History may not repeat itself, but it echoes. With Christmas and New Year's 2025 approaching, several factors suggest Bitcoin will conclude its correction and resume its upward trajectory. These factors include the upcoming inauguration of Trump, the Bitcoin halving, and the festive season. Has the crypto market correction ended, given Christmas is near? The Federal Reserve's recent rate cut announcement reduced expectations for further cuts, triggering a global market downturn. Bitcoin plummeted from its all-time high of $108,000 to around $90,000 in mere days. Altcoins suffered significant losses, with some tokens erasing all gains made during the bull run. Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, attributed the crypto market's recent pullback to a "natural unwinding of leverage" and emphasized that "long-term drivers remain intact, and we're still in a strong bull market." This pullback led to large-scale liquidation and reduced market leverage. Meanwhile, Christmas is approaching, and the global market may experience a "Christmas rally." Historically, the US stock market tends to perform positively during the last five trading days of the year and the first two trading days of the New Year. As Bitcoin is closely tied to US stock and gold trends, a strong stock market performance may boost crypto market sentiment. Notably, Bitcoin has historically surged during and after the Christmas season, as seen in 2016 and 2020. This fuels expectations of a short-term Bitcoin spike.
