Odaily Planet Daily reports that a survey conducted by management consulting firm Gallup shows that two-thirds of surveyed Americans expect the stock market to rise in 2025, but about the same proportion of respondents expect this increase to be accompanied by heightened domestic political conflict and international discord in the United States. Specifically, 66% of respondents expect the stock market to rise in 2025, which is 30 percentage points higher than the predictions made in December 2022 during a period of high inflation and low economic confidence for 2023. The survey also reveals that only 23% of surveyed Americans expect 'positive' political cooperation domestically under the Trump administration, while only 32% predict a more peaceful international situation in 2025. However, these figures represent an improvement compared to the voting results for political cooperation and international peace in 2023 (9% and 14%, respectively). Analysis indicates that this sentiment may have an impact on the cryptocurrency market. History shows that sustained increases in the stock market can sometimes coincide with rises in Bitcoin, as investors demonstrate a willingness to take on more risk. Data from Bitcoin analysis platform Newhedge shows an unstable correlation between Bitcoin and the S&P 500 index, although some industry executives point out that Bitcoin's price movements are more closely linked to tech stocks.
