Prepared to understand why Bitcoin's value might plummet under $117,000 imminently.
The crypto market outlook for Bitcoin remains largely bullish, despite recent corrections and short-term bearish signals. As of 8th December 2025, Bitcoin experienced a correction, dropping 2.6% from $122,200 to around $119,000. However, this dip seems to be a temporary setback in the broader context of sustained growth.
Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, described Bitcoin's recent daily candle as "quite ugly." Despite this, he notes that Bitcoin is expected to sustain a bullish momentum through August 2025, with analysts pointing to a bullish structure forming despite short-term volatility.
Leading analysts and institutional forecasts project Bitcoin to continue an upward trajectory. Forecasters like Standard Chartered, Citigroup, and Ark Invest have set ambitious targets, ranging from $145,000 to $200,000+ for Bitcoin by the end of 2025. Some models, including PlanB’s Stock-to-Flow model, maintain more aggressive long-term forecasts up to $500,000 within the year, driven by supply scarcity and institutional interest.
Bitcoin’s rise to surpassing Google’s market cap and inflows via Bitcoin ETFs signify a fundamental shift where institutions increasingly view Bitcoin as a treasury asset and inflation hedge rather than speculative. This institutional catalyst is a significant factor in the bullish outlook for Bitcoin.
However, technical analyses suggest possible resistance testing and potential short-term pullbacks near resistance levels around $114,000–$116,000. A breakout above resistance would invalidate bearish scenarios and support further growth toward targets above $130,000.
Meanwhile, another 1.75% drop in Bitcoin's price could put $1.63 billion worth of long Bitcoin positions at risk. Samson Mow of Jan3 believes a rotation of funds from Ethereum to Bitcoin could support a Bitcoin short-term rally.
Investor attention is also turning to early-stage altcoins like MAGACOIN FINANCE, which exhibit high growth potential, indicating a diversification and speculative appetite within the broader crypto market.
In summary, while some bearish signals and market corrections remain possible in the near term, the consensus among leading analysts and institutional forecasts is that Bitcoin is positioned for sustained growth, driven by macroeconomic factors, institutional adoption, and technical bullish trends through late 2025 and beyond.
