this scenario happens, Dogecoin’s market cap will be $147.47 billion, an increase of 176% from its current valuation.

According to Thorn, Bitcoin will trade past $150k during the year’s first half and may test $185k by the last quarter. Thorn adds that the top digital asset will get support from increasing institutional adoption. The team expects Ethereum to trade over $5,500, adding that the second-best blockchain will benefit from favorable regulatory conditions for staking and DeFi. Ethereum will also benefit from the growing number of companies that will test their Layer 2 networks using Ethereum’s technology. Featured image by Anna Shvets from Pexels, chart from TradingView
Following a mild price rebound in the past week, Bitcoin (BTC) has surged above 98,000 with the market bulls aiming for a return to the $100,000 price zone.

The Bitcoin market has begun 2025 on a positive note with gains over 5% in the first four days of the year. Amidst this renewed bullish strength, Bitcoin is preparing for a vital encounter with the $99,900 capable of significantly altering its price trajectory in the short term. Related Reading: Bitcoin Remains Below $100,000: Is the Bull Market Over or Just Taking a Breather? Bull Flag Or Bear Flag, Bitcoin Bulls To Call In an X post on January 3, crypto analyst with username Plan D shared an analytical commentary on Bitcoin’s price. Plan D stated the premier cryptocurrency is currently forming a “moon flag” that will face major resistance at $99,900. A “moon flag” here likely refers to a chart pattern that will result in a dramatic price gain upon confirmation. It is based on the bull flag which is a continuation pattern that occurs during an uptrend indicating potential breakout and further price gains. A bull flag is characterized by a period of consolidation after a sharp price gain followed by an uptrend. For Bitcoin’s “moon flag” to become valid, Plan D states the asset must break and stay above $99,900, which may result in a sustained price rise to around $108,000. However, if Bitcoin fails to move above $99,900, this development may indicate confirmation of a bear flag—a bearish chart pattern that mirrors the bull flag but indicates downward momentum instead. In this case, Bitcoin is projected to fall as low as 78,000 indicating a potential 20.3% from its current market price and 27.7% from its all-time high of $108,268. Plan D notes that while altcoins are currently a profit zone for most investors with Bitcoin Dominance on the decline, the crypto market is not safely on an upward trajectory until Bitcoin breaks above $99,900.

However, the premier cryptocurrency remains in the red zone on its monthly chart with a 0.77% loss Amidst Bitcoin’s ongoing price rebound, traders are taking profit as evidenced by a recent reduction in long position on Binance from 66.33% to 56.85%. However, long positions remaining dominant over short positions by 13.7%, indicate that the majority of Binance traders still anticipate Bitcoin to maintain its current uptrend. These bullish sentiments in the Bitcoin market are only likely to grow stronger in the coming days as Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration approaches. Many enthusiasts expect the US President-elect to lead a pro-crypto government based on his electoral campaign promises. Featured image from Investopedia, chart from Tradingview.com
In a promising development, the Bitcoin price is inching closer to the coveted $100,000 mark as it trades above $98,000 for the first time since late December. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted several critical metrics that could signal further bullish momentum for the leading cryptocurrency as the market begins to recover. Bitcoin Price Surges Amid Coinbase Premium Index Low One of the significant indicators discussed by Martinez is the Coinbase Premium Index, which recently hit -0.23%, its lowest point in two years. This index measures the price difference between Bitcoin on Coinbase and other exchanges. A negative premium suggests that US-based investors may be less willing to pay a premium for Bitcoin, but the current rebound could indicate a shift toward growing institutional interest in the asset. Related Reading: Prepare For A Solana Sell-Off: How Grayscale’s 2025 Unlocks Could Shake The Market Martinez also noted that the recent uptick in the Bitcoin price comes amid a notable withdrawal trend, with over 48,000 BTC—valued at more than $4.5 billion—pulled from exchanges in the past week. This trend indicates a bullish sentiment among