Suggestions hint at prospective Bitcoin price surge persisting - Further developments anticipated
According to Bitfinex's most recent report, the ongoing bull run for Bitcoin (BTC) might not have reached its peak yet, hinting at a potential extended market rally. However, this optimistic outlook hinges on the stabilization of broader macroeconomic conditions.
In April 2025, Bitcoin's performance surpassed its historical average, with BTC posting a monthly gain of 14.08%. This outperformed both the median return of 7.3% and the typical 13% return, making the year stand out. Despite a rocky start due to President Trump's tariff announcements causing a sharp price drop, Bitcoin managed to recover swiftly. By the second half of the month, the price soared again, rallying 32% from its low point to reach local highs of $97,900.
Miners, too, have shown signs of confidence in the market. The reserves have increased slightly from 1,808,315 BTC in December 2024 to 1,808,674 BTC on May 5. Miners typically sell to cover operational costs, but their holding strategy now suggests they expect future price appreciation. The Puell Multiple, an indicator measuring miner revenue relative to historical averages, remains below 2, implying that miners do not believe the current price represents a market peak.
The $95,000 level is a vital technical pivot point, acting as both the lower boundary of a three-month range that defined market structure from November 2024 to February 2025 and a potential support level. If Bitcoin can hold this critical level, it could signal a shift towards a bullish trend and potentially set the stage for a test of its all-time high prices. However, failure to maintain it could lead to short-term declines. In such a scenario, the next few days will likely determine whether the recent market strength evolves into a sustained breakout or resolves into a retest of lower support zones.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently trading at $94,236, down 0.1% over the past day. With the price still 13.4% below its record high, it remains to be seen whether it will fill the aforementioned gap.
That said, the anticipated long-term outlook for Bitcoin is bullish, with various experts projecting it could reach anywhere from $120,000 to $200,000 by the end of 2025. Charles Hoskinson even forecasts a potential price of $250,000 by late 2025 or early 2026 due to Big Tech adoption and regulatory clarity. Looking further ahead, ARK Investment projects longer-term targets for 2030, ranging from $300,000 in a bear case to $1.5 million in a bull case.
While there is a consensus towards a potentially bullish outlook for Bitcoin in the near to long term, analysts caution that significant volatility is expected due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
