Analysts Post Thrilling Bitcoin Price Predictions for 2025: Wheres the Top?

The little orange cryptocurrency was one of several digital assets in this segment that walloped 2024 gains from investing in US stocks like those in the S&P 500 Index or Nasdaq Composite.

Others, like Ripples XRP tokens for international settlements between large institutions, performed even better than Bitcoin. XRP was up 247% by Christmas Day in December. It notched 271% for the entire year on Wednesday.

But heres how some leading crypto market analysts expect Bitcoins price to carry through some point over the 2025 calendar year.

For a basis of reference, Bitcoin traded at an average crypto exchange rate of $94,700 Wednesday evening US Eastern Time, according to data from CoinGecko.

Bitcoin Price Predictions: $80,000 $160,000

Peter Brandt: $78,000

Brandt made a prediction on Sunday, Dec. 29, targeting a big drop in Bitcoins price to the $78,000 level, based on a 45-day head and shoulders top pattern.

This is a head and shoulders top pattern. It might complete and take price to $78,000; it might fail with a thrust hire: or, it might morph into something else. But as it stands right now, it is a head and shoulders top and must be chartist dealt with for what it is. pic.twitter.com/b9AUUO7ddL

If hes right, BTC will have to take one step back before it advances toward the more bullish price targets for 2025. But Brandt also cautioned in the comment thread on his post, Charts do NOT predict anything. Charts merely suggest possibilities.

The famous stock chart technical analyst is bullish for XRP in 2025, but his outlook for Bitcoins price is bearish.

CoinShares: $80,000

European crypto hedge fund CoinShares head of research, James Butterfill, recently told CNBC that $150,000 BTC is possible in 2025. But he said a bearish correction to $80,000 is also on the cards.

Disappointment surrounding Trumps proposed crypto policies and doubts about their enactment could prompt a significant market correction, Butterfill warned.

Bullish 2025 BTC Targets: $160,000 $250,000

Standard Chartered: $200,000

British multinational bank Standard Chartereds research head Geoff Kendrick says his office is targeting $200,000 BTC in 2025. He added that the entry of the United States government into the Bitcoin race is likely to fuel that rally.

Even a small allocation of the USD 40tn in US retirement funds would significantly boost BTC prices, Kendrick noted.
We would turn even more bullish if BTC saw more rapid uptake by US retirement funds, global sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), or a potential US strategic reserve fund.

Nexo: $250,000

Swiss-based crypto fund manager Nexos chief product officer, Elitsa Taskova, told CNBC, We see Bitcoin more than doubling to $250,000 within a year.

She points to ongoing trends in adoption by institutional finance and social indicators for the bullish outlook in 2025.

These projections align with ongoing trends and social markers: increasing recognition of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, more Bitcoin and crypto-related exchange-traded products (ETPs), and stronger adoption, Taskova said.

Bottom Line for Investors

Like stocks, cryptocurrency assets are held at risk. But for more than a decade, Bitcoin has delivered world-class returns during bull markets. That means its possible for a small allocation to BTC can substantially speed individual investment portfolios toward reaching personal finance goals.

Nevertheless, investors should do their own research before allocating funds into any asset, no matter its returns over the past year or two.
