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.”
