$BTC In the near future, analysts expect high volatility for BTC to persist. The year 2024 is marked by the fourth halving, and many Bitcoin forecasts for 2025 suggest a new bullish growth cycle. Investment bank JP Morgan continues to point to a long-term potential of around $150,000 – such a price would equate Bitcoin's market capitalization with the volume of gold in private investments. In April 2025, Standard Chartered significantly boosted optimism: according to the head of SC's digital assets department, Jeffrey Kendrick, Bitcoin is confidently moving towards new records and could reach ~$120,000 in the second quarter of 2025, and by the end of the year – ~$200,000.
