en|en|#BTC94KShowdownSince its peak in November, Bitcoin's trading volume has drastically decreased with current volume levels falling by about 97%. Bitcoin has seen a slight increase in price, moving closer to the $96,000 mark in spite of this steep drop. This paradox draws attention to the special dynamics at work in the contemporary market.
Reduced liquidity is usually indicated by low trading volume, which implies a lack of participation from institutional and retail investors. Although there may occasionally be erratic price swings as a result, the calm market activity has made it easier for Bitcoin's price to rise. Therefore, the modest upward trend we have seen may be due to more favorable trading conditions where the market is not burdened by as many sell orders.

Bitcoin to $1 million in 2025
Prominent Bitcoin supporter Samson Mow made 10 important predictions for the year 2025, starting with the one that says that the world’s leading cryptocurrency is to finally skyrocket to $1 million this year.
Another important one was that “3 more nation-states implement a Bitcoin strategy” and one of those will be in Asia, following the example of El Salvador. Mow did not name any particular countries, though. He expects them to adopt BTC strategies using the services of his JAN3 company, which helps with that. In this regard, one of the predictions stated that JAN3 would engage 10 more new countries in adopting Bitcoin.
It was not only about the Bitcoin price surge that Mow spoke about in his tweet. He also shared a prediction that in 2025, MicroStrategy stock would surge to $2,000 per share, adding that Tether’s popular USDT stablecoin would flip Ethereum in terms of market capitalization and that Europe would reverse its cryptocurrency regulation course completely.

Investing.com-- Bitcoin steadied on Thursday after falling sharply in the last week of 2024 as traders fretted over the regulatory outlook for crypto under incoming President Donald Trump.
Broader risk appetite was also stymied by losses on Wall Street, as the prospect of slower rate cuts in 2025 sparked some profit-taking towards the end of the year.
Bitcoin was also subject to profit-taking after rallying over 100% in 2024, with a bulk of its gains coming after Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency rose 1.8% to $95,469.5 by 00:12 ET (05:12 GMT), after falling as low as $92,000 in the past week.
Bitcoin slides below $100k in year-end rout
Bitcoin slid below the coveted $100,000 level over the past week as traders locked in some profits at the end of the year.
The crypto had surged to a record high of over $108,000 earlier in December, as it benefited from speculation over friendlier regulations under Trump.
But it failed to hold this level amid sustained profit-taking, while traders also questioned just what Trump’s policies will entail for crypto.
Trump pledged to enact friendlier regulations for the crypto industry, and nominated a slew of crypto-friendly candidates for key regulatory positions, especially the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
But doubts emerged over his other promises, particularly his vow to establish a Strategic Bitcoin reserve.
Doubts over Trump’s policies are expected to persist as he takes office later in January.

#BtcNewHolder question will Bitcoin rally again this year Bitcoin racked up a 120% gain in 2024, outperforming gold and global equities. “While optimism surrounds crypto-friendly regulations post-Trump inauguration, we think the key catalyst may come in January as institutions readjust asset allocations,” QCP Capital said in a note to clients. “With Bitcoin now broadly adopted by a broad spectrum of institutions — adding university endowment funds to the list this year — allocations are likely to increase, strengthening Bitcoin dominance, stabilizing spot movements, and shifting volatility dynamics closer to equities.” Bitcoin slipped 0.20%, trading at $93,518 as of 2:55 p.m. on Wednesday in Singapore. Smaller coins like Ether and Dogecoin also struggled to gain ground.
en|en|#BTC94KShowdownBitcoin fell 3.2% in first monthly drop since August It gave 120% gains last year, investors optimistic for 2025 Bitcoin’s record-breaking run faltered toward the end of 2024, leading to its first monthly drop since August. The digital asset fell 3.2% last month as US investors cashed profits after a rally triggered by President-elect Donald Trump’s victory pushed Bitcoin to an all-time high of $108,315 mid-December. Feverish speculation in the crypto market has cooled as expectations for interest-rate cuts from the Federal Reserve waned, eroding appetite for riskier assets. The group of a dozen Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US saw a net outflow of about $1.8 billion since Dec. 19, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for Bitcoin futures hosted by Chicago-based CME Group Inc., seen as a measure for US institutional interest, also fell nearly 20% from its December peak.

At the 50 EMA, a level essential to sustaining bullish momentum, Bitcoin has lost its main support. This break signals a substantial change in market sentiment and raises the prospect of additional declines as 2025 gets underway.bearish signal, the 50 EMA's loss could lead to more selling pressure, particularly if traders expect the downtrend to continue. The 200 EMA, which is around $76,160, and the psychological level, which is at $85,457, are the next important support levels. Even more severe drops may occur in the first quarter of 2025 if Bitcoin is unable to stabilize at these levels. Recent trading session volume profiles point to waning market activity, which makes Bitcoin even more vulnerable. A recovery to retest the 50 EMA appears unlikely in the near future in the absence of strong buying pressure. Nonetheless, it might indicate a brief recovery and reestablish some market confidence if bulls are able to push Bitcoin back above the 50 EMA in the upcoming days. Bearish momentum may not yet be exhausted, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is trending lower while remaining in the neutral zone. Given the current lack of robust institutional or retail demand, the outlook is still cautious. The climate for Bitcoin is going to be difficult in 2025. A strong catalyst is required by the market to prevent further losses, which could include technical recovery above critical levels such as $96,472, macroeconomic changes or renewed institutional interest.

Since his election win, Trump has also helped give the wider crypto market a boost. Investors have become increasingly optimistic that Trump’s return to the White House in January will bring legitimacy to the digital asset. On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to set up a national Bitcoin reserve and accepted donations in a range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, and Solana. In September, Trump launched a new cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, in partnership with longtime business associates. The venture is seen as a strategic step to capitalize on his growing influence in the digital asset industry. And Trump’s involvement with the crypto industry could continue to deepen. The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, reported Tuesday that Trump Media — the company behind Trump’s social media platform Truth Social — is nearing a deal to acquire cryptocurrency trading platform Bakkt (ICE).
en|en|#BTC94KShowdown through $94,000 for the first time and it's getting less volatility Bitcoin passed $94,000 for the first time following reports that President-elect Donald Trump’s media company could be close to buying a cryptocurrency trading platform. Additionally, earlier this week, several Bitcoin ETFs began trading on the Nasdaq, offering investors a new way to gain exposure to Bitcoin without directly owning the cryptocurrency. On Wednesday afternoon, the leading cryptocurrency reached an all-time high of $94,891, bringing its market capitalization to a record $1.87 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap. The recent rally, which has seen Bitcoin add 37% to its value in just one month, could be longer lived as the cryptocurrency becomes less volatile. That’s in large part because of the rise of institutional traders getting in on Bitcoin in recent years, Bobby Zagotta, chief executive of Bitstamp U.S., told MarketWatch.
