#Bitcoine slides below $100,000, Federal Reserve's Powell rejects bitcoin reserve. On Friday, the price of bitcoin plunged to almost $92,000 before rebounding to more than $97,000, despite reaching a new all-time price high of more than $108,000 on Tuesday.
Part of the sell-off was catalyzed by Wednesday’s news that the Federal Reserve would not hold bitcoin in its reserve, prompting the world’s largest cryptocurrency to dip by 7%. We’re not allowed to own bitcoin,” Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said. “The Federal Reserve Act says what we can own, and we’re not looking for a law change. That’s the kind of thing for Congress to consider, but we are not looking for a law change at the Fed."
Overall, the global crypto market cap dipped by 1.2%, reaching $3.52 trillion, according to CoinGecko.
Ethereum, the world’s second-largest digital asset, also dropped by 10%, though it recovered Friday morning by reaching a price near $3,467. Meanwhile, Solana, the world’s sixth-most valuable cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $92 billion, is currently trading at $192 at the time of writing, after dropping 10%.
On Thursday, bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which debuted this January, saw their first outflows in weeks, with $BTC $ETH seeing $650 million in outflows. Meanwhile, #Ethereum ETFs saw outflows exceeding $60 million.
With the upcoming holiday season on the horizon, some market analysts underlined that "mixed behavior" over Christmas and New Year was to be expected: "The first rule of bitcoin is that it is always volatile in the same way water is always wet," said James Toledano, Chief Operating Officer at Unity Wallet. "It’s behavior is always mixed and there is zero discernible pattern at the end of the year going into the next. Sometimes the price rises in the new year and at other times it falls. So, historically, we can say that bitcoin exhibits typically mixed behavior over Christmas and New Year."

Apparently triggering the move was Musk posting a screenshot of podcaster Joe Rogan's X profile. The post included a dollar icon that's different from the app's tipping service, one user noted in an X post, speculating that it might be for sending money as part of X Payments.
Predicting $BTC price in 2025 is highly uncertain as it depends on numerous factors, including market dynamics, global economic conditions, regulatory developments, and adoption rates. Here are key points to consider:
Factors That Could Increase Bitcoin Price:
1. Increased Adoption: Broader acceptance of Bitcoin as a digital asset by institutions and governments.
2. Halving Effect. Bitcoin next halving is expected in 2024, reducing mining rewards and potentially driving scarcity in 2025.
3. Inflation Hedge: If traditional fiat currencies lose value due to inflation, Bitcoin could attract more investors.
4. Technological Advancements: Improvements in $BTC scalability and ecosystem could boost its appeal.
Factors That Could Decrease Bitcoin's Price:
1. Regulatory Crackdowns: Negative regulations or outright bans in major economies.
2. Global Economic Instability: A major financial crisis could reduce speculative investments like $BTC .
3. Competition from Altcoins: Growing adoption of other cryptocurrencies could divert interest from $BTC .
4. Market Sentiment: Prolonged bearish trends or loss of confidence in crypto markets.
Conclusion: While many analysts predict growth due to historical patterns and the halving cycle, the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and unpredictable. It's essential to conduct thorough research, diversify your investments, and only invest what you can afford to lose.
