Updated: Dec 28 2025- Year-End Price Challenge: Bitcoin (BTC) is set to close the year below its opening price of approximately $93,374 unless it surges by 6.24% in the next three days, marking a potential first post-halving annual close in the red, indicating fragile market confidence.
- Historical High Retreat: After reaching an all-time high above $125,000 in October, Bitcoin's price has declined by about 30%, forming a local bottom around $80,000 in November, suggesting that the bull market may have ended and market sentiment has turned bearish.
- Market Analysis Divergence: Analysts are divided on whether Bitcoin will recover or continue to decline into 2026, focusing on macroeconomic factors and liquidity conditions that directly impact Bitcoin's price fluctuations.
- Interest Rate Policy Impact: The Federal Reserve implemented three 25 basis point rate cuts in 2025, but Chairman Powell's mixed signals at the December meeting led to only 18.8% of investors expecting a rate cut in January, increasing market uncertainty.
