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.

AI took giant strides in 2024, as AGI comes into view

December 31, 2024 Coin Telegraph

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.

Bitcoin needs to find support in the $90,000 to $85,000 range in order for altcoins to recover and find new buyers.

Bitcoin (BTC) has started the last week of the year on a soft note, indicating that the bulls are not hurrying to buy the dip. Analysts are divided about Bitcoin’s short-term price action. Some expect a strong rally leading into United States President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, while others anticipate the volatility to increase. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes voiced a contrarian view in his blog post on Dec. 17, where he said the markets are likely to witness a “harrowing dump” around Trump’s inauguration day.

While short-term traders may be waiting for the uncertainty to clear before buying, MicroStrategy has continued its Bitcoin buying spree for the eighth successive week. The business intelligence firm announced the purchase of 2,138 Bitcoin between Dec. 23 and Dec. 29 at an average price of roughly $97,837.

Bitcoin’s recovery shows solid buying at lower levels, increasing the possibility of a break above $100,000 in the short term.

Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are trying to start a Santa Claus rally by pushing the price back above the psychological level of $100,000, but higher levels may attract sellers. Bitcoin has gained nearly 2% in December, but it will have to do more work to catch up with the previous year’s 12.18% rise in December, per CoinGlass data.

CryptoQuant contributor Joo Hyun Ryu said in a Quicktake blog post that Bitcoin demand has increased from speculative short-term holders (STH) and Korean investors. The share of STH increased by 3% within a week, and the “Kimchi Premium,” the aggregate difference in price between South Korean exchanges and others, reached a local high of 5.12.

Bitcoin’s pullback after hitting a new all-time high above $108,000 has started a correction in select altcoins, signaling profit booking by the bulls.

Bitcoin (BTC) has pulled back after making a new all-time high above $108,000 on Dec. 17, indicating that the bears have not given up and are selling on rallies. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes wrote in his “Trump Truth” blog post that the crypto markets are likely to dump following United States President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025. Hayes said that selling will occur after market participants realize that any crypto policy changes will take about a year to enact.

In contrast, Bitfinex analysts expect the dips in Bitcoin’s uptrend to be short-lived in 2025 due to institutional demand. They estimate Bitcoin to reach $145,000 by mid-2025 and potentially stretch to “$200,000 under favorable conditions.”

Sustained demand from buyers has pushed Bitcoin to a new all-time high, opening the doors for a rally toward $113,000.

Bitcoin (BTC) continued its northward journey on Dec. 16, signaling continued demand from the bulls. Material Indicators co-founder Keith Alan said in a post on X that historically, Bitcoin makes “MACRO moves” at or around Dec. 17. He expects a rate cut by the Federal Reserve to boost Bitcoin’s prices higher but added that he will wait on the sidelines until more clarity emerges.

ZK Square chief investment officer CK Zheng told Cointelegraph that Bitcoin may have entered “Santa Claus mode,” with investors looking to allocate capital, fearing missing out on the rally. He expects Bitcoin to reach $125,000 in early 2025 but anticipates a 30% correction afterward.

Bitcoin’s rally above $100,000 has improved sentiment, triggering a strong recovery in several altcoins.

Bitcoin (BTC) found support near $94,000 on Dec. 10, and the bulls made a solid recovery on Dec. 11. The price soared back above the psychologically crucial level of $100,000 after November’s inflation report met economists’ projections. According to the FedWatch Tool, the probability of a 25-basis point rate cut in the next meeting has risen to more than 96%. That could prove to be bullish for risky assets.

Bitwise investment chief Matt Hougan and research head Ryan Rasmussen said in a report that Bitcoin could cross $200,000 by the end of 2025. Along with Bitcoin, the duo is also bullish on Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL), expecting them to rise to $7,000 and $750, respectively.

Bitcoin’s failure to hold $100,000 could attract profit booking from traders. Which altcoins will follow BTC's downtrend?

Bitcoin (BTC) has pulled back near $98,000, indicating that the bears continue to fiercely defend the $100,000 level. CryptoQuant contributor Maartuun said in a post on X that long-term holders offloaded 827,783 Bitcoin since Nov. 8. He also highlighted several other signals in the thread, which suggest that Bitcoin may be close to a top.

However, there is no stopping MicroStrategy, one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, which continues to build its stockpile. The firm said it bought 21,550 Bitcoin between Dec. 2–8 at an average price of $98,783. MicroStrategy co-founder and former CEO Michael Saylor told Yahoo Finance that he would be “buying the top forever.”
