Timothy Peterson, a prominent network economist, predicts Bitcoin will reach $1.5 million by 2035, citing network expansion as key to its value. Despite current mixed predictions and potential price corrections, he remains bullish on Bitcoin's long-term prospects, emphasizing its unique value proposition compared to traditional currencies.
Bitcoin has retreated over 5% from its recent high of $102,000, now trading around $96,500, following stronger-than-expected US job data and Federal Reserve projections. The labor market's strength dampens hopes for rate cuts, leading to significant liquidations in the crypto market, which saw major declines across assets like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana. Traders are closely monitoring the potential impact of President Trump’s pro-crypto stance amid ongoing regulatory uncertainties.
Bitcoin's price remained rangebound, closing last week at $98,198.52, while Ethereum showed bullish momentum, ending at $3,637.39. Solana and Ripple also experienced positive price action, with Solana trading at $218.28 and Ripple at $2.44, despite mixed ETF flows across the board.
Ethereum is witnessing a surge in institutional interest, highlighted by a significant increase in CME Futures open interest, which rose from $1.5B to over $4.5B post-November elections. The potential approval of an ETH ETF that distributes staking rewards could offer investors a combined yield of approximately 17%, attracting further institutional demand. Historically, ETH has performed strongly in the first half of the year, suggesting potential for explosive growth in the coming months.
A Trump-led Bitcoin rally is anticipated before his inauguration on January 20, but may lose momentum ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on January 29. Predictions suggest Bitcoin could range between $97,000 and $98,000 by the end of January, with potential short-term pullbacks before a rebound towards $125,000 by the end of Q1. Despite bearish outlooks, market sentiment remains strong, indicated by a return to the "Extreme Greed" zone in the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.
Bitcoin's price has rebounded to $97,785, with ETF inflows reaching a six-week high of $908 million on January 3, signaling renewed institutional interest. Despite this momentum, traders remain cautious, with some predicting potential price drops unless Bitcoin surpasses $99,000. The Coinbase Premium index has also shown signs of recovery, indicating stronger influence from U.S. buyers on Bitcoin's price trajectory.
Bitcoin (BTC) has dipped below $94,000, with traders eyeing potential support around $90,000. Following a spike to $99,500, the cryptocurrency has seen a 15% drawdown from recent highs, prompting speculation of further declines before a market rebound. Analysts suggest that levels around $85,000 may present a buying opportunity, while macroeconomic factors and liquidity concerns loom over future price movements.
Stocks opened mixed as investors evaluated the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook for 2025. The Dow Jones fell 0.5%, while the Nasdaq saw slight gains. Following a volatile week, the Fed indicated a slower pace of rate cuts, with inflation showing signs of cooling but still presenting challenges. Markets will have a brief pause with early closures ahead of the Christmas holiday.