investors, despite a brief price correction that occurred late last year. Despite these positive signals, Martinez cautions that Bitcoin is at a crucial juncture. He emphasized the importance of sustaining a close above the 50-day moving average (MA), currently just above $96,000. A failure to maintain this level could lead to a potential downward correction. Conversely, a sustained close above the 50-day MA could signal the end of the recent correction and confirm a more robust bullish trend. Strong Upward Move Expected After Wave Three Breakout In addition to Martinez’s insights, the Elliot Wave Academy has provided a technical analysis of the recent Bitcoin price movements, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is currently in the fourth wave of a larger bullish cycle. The academy’s analysis indicates that after a powerful breakout from a price channel, Bitcoin has successfully surpassed the ideal level of wave three, which may signal a strong upward move. The fourth wave, according to their analysis, is characterized by a sideways pattern following the sharp rise of wave three. The potential correction zones for this wave have been identified, and should these levels be breached, the next upward wave could target a Bitcoin price range between $117,475.70 and $138,058.37. These figures represent major bullish targets that could attract further investment and drive Bitcoin’s price higher. Related Reading: Dogecoin Recovery In Sight: Strong Support Hints At Bullish 2025 All around, as the Bitcoin price continues its upward trajectory, the combination of significant withdrawals from exchanges, a low Coinbase Premium Index, and positive Elliott Wave analysis paints a compelling picture for the cryptocurrency’s future. However, investors should remain vigilant, keeping an eye on critical price levels that could determine the market’s next move. At the time of writing, the market’s leading crypto is trading at $98,320. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
If there’s one crypto asset that is expected to make it big this 2025, it has got to be Bitcoin. The premiere crypto has demonstrated remarkable success as it ushers in 2025. Registering solid numbers in the last few weeks, analysts have high hopes that it can make further breakthroughs. In fact, based on latest research, Bitcoin has surpassed conventional asset classes such as gold, cementing the optimism behind the coin. The digital coin’s success this year is unsurprising, attributable to several advantageous market conditions, including Donald Trump’s victory in the recent US elections. Related Reading: Bitcoin Remains Below $100,000: Is the Bull Market Over or Just Taking a Breather? According to a report from Creative Planning, and from a post on Twitter/X by Charlie Bilello, Bitcoin’s performance dwarfed the results of other asset classes, with gold offering returns of just 26%. The same data shows the Nasdaq 100 gained 25%, US large caps 24%, mid-caps 13%, and convertible bonds 10%. Although proving showing decent numbers, Bitcoin is still a volatile asset with dramatic price swings. With the exception of Long Duration Treasuries, every major asset finished higher in 2024 with Bitcoin leading the way for the second straight year.https://t.co/l5IYmkf6Ih pic.twitter.com/TyStoT73rp — Charlie Bilello (@charliebilello) January 1, 2025 Bitcoin Edges Gold And Other US Indexes Although Bitcoin has received a few criticisms and was the subject of regulatory actions, it remains a top-performing asset class. Since 2011, BTC has led all other asset classes, except for at least three years where it yielded negative returns to holders. For example, in 2018, Bitcoin’s yield was at -73%. But most of the time, Bitcoin was a consistent performer, and there were even some instances when yields topped 1,000%. According to the same chart, Bitcoin even offered yields of 1,437% in 2011, even beating long-term treasuries with a “modest” 34%. There were instances when Bitcoin’s yield disappointed its holders and investors. If we check the asset’s yield this year, we’ll discover that it’s lower than last year’s 156% return. Last year, Bitcoin was also the top performer among major asset classes, also beating gold. Bitcoin Shows Strength, But Volatility Remains While most of the past 14 years have seen great performance of Bitcoin against other asset classes, its volatility still raises questions. Owning Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies always has hazards related to erratic price swings and even policy announcements.

