Bitcoin’s recovery to $100,000 is likely to be met with strong resistance, but if the bulls prevail, the next stop is near $108,300.
Bitcoin (BTC) extended its recovery on Jan. 13, with the bulls challenging the crucial overhead resistance at $100,000. Risk assets received a boost following the latest Consumer Price Index report, which was lower than economists’ expectations.
ARK Invest said in “The Bitcoin Monthly” report that Bitcoin’s monthly volatility in December was relatively low compared to its yearly volatility, suggesting that Bitcoin has not reached the mania phase yet. That signals a further upside in 2025.
Another bullish projection was from CryptoQuant, which said in its latest weekly report that “favorable regulatory, monetary and cyclical conditions” could keep the capital flowing into Bitcoin, pushing its price to at least $145,000 in 2025.
Bitcoin’s bounce above $94,000 suggests that the bulls remain buyers on dips, increasing the possibility of a retest of $100,000.
Bitcoin (BTC) made a solid recovery on Jan. 10, and the bulls are trying to maintain the price above $94,000. This suggests that the bulls continue to view the dips near $90,000 as a buying opportunity. Blocktrends head of research Cauê Oliveira wrote in a Jan. 8 CryptoQuant post that large players were buying Bitcoin just below $95,000.
A Bitwise survey of 430 financial advisers conducted between Nov. 14 and Dec. 20 shows that 56% of the respondents are more likely to invest in cryptocurrencies in 2025 following Donald Trump’s United States presidential election victory. Additionally, among the advisers who are already investing, 99% plan to “either maintain or increase” their crypto exposure this year.

Bitcoin’s sell-off shows no signs of forming a bottom, which is destroying traders’ appetite for altcoins.
Bitcoin (BTC) has pulled back near $95,000, indicating that the bears are trying to strengthen their position. A minor advantage in favor of the bulls is that the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds witnessed inflows of $52.4 million on Jan. 7, even when Bitcoin fell more than 5%, per Farside Investors data. This suggests that investors are not dumping their positions as they expect the bull run to resume.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said in a blog post that the addition of up to $612 billion in new liquidity in the first quarter of 2025 could benefit Bitcoin. That could counterbalance any delays in implementing the “proposed pro-crypto and pro-business legislation” by President-elect Donald Trump’s team.

Sustained buying by institutional investors pushed Bitcoin above $100,000, opening the doors for a retest of the all-time high.
Bitcoin (BTC) has risen above $100,000 for the first time in 2025. Continued buying by the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder may have boosted sentiment. MicroStrategy revealed on Jan. 6 that it bought 1,070 Bitcoin on Dec. 30–31, 2024, for $101 million at an average price of $94,004. The latest purchase increased the firm’s holding to 447,470 Bitcoin.
Metalplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said in a post on X that the firm plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings from 1,762 to 10,000 in 2025.
Buying was also seen in cryptocurrency investment products in the first three days of the year. CoinShares report shows $585 million in inflows in 2025, extending the massive $44 billion inflows in 2024.
AI models have envisioned some eye-watering crypto prices for 2025.
With artificial intelligence emerging as a transformative force in finance, a number of investors have begun to recognize the potential of this technology in shaping their portfolios.
In fact, a recent survey revealed that 54% of all investment managers have already implemented AI within their investment research, while another 37% intend to adopt it soon.
So, what exactly is AI saying about crypto in 2025? There are a number of popular AI models — namely ChatGPT, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot — that have made some surprising predictions for crypto this year.
Here are just a few:
Bitcoin price looks on track to reclaim the $100,000 level. Are altcoins set to follow?
Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are maintaining the pressure and are likely to test the stiff overhead resistance at $100,000 soon. Although the recovery has been strong, the relief rally on Jan. 2 was greeted by profit booking by the United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund investors. The ETFs witnessed $242.3 million in outflows, per Farside Investors data.
Bitcoin’s hesitation to cross above $100,000 has not altered its long-term view. Steno Research said in a research note that 2025 is likely to be the best year for cryptocurrency markets ever. They expect Bitcoin to hit more than $150,000 and Ether (ETH) to cross $8,000.

Amid a year of high points, challenges remain. How will AI developers deal with a looming data shortage, for instance?
Artificial intelligence enjoyed a banner year in 2024. The frontier technology captured awards, corralled investors, charmed Wall Street and showed that it could reason mathematically — even explaining differential equations.
It also drew the attention of global regulators, concerned about privacy and safety risks. Others worried that AI might soon evolve into artificial general intelligence (AGI) and then artificial superintelligence — surpassing human cognitive abilities. Catastrophic scenarios were posited and discussed: bioterrorism, autonomous weapons systems and even “extinction-level” events.
Here are 10 of 2024’s AI highlights.
