Bitcoin continues its bullish momentum for the seventh consecutive day, settling at $99,513 this Monday, while Ethereum consolidates its position above $3,600. This progress comes in a context of growing optimism among institutional investors and expectations related to American regulatory developments.
Bitcoin reconnects with its bullish trend after a year-end pullback
The crypto market has started 2025 on a positive note at Wall Street. The queen of cryptos appreciated by 1.1% this Monday morning, extending a series of seven consecutive sessions of increase. This progression follows a correction at the end of last year when Bitcoin had retraced from its historical record of $108,244 reached in December 2024.
HC Wainwright analysts maintain optimistic outlooks, with a projection of $225,000 by the end of 2025. This forecast is based on several factors, including historical price cycles and growing adoption by financial institutions.
The imminent arrival of Donald Trump to the presidency also crystallizes investors’ attention. His administration could significantly influence Bitcoin’s trajectory, with estimates ranging between $77,000 and $125,000 for the first quarter of 2025.
Ethereum shows signs of strength ahead of the $4,000 target
Ethereum displays particularly robust dynamics, currently trading at $3,681. On-chain data reveals a massive movement of 89,000 ETH (about $323 million) leaving exchanges, signaling a significant accumulation by institutional investors.
The Chaikin Money Flow technical indicator is also approaching the positive zone, suggesting an increase in inflows into the market. This metric, combined with significant outflows from exchanges, strengthens the thesis of a possible acceleration towards $4,000.
Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, identifies several positive catalysts, including the repayment of $16 billion to FTX creditors initiated on January 3, which is expected to significantly improve market liquidity.
Event impacts are also at the center of attention, particularly with FTX initiating its first user compensation cycle on January 3, releasing $16 billion. This substantial injection should greatly enhance market liquidity