Steno Research predicts a fantastic year for cryptocurrencies in 2025, with Bitcoin seen to reach $150,000 and Ethereum potentially hitting an $8,000 value. Related Reading: Shiba Inu 260% Rally: Analyst Sees Classic Bullish Patterns Emerging This projection isn’t just speculative; Steno’s analysis cites a number of positive economic variables, rising institutional interest, and the growing presence of cryptocurrency ETFs. However, the question remains: can these digital assets genuinely reach such amazing milestones? The Crypto ETF Boom: A Game Changer? Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are likely to play a significant role. Bitcoin, in particular, is expected to profit from nearly $50 billion in net inflows as institutional investors become more interested in these products. Ethereum is still a big player, but it’s expected to get $28 billion, thanks to similar trends in usage. These funds could bring a lot of cash into the cryptocurrency market, which would cause prices to rise even more. Similar to 2024, we expect the U.S. crypto ETFs to take center stage once again in 2025, partly due to the direct buying pressure they generate and partly because they serve as a proxy for non-native crypto retail and institutional interest in the asset class. We project that… pic.twitter.com/T8cs5gEbJy — Mads Eberhardt (@MadsEberhardt) December 30, 2024 Regulations And Macroeconomics: The Perfect Storm Supportive rules are another important factor in Steno Research’s hopeful prognosis. As governments throughout the world shift their sentiment on digital assets, cryptocurrencies’ prospects improve. Bitcoin’s solid price performance in particular appears to be linked to the rising acceptance of cryptocurrency as a viable asset class. This, paired with good macroeconomic conditions, prepares Bitcoin and Ethereum for tremendous growth over the next coming months. Bitcoin And Long-Term Strategy The research believes 2025 macroeconomic conditions will support the growth of cryptocurrencies. The popularity of cryptocurrencies as an inflation hedge and store of wealth boosts investor confidence. This implies that mainstream investors are more likely to use Bitcoin for long-term portfolio diversification, while Ethereum’s potential for decentralized finance and smart contracts makes it an attractive alternative. Some analysts believe Bitcoin’s price will rise as consumer and institutional demand grows. Ethereum’s adoption in DeFi and NFT marketplaces suggests a price hike. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Enter Its Most Massive Bull Cycle? This Engineer Thinks So Is 2025 The Year Of Cryptocurrency? The 2025 forecast from Steno Research is optimistic, but it is not risk-free. These projections could be affected by changes in regulations, market volatility, and general economic conditions. However, there is no doubt that Bitcoin and Ethereum have a great chance of rising to new heights, especially if present trends continue. According to market forecasts, cryptocurrency markets will soon shift toward more widespread mainstream use, with new financial products and ETFs making it easier for institutional investors to get involved. As we begin the new year, the question remains: are we actually on the verge of the best year ever for cryptocurrency, or is this just another speculative bubble about to burst?

The Bitcoin price’s market dynamics have taken an interesting turn as the cryptocurrency adjusts its cycle patterns following a sharp decline below the psychological $100,000 price level. Crypto analyst Bob Loukas shared his perspective on social media platform X, noting a potential shift from a 56-day to a 60-day cycle. According to the analyst, this raises the question of whether Bitcoin could rebound to the upside from here or continue its consolidation for the next two months. Bitcoin Price Shift To A 60-Day Cycle Cryptocurrency markets are influenced by cyclical patterns that have become an important part of crypto analysts’ technical analysis. These cycles are defined by repetitive patterns of highs, lows, and consolidations and are used by analysts who look at past performance to predict future price action. These are often combined with technical indicators like Fibonacci extensions and retracements and patterns of Elliot Waves. Related Reading: XRP Price Targets $13 After Completing Highest Candle Body Close In History – Details In the case of Bitcoin, Bitcoin’s price movements in the current bull market have been highlighted by a close mirror of previous cycles. According to technical analysis, the leading cryptocurrency has been playing out in a 56-day cycle for most of the current market cycle. This 56-day cycle was spotlighted by Bitcoin’s break over various price levels until it broke above the six-digit threshold at $100,000. After breaking above $100,000, Bitcoin seemed to stumble at first but eventually regained a bit of momentum to reach an all-time high of $108,135 on December 17. Since then, however, Bitcoin has entered a correction phase, even falling as low as $92,800 just three days after reaching this all-time high. As pointed out by crypto analyst Bob Loukas, this massive correction and consolidation in the past two weeks have prompted Bitcoin to move into a 60-day cycle. This change in cycle, although just by a few days, could have profound effects, and it remains to be seen how the market reacts. Was The Recent Decline Enough For A Reset? A move to a 60-day cycle suggests a subtle but meaningful change in Bitcoin’s market behavior. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is about to start a new cycle count that will play out in the next 60 days. Two possible scenarios could play out from here over those 60 days. Related Reading: Weekly Chart Shows That Dogecoin Price Is Primed To Cross $11 In 2025, Here’s How The first scenario is of a bullish momentum if the recent sharp correction may have already reset the cycle. In this case, we could see Bitcoin pushing up to new all-time highs in the next 60 days. The second scenario is less optimistic. It opens up the possibility of Bitcoin consolidating and trading within a narrow range for the next two months. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $96,146. If Bitcoin successfully transitions to a 60-day cycle and avoids another consolidation, it could pave the way for a recovery above the $100,000 level and bullish momentum throughout Q1 2025.

