A new price prediction for Bitcoin (BTC) suggests 140k – 200k dollars by mid-2025. This is stated in the latest Alpha Market Report by Bitfinex 2024, which also forecasts a first quarter full of volatility for the leader of the crypto.
Bitcoin (BTC): the Bitfinex forecast sees the price between 140K and 200K by mid-2025
According to the latest Alpha Market Report by Bitfinex for 2024, the price forecasts for Bitcoin (BTC) for the coming year remain super optimistic.
In fact, the forecast describes that the minimum price of BTC will be in the range of 140k-200k dollars by mid-2025.
The analysts have described this 2024 as an exceptional year for Bitcoin, full of historical milestones. First and foremost, the launch of the first Bitcoin spot ETF in the USA in January, followed by surpassing the six-figure threshold, with BTC above $100,000.
Not only that, this year almost coming to an end has positioned Bitcoin as the seventh asset by market capitalization, with its over 2,000 billion dollars.
In fact, at the time of writing, the market cap of BTC is 2.127 trillion dollars, surpassing that of Saudi Aramco and Meta Platform by 1.832 and 1.575 trillion dollars, respectively. In the ranking of today, therefore, BTC would be exactly in sixth place, below Alphabet (Google) and Amazon.
These sensational victories of bitcoin are, according to the analysts of Bitfinex, destined to continue even in 2025.
Specifically, the report suggests that we are halfway through the cycle after the halving of April 2024, with the market likely reaching the peak around the third quarter of 2025, about 450 days after the halving.
Bitcoin (BTC) at 200k by mid-2025? Likely volatility ahead
Another characteristic of the Bitcoin (BTC) price prediction for 2025 by Bitfinex analysts, is the volatility.
In fact, in addition to forecasting a price range that will be reached by BTC by the middle of next year, the report suggests that there will be volatility in the first quarter of 2025.
Here is how the text quotes:
“Looking ahead, we believe that the current run to over $100,000 has captured a significant portion of Bitcoin’s price appreciation for this cycle. Our minimum price target for Bitcoin remains at $140,000 – $200,000 by mid-2025. Although volatility is expected in the first quarter of 2025, the broader trend indicates further price appreciation, supported by ETFs, institutional adoption, and the growing importance of Bitcoin as a global asset. Investors should nonetheless remain vigilant for any signs of overbought conditions as Bitcoin approaches the top of its cycle.”
Recently, the VP Product and GM of Consumer at Kraken, Mark Greenberg, also wanted to describe the crypto scenario for 2025.
Contrary to what was just said by the analysts at Bitfinex, however, Greenberg believes that by 2025, cryptos will be less volatile. This statement is based on the fact that mainstream adoption will lead to greater liquidity, making the market less susceptible to violent price swings.
Not only that, according to Greenberg, the decreasing volatility of 2025 will make crypto more appealing even for that group of investors who are less inclined to market risk.
