Bitcoin (BTC) is highly likely to continue rising over the long term, but short-term movements remain volatile and unpredictable.
Reasons BTC Might Go Up
Institutional Adoption
Major companies, pension funds, and ETFs are holding BTC, increasing legitimacy and demand.
Scarcity After Halving
The April 2024 Bitcoin halving cut mining rewards in half, reducing new supply — historically, this leads to price increases 6–18 months later.
Macro Trends
With inflation and distrust in traditional banking in some regions, Bitcoin is viewed as a hedge and store of value — like digital gold.
Regulatory Clarity
Recent regulatory shifts (e.g., the SEC dropping lawsuits and clearer laws under the Trump administration) make it easier for institutions to invest.