With the arrival of the new year, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a significant rebound, as the leading 100 cryptocurrencies, headed by Bitcoin (BTC), show increases and positive trends. In light of this revival, crypto expert Miles Deutscher has revealed his forecasts for 2025, providing perspectives on the upcoming paths of key cryptocurrencies and market tendencies. Bitcoin Price Potential To Hit $1 Million Deutscher begins by addressing the current state of the Bitcoin dominance chart, suggesting that it has likely peaked for this cycle. He anticipates that while BTC may experience periods of outperformance, it will ultimately stabilize around 61.5% dominance. In addition, Deutscher has made bold predictions regarding Bitcoin’s future price, asserting that it will reach $140,000 by the end of 2025. While he has seen more aggressive forecasts predicting prices over $200,000, he considers these estimates “overly ambitious” within the next 12 months. However, the expert expresses a long-term belief in Bitcoin’s potential to evolve into a $1 million asset, indicating his confidence in the cryptocurrency’s future growth. Related Reading: XRP Price Targets $13 After Completing Highest Candle Body Close In History – Details On the other hand, Deutscher highlights that the most significant developments in the altcoin market will not materialize until the second half of the year. The expert acknowledges the macroeconomic challenges currently facing the market, which he believes have slightly delayed the overall cycle. Interestingly, he notes the historical trend of altcoin seasonality, which typically favors the first half of the year, suggesting the possibility of two distinct upward runs in the crypto market. Cryptocurrency ETFs Set To Flourish In 2025 In 2025, Deutscher further expects artificial intelligence (AI) to remain a dominant narrative within crypto. He believes that the integration of AI will lead to a major transformation in decentralized finance (DeFi) and on-chain trading, particularly through the development of AI agents. He forecasts that several AI-driven projects will achieve market capitalizations exceeding $1 billion, signifying a shift towards more sophisticated financial instruments. Deutscher also emphasizes the importance of Real World Assets (RWA), predicting they will gain significant traction throughout the year. He notes that asset tokenization is still in its infancy, with influential figures like Donald Trump and Larry Fink likely to champion this sector, fostering growth and innovation. Predictions regarding DeFi utility coins are particularly noteworthy. Deutscher anticipates that major protocols, such as Chainlink (LINK), Aave (AAVE), Enjin (ENA), and Uniswap (UNI), will outperform their peers as the market recognizes the value of income-generating utility protocols. The expert argues that the market has yet to fully appreciate the potential impact of the Trump administration on DeFi, suggesting that a favorable regulatory environment will benefit these protocols significantly. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Confirms Breakout: Analyst Sets New Price Targets Another key prediction from Deutscher involves the potential approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) and XRP. The analyst believes that a new regulatory regime will facilitate a more accommodating environment for cryptocurrency ETFs in 2025. In a broader context, Deutscher foresees a strategic Bitcoin reserve being established in the United States, paving the way for other nations to follow suit. This shift towards sovereign and institutional adoption of Bitcoin is expected to gain momentum, further legitimizing the market’s leading cryptocurrency as a viable asset class. As of now, BTC is priced at $97,570, showing an increase of almost 4% over the past 24 hours. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

The Bitcoin price crash to $91,000 was unexpected, driven by diminishing market dominance and rising volatility. Despite this setback, an analyst predicts an even bleaker outlook for the leading cryptocurrency. The formation of a bearish flag pattern suggests further price declines could be on the horizon, with the analyst projecting a steeper price plunge towards $90,000. Bearish Flag Pattern Signal Bitcoin Price Crash Pejman Zwin, a TradingView crypto analyst, released a chart analysis predicting a significantly bearish outlook for the Bitcoin price. The analyst based this gloomy forecast on the appearance of a bearish flag pattern and other key technical indicators. