Updated: Dec 24 2025- Bitcoin Price Pressure: Bitcoin has seen a 1% decline over the past 24 hours, trading near $87,000, indicating a waning interest from investors amid macroeconomic caution, which could lead to poor performance by year-end 2025.
- Strong Gold Market: Gold has surged 65% to over $4,500, reflecting a shift in investor preference towards safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty, directly challenging Bitcoin's appeal.
- Key Support Level Analysis: Bitcoin must reclaim $91,300 to avoid a significant year-end drop, and a fall below $85,200 could lead to a slide towards $80,530, highlighting a lack of confidence in Bitcoin and reduced risk appetite.
- Changing Market Environment: High interest rates have increased borrowing costs, leading investors to favor stable assets, further weakening Bitcoin's market performance and revealing its vulnerability in the current economic landscape.
