Short-term forecasts (2025-2026)

In the near term, analysts expect BTC volatility to persist. The year 2024 was marked by the fourth halving, which historically sets the momentum for growth, and many forecasts for 2025 suggest a new bullish cycle. Investment bank JP Morgan indicates a target price of around $150,000 by 2025, linking the growth to increased institutional demand. A similar opinion is held by Standard Chartered bank, which anticipates reaching six-figure prices (over $100,000) by the end of 2024 amidst the conclusion of the 'crypto winter' and reduced selling pressure from miners. The overly optimistic forecast was made by famous investor Robert Kiyosaki, who suggested a price of $500,000 for BTC by 2025, citing a potential crisis of trust in fiat currencies and a shift of capital into crypto assets. At the same time, conservative models predict a more restrained scenario: for example, the resource LongForecast allows for a price correction down to ~$47,000 in 2025 before another wave of growth. As we can see, the range of estimates is extremely wide – from ~$50,000 to $150–$500,000.