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Guns For A Mid-High Timeframe Reversal Against Bitcoin In Bullish Q1 2025 According to Zwin, Bitcoin is moving within a bearish flag pattern, a technical formation that often signals a continuation of a prior downtrend. If this flag pattern holds, Bitcoin is likely preparing to break downward, which could lead to severe price declines. The analyst indicated that the 50-day Moving Average (MA), around the $95,974 mark, acted as a key resistance or support level for Bitcoin. However, the cryptocurrency recently broke below this MA — a development considered bearish, suggesting further downside. Zwin also disclosed that Bitcoin is moving within a heavy support zone between $95,000 and $90,870. Additionally, he highlighted that the pioneer cryptocurrency is breaking through key support lines, signaling a potential continuation of the downward trend. Looking at Bitcoin’s price action relative to the aforementioned technical indicators and chart patterns, Zwin anticipates a significant price crash toward $91,000. The analyst highlighted that a decline to $91,000 was the minimum expected, which would occur if Bitcoin breaks current support lines. He also disclosed that if the heavy support zone is breached, BTC could face further bearish pressure, potentially revisiting lower price levels around $90,540. Interestingly, Zwin’s bearish Bitcoin price prediction follows a recent price crash to $91,000 on Monday. During this sideways trading Bitcoin’s market sentiment has declined, with its bearish price action showing no signs of slowing down. Although Bitcoin’s price suffered a sharp fall, it has quickly recovered and is now trading at $93,893. Nevertheless, a price drop to Zwin’s projected $90,540 target would result in a Bitcoin crash of approximately 3.6% Alternative Bullish Scenario While he projected a bearish outlook for the Bitcoin price, Zwin provided an alternative bullish scenario that could trigger a rebound. According to the TradingView analyst, around $95,974 could be a ceiling for Bitcoin’s price. If BTC can break above the resistance lines, it could invalidate the bearish flag pattern, signaling a potential reversal to the upside.

Investors can expect increased volatility and Bitcoin price appreciation if this scenario plays out. Traders and investors have relied on this technical analysis for years, offering correct predictions, except in 2016. The chart didn’t flash the buy signal then, but the price went up after the Bitcoin halving event. Bitcoin’s Future Price Action Crypto analysts targeted the $100k mark for Bitcoin a few months ago. Now that this was already achieved in December, many analysts are setting their sights on new targets. Some analysts claim that Bitcoin’s short-term target is $150k, while others speculate that the asset could hit $1 million.

A leading cryptocurrency firm forecasted that Bitcoin price would surge next year, fueled by President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal for a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Legendary analyst Peter Brandt has provided a bearish outlook for the Bitcoin price. He predicted it could crash to as low as $78,000 and explained why he holds such a bearish sentiment. Peter Brandt Predicts Bitcoin Price Crash To $78,000 In an X post, Peter Brandt predicted that the Bitcoin price could crash to $78,000. This prediction came as he revealed a head and shoulders top pattern. The legendary analyst remarked that a complete formation of this pattern could cause a price breakdown to this target. Brandt added that this pattern might fail with a “thrust hire,” or it might morph into something else. Related Reading: XRP Price Prediction: Fibonacci And Elliott Wave Analysis Suggests $15 By May 2025 Peter Brandt stated that as it stands now, it is a head and shoulders top pattern for the Bitcoin price dealt with for what it is. The legendary analyst isn’t the only one who has raised this bearish pattern for Bitcoin. Crypto analyst Aksel Kibar also highlighted a potential head and shoulders pattern that formed on the BTC chart. The analyst indicated that this bearish pattern put the Bitcoin price at risk of dropping to $80,000. He also raised the possibility of this pullback pushing the flagship crypto to the broadening pattern that completed with a breakout above $73,600. However, the analyst suggested that this bearish pattern can still be invalidated as it still needs to breach below the neckline before this breakdown becomes a real possibility. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also recently provided a bearish setup for the Bitcoin price. He stated that a drop below $93,600 could send the flagship crypto to $80,000 or even $70,000. On the other hand, he remarked that BTC needs to break above $94,800 to confirm a price rebound. How It Could Play Out For BTC In an X post, crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto provided insights into how it could play out for the Bitcoin price. He stated that Bitcoin might experience a dump before heading to Q1 2025 before the final rally to a cycle top. He added that 2025 will be more volatile than most market participants expect. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Gets Caught In Long Cup And Handle Pattern That Could Send Price Crashing Below $0.2 The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Bitcoin price could rally to a cycle top of around $130,000.

