Despite Bitcoin continuing to trade to the downside at press time, the market has remained hopeful with an overall bullish outlook, expecting further volatility in prices, especially a price around or above the $100,000 mark.
Update on Recent Market Trends From The Trumponomics Team
Bitcoin’s price has been oscillating between the low-to-mid $90,000s and $110,000 as of this week. According to Jeff LaBerge, Bitdeer Head of Capital Markets and Strategic Initiatives, on this movement,
“Currently, we’re right below $100,000 per Bitcoin. I think ‘crash’ is a little over the top. Even with a correction of 10 to 12%, Bitcoin still has quite another range than months before.”
he pointed out.
LaBerge, too, pointed to Bitcoin’s sensitivity to macro developments, saying it sometimes functions as a “risk proxy for the entire market” and tends to react quickly to macro changes.
“It’s traded 24/7, so it can at times be viewed as a flight to quality but really is often seen as a risk-on or risk-off asset as well,”
he added.
Waiting for the Fundamentals to Emerge
Right now, the crypto market is holding its breath as Bitcoin’s price action indicates that investors are waiting for a major catalyst to make their next big move.
“I think there was a repricing of sorts of Bitcoin earlier this year,”
LaBerge explained.
”We bounced from that 60–70K range and kind of climbed up to 90–110K in a month or so.”
Other market analysts share this view, believing that Bitcoin is currently in a period of consolidation due to its current price range. They point to that as indicating that market participants are awaiting some sort of larger occurrence or advancement with the potential to propel the next notable price movement.
The Previously Mentioned Institutional Interest
Increased institutional demand and regulatory efforts will determine the future price of Bitcoin. Now that Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have finally gotten the approval they deserve, a large amount of institutional investment has been pouring into Bitcoin, and this could very well be the firestarter keeping Bitcoin on the move for its next leg up.
But regulatory developments still loom as potential threats. Regardless of these uncertainties, many experts still have a strong bullish outlook on Bitcoin long term, highlighting increases in adoption and growing interest from institutions.
Wall Street Has Room for Growth
While there has been turbulence recently, many analysts view Bitcoin as having tremendous further growth potential. For example, some projections have Bitcoin priced up to $180,000-$200,000 at the end of 2025, driven by growing institutional, corporate, and nation-state adoption.
But they are not without a caveat. Even during bull markets, analysts caution that Bitcoin can drop sharply in the short term. They warn investors to expect volatility and suggest taking a long-term view in their decisions around Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Holds Below $100K While Investors Watch for the Next Game-Changer
Bitcoin’s price has now been under the $100,000 mark for a few months, and the market has waited patiently for something that could act as a new catalyst. Recent volatility has spooked investors, but many analysts believe that Bitcoin is well-positioned for the long haul, noting a growing interest among institutional investors and the potential for regulatory developments as highlights.
