Fundstrat Managing Partner Tom Lee has forecasted Bitcoin reaching $250,000 by year-end 2025, with a long-term projection of $1 million per coin. This optimistic outlook contrasts with more conservative predictions from industry peers.
Other analysts present tempered expectations, with Bernstein targeting $200,000 and 10x Research anticipating $160,000 for Bitcoin by year-end. The divergence reflects ongoing market uncertainty following Bitcoin’s recent volatility.
The cryptocurrency surged to a record peak of $123,100 before retreating approximately 8% to current levels near $113,000. This pullback coincides with shifting market sentiment, evidenced by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropping from ‘Greed’ territory (60) to ‘Neutral’ (54).
Mixed analyst outlooks and price fluctuations underscore unease about Bitcoin’s near-term trajectory, despite widespread recognition of its long-term growth potential.