Despite Bitcoin’s current tepid price action, the analyst is confident that the crypto will still rally much higher. He stated that everything points to the Bitcoin price being higher a few months from now. The crypto analyst added that it doesn’t matter whether BTC drops to $87,000 in the meantime or not, as it will still rally higher later on. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $93,600, down over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin stands at a critical crossroads, with its price hovering near the crucial $93,257 support level. This key price point has acted as a stronghold for the cryptocurrency during its recent ascent, but now, the market is facing mounting pressure. Bearish strength is starting to gain traction, raising concerns that the $93,257 level might soon give way to further declines. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is beginning to show signs of weakness, suggesting that momentum is shifting in favor of the bears. If Bitcoin fails to hold this support, it could trigger a wave of sell-offs, pushing the price toward lower support levels. However, if the bulls step in and defend this level, it might provide a foundation for a fresh rally and reinforce the strength of the ongoing uptrend. As Bitcoin tests this critical threshold, the next few days will be pivotal in determining its short-term trajectory. Will the bulls manage to regain control, or will the bears take charge and force a breakdown? This moment could set the tone for Bitcoin’s price action in the coming weeks, making it a crucial point to watch closely. RSI Signals Weakness: A Red Flag For Bitcoin? The Relative Strength Index is flashing a warning sign for Bitcoin as it shows signs of weakening strength. This technical indicator, which measures the strength and speed of price movements, has long been a reliable tool for predicting potential trend reversals. Currently, Bitcoin’s RSI is trending below 50%, indicating that the buying pressure is beginning to fade. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Retests Support Line After Crash Below $95,000, Here’s The Next Target A weakening RSI suggests that Bitcoin could be losing its upward momentum, even though the price may not reflect this shift immediately. As Bitcoin approaches the $93,257 key support level, this divergence may be a precursor to a possible breakdown. If Bitcoin’s RSI continues to decline, it might signal that the market is overextended and that further downside pressure might be on the horizon. A drop below this support mark could confirm this shift in momentum, leading to a deeper pullback. What Happens If $93,257 Breaks? Potential Impact On BTC’s Price If the critical $93,257 support level breaks, it could unleash significant downward movement, potentially driving the price toward the $85,211 support zone. A breach of this level would likely trigger a wave of selling activity, pushing Bitcoin down to the $73,919 support area, which could serve as the next key point of defense. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Enters Correction Phase On Its Path To Explode Above $110,000 However, If the bulls successfully defend the $93,257 support, Bitcoin might regain momentum and continue its upward trend, aiming for the $99,575 resistance. Furthermore, a strong break above this level could open the door to more gains, driving the price toward the next resistance at $104,268 and beyond.

Since making Bitcoin a legal tender in 2021, the El Salvador government, led by President Nayib Bukele, has pursued a consistent strategy of accumulating Bitcoin. This Bitcoin accumulation strategy, which has largely paid off, has continued up until now. According to recent data, El Salvador has now crossed the 6,000 BTC threshold. This makes El Salvador the sixth country behind the likes of the US, the UK, and Bhutan to hold 6,000 BTC or more. El Salvador’s Bitcoin Strategy Reaches New Milestone Unlike countries like the US and the UK, whose Bitcoin holdings are from seized assets from criminals, El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings have been through consistent purchases. Notably, El Salvador’s deliberate and consistent approach to building a Bitcoin reserve has been a cornerstone of President Bukele’s vision to establish the small Central American country as a leader in the crypto industry. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Ending 2024 On A High Note? Analysts Say This Level Is Key According to data from the official website of El Salvador’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker, the country added another BTC to its reserve in the past 24 hours. This BTC was acquired at $94,702 and essentially pushed the total holdings to 6,000.77 BTC. Interestingly, a detailed look at the data shows that El Salvador has purchased around 50 more BTC since the beginning of December. This growth has mostly been consistent with 1 BTC purchased each day, except for December 20 and December 22, which were highlighted by purchases of 11 BTC. At the time of writing, El Salvador’s Bitcoin stash is worth a little over $570 million. This value has grown massively in the past three months and could grow more in 2025. Particularly, El Salvador’s Bitcoin portfolio reached a peak value of $643 million on December 17 when the Bitcoin price peaked at $108,135. Image from bitcoin.gob.sv Outlook For El Salvador’s Bitcoin Stash Despite initial skepticism from international organizations and financial experts, this strategy appears to have yielded positive results over time, largely due to Bitcoin’s price surge this year. According to data from nayibtracker.com, El Salvador is currently sitting on $157 million in profit from its Bitcoin purchases, having bought its 6,000 BTC at an average price of $45,465. El Salvador’s first Bitcoin purchase was made in September 2021 and is currently showing no signs of stopping soon. However, the country did reach an agreement recently with the IMF to scale back its Bitcoin purchase trends in order to be able to secure funding. Although this agreement was made on December 18, El Salvador doubled down and bought 11 more BTC just days later.

