Can BTC Rally to $150K by Mid-Year? #CriptoNews

Bitcoin (BTC) surged to a new all-time high (ATH) of $107,700 in the second week of December, sparking excitement for early 2025. The Fear and Greed Index reached 87, indicating strong investor interest. The global cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $3.72 trillion, a 1% increase, while trading volumes have jumped by 34% to $211 billion.

Bitcoin’s market capitalization surpassed $2.11 trillion, with a trading volume of $83 billion, maintaining a dominance of 56.46%.

Trump’s Bitcoin Vision

President Donald Trump’s plans to turn the U.S. into a Bitcoin powerhouse are generating excitement within the crypto community. If his proposal for a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve receives approval in January, BTC prices could soar to new highs.

This year’s rally has been driven by the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs, but attention is now shifting to what 2025 could bring. With potential changes in tax policies, regulations, and the creation of a Bitcoin reserve, the future looks promising for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Price Prediction for 2025

Mark Yusko, CEO of Morgan Creek Capital, shared his outlook on Bitcoin’s future in a recent podcast with Thinking Crypto Tony Edwards. He predicts that Bitcoin’s current fair value of $100,000 will trigger a parabolic surge, potentially pushing its price to $120,000–$150,000 by mid-2025. Yusko remains confident in Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, which he believes will peak in the first half of 2025.

However, some analysts warn of a “Double Bubble Altseason,” where a massive pump could lead to a sharp correction, similar to the 2017–2018 cycle. In January 2018, many altcoins surged 100x, only to see a 95% crash within a year.

Yusko supported his stance by referring to this year’s events. He noted that Spot ETF approvals in January pushed Bitcoin’s price to $74,000 in February, followed by minor corrections. Many took the opportunity to buy the dip, and with a distributive pattern, Bitcoin experienced lower highs and lows in the futures market as well.

Crypto analysts Tommy Mustache and Tim Peterson are also optimistic about Bitcoin’s short-term outlook. Mustache and Peterson predict that Bitcoin could reach a price range of $105,000 to $112,000 in early 2025, with Peterson relying on his Metcalfe Law model for this projection.

However, if all goes well in Q1, the all-time high could climb even higher, potentially hitting between $150,000 and $160,000 by mid-2025. Fibonacci and Elliott Wave analysis suggest that Bitcoin may have the potential for even higher peaks.

What to Expect Ahead

By April or May 2025, Bitcoin’s fair value is expected to stabilize near $100,000, driven by reduced leverage and increased investor activity. Analysts predict a parabolic surge to $150,000 before a correction occurs, which could see Bitcoin prices dip toward $75,000.

However, this correction is unlikely to be as severe as in previous cycles, where prices dropped as much as 50% below fair value. Instead, analysts are viewing it as a more calculated risk. Historical patterns suggest that new ATHs tend to bring short-term corrections, and the 2025 cycle is expected to follow a similar trend.

FAQs

As we look ahead, the coming months will likely determine if Bitcoin is ready to break barriers or face another cycle of volatility.
