$BTC

Bitcoin has seen a 5.5% decline recently, driven by multiple factors, including Chinese company DeepSeek’s announcement of an open-source AI model that rivals ChatGPT, which has raised concerns in the tech sector. 

Looking ahead, some analysts are predicting that Bitcoin could hit $150,000 in the first half of 2025, with a potential of $185,000 by the end of the year, supported by increased adoption by institutions, businesses, and countries. 

It is worth noting that these forecasts are dependent on multiple factors, including government policies, technological developments, and the general acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

Please note that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and these forecasts are not guarantees of future performance