Since President-elect Donald Trump raised the possibility of establishing a US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, many advocates have pushed for the creation of the crypto stockpile, saying that it would make the country as the leader in the global cryptocurrency landscape. However, not everyone in the crypto community is convinced of the feasibility of the crypto reserve. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju is pessimistic that the prospect of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve would get an approval from the incoming administration. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $350K? Kiyosaki Stands Firm Amid BlackRock ETF Drama BTC Reserve Doubtful Young Ju is not convinced that the proposed Bitcoin reserve would push through, saying it is unlikely that Trump would embrace the crypto strategy to protect US dollar dominance because the greenback remains a safe haven currency. Throughout history, whenever the United States perceived a threat to its dominance in the global economy, gold prices surged, and debates around the gold standard gained traction. In the late 1990s, Peter Schiff championed gold as the true form of money, much like today’s… — Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) December 28, 2024 The executive of CryptoQuant thinks that the policies of the new government would be much influenced by the apparent strength of the US economy and the predominance of the American currency in international trade. Young Ju said that if there is a perceived threat to the US economic hegemony, gold, Bitcoin or any other store-of-value assets would experience a surge in its price. US Economy Still Dominates Young Ju argued that there is no perceived threat to American dominance since many investors still have great confidence in the US economy or the US dollar. “I personally support the idea of #Bitcoin Standard. However, I question whether the US, while continuing to grow as other economies stagnate, would adopt Bitcoin as a strategic asset,” he said in a post. The crypto executive believes the debate on the Bitcoin reserve would only gain serious momentum if the country’s global economic dominance is “genuinely threatened,” adding, “At present, market sentiment suggests confidence in the US’ continued supremacy.” The US processed 37.8% of the world’s Bitcoin in 2022, making it the leader in crypto mining, according to government data. Crypto Stance Could Shift Young Ju said that it is possible that Trump’s stance on Bitcoin may take an unexpected turn depending on the broader political landscape. “If Trump succeeds in showcasing US economic resilience, reinforcing the dollar’s supremacy, and boosting his approval ratings, it’s unclear if he would maintain the strong pro-Bitcoin stance he demonstrated during his campaign,” he explained in a post. Related Reading: CME Gap Threatens Bitcoin With Potential Drop To $77,000 – Analyst The CryptoQuant CEO suggested that more likely, Trump would “step back from his Bitcoin advocacy,” pointing out that he might cite that there has been a change in priorities, “without alienating his voter base.” “At the BTC Conference, was his mention of Bitcoin as a strategic asset a genuine step toward preparing for a Bitcoin Standard, or merely a calculated move to secure votes?” he said. For the crypto executive, it is still unsure which of Trump’s “campaign rhetoric on Bitcoin” will be fulfilled. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
In an exciting development, Bitcoin may finally be undergoing a market rebound according to a recent prediction by crypto analyst Ali Martinez. However, the premier cryptocurrency finds itself in a critical price zone, which holds significant implications for both bullish and bearish market outcomes. Related Reading: Galaxy Research Reveals Bitcoin, Ether And Dogecoin Price Projections In 2025 Crypto Forecast Bitcoin Must Stay Above $93,400 To Retain Bullish Drive In an X video post on December 28, Martinez stated that Bitcoin may be preparing for a price recovery according to certain market indicators. Firstly, the analyst stated BTC was forming a bullish divergence against its relative strength index, This is a classic bullish signal that indicates weakening downward momentum and a potential price reversal is on the horizon. Furthermore, there are 14 million worth of potential liquidations at $95,300. Martinez believed that market makers would target this price zone which represents a significant concentration of leveraged trading positions. Market makers often attempt to eliminate these leveraged positions leading to an increased market liquidity and volatility, on which they can capitalize to make trades at favorable prices. Another market development that supports Bitcoin’s potential rebound is an increase in long traders on the Binance exchange from 53.12% to 64.04%. This indicates that more Binance traders, who Martinez claims have a solid track record, are predicting Bitcoin to soon experience a price rise. Since Martinez’s video post, Bitcoin has moved above $94,800, which the analyst described as a key resistance level to the projected rebound. Bitcoin is now expected to rise further to $95,600 with a potential to trade as high as $98,373 in the short term. However, the market expert cautions that Bitcoin is at a crucial juncture, with any drop below the key support level of $93,400 likely to spark a further decline to $84,000 or even $70,000. This would represent a potential 25% drop from its current price. Related Reading: Crypto Market Remains Greedy Despite Bitcoin Price Crash To $94,000, Is A Recovery Coming? BTC Price Overview At press time, Bitcoin trades at $95,173 following a price gain of 0.93% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, the asset’s trading volume is down by 53.76% and is now valued at $24.76 billion. The premier cryptocurrency has experienced a rather bearish end to 2024 but market optimism remains rather high. Analysts have continuously described 20-30% corrections as part of the bull market setting the stage for stronger price rallies. With 2025 fast approaching, a price surge above the $100,000 resistance remains key to inducing another uptrend with lofty projected targets as high as $350,000 in the new year.

Following the US elections in November, the crypto community has remained elated as pro-Bitcoin (BTC) and pro-crypto candidate Donald Trump emerged as the US President-elect.

With the Republican’s […]
The Bitcoin price looks set to enjoy a bullish reversal in January next year, having maintained a tepid price action to close out this year. This bullish outlook for the flagship crypto came as crypto analyst Tony Severino revealed a potential Doji formation, which suggested that BTC could enjoy this uptrend in the new year. Related Reading: Bitcoin ‘Head and Shoulders’ Setup Raises Fears Of $80,000 Price Drop – Details Doji Formation Could Lead To New Year Bitcoin Price Rally In an X post, Severino suggested that a Doji formation could lead to a Bitcoin price rally in the first two months of the new year. The analyst mentioned that he suspects BTC will end December with the Doji and then January shows a strong continuation for the flagship crypto. His accompanying chart showed that this strong continuation could extend into February. The crypto analyst explained that a Doji represents a pause in the market due to indecision from buyers and sellers. He added that the following candlestick shows market participants the decision the market has made through strong continuation or a reversal. In this case, Severino expects that the following candlestick will show a strong continuation for the Bitcoin price. Severino noted that a similar Doji at similar subwaves each resulted in two more months of upside before a local top was in for the Bitcoin price. Therefore, the crypto could enjoy two months of upside between January and February 2025 if history repeats itself. From a fundamental perspective, Donald Trump’s inauguration is one factor that could spark this strong continuation. The BTC price rallied above $100,000 after Trump’s victory in the November US presidential elections. As such, the flagship crypto could continue this rally as Trump becomes the first pro-crypto US president. Moreover, the US president-elect may create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve when he takes office, which would provide more bullish momentum for BTC. BTC Needs To Hold Above $92,730 In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez remarked that the Bitcoin price needs to avoid dipping below $92,730, as if that level breaks, it will be in free-fall territory. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that Bitcoin could drop to the $70,000 range if it breaks this $92,730 price level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Surge: Are Traders Preparing For A Major Market Shift? However, in another X post, Martinez suggested that such a Bitcoin price drop might not necessarily be bad. This came as he stated that a 20% to 30% price correction is the most bullish thing that could happen to Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Martinez stated that the invalidation levels for his bearish Bitcoin outlook are a sustained close above $97,300 and a daily close above $100,000. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $94,400, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Reuters, chart from TradingView
