Bitcoin will break through $150,000 in the first half of the year, aiming for $200,000 by the end of the year.

In March, the global financial environment underwent a sudden change, with tightening regulatory expectations and weak economic data triggering a chain reaction. The price of Bitcoin fell 30% within 30 days, briefly dipping below $75,000; Ethereum dipped to $1,420, reaching an 18-month low. In the extreme market conditions on April 7, 460,000 investors got liquidated, with $1.4 billion in funds disappearing, and the fear index surged to an all-time high.

On April 23, Bitcoin continued to rise, briefly breaking through $94,000. Besides Bitcoin, other virtual currencies also surged, with Ethereum and Dogecoin up 13%, Trump Coin up nearly 11%, Cardano up over 10%, and Solana up nearly 7%. In this wave of market activity, the number of people liquidated in the cryptocurrency market exceeded 170,000, with liquidation amounts surpassing $630 million.

Analyst Jeff Kendrick from Standard Chartered Bank stated that Bitcoin will break through $150,000 in the first half of the year, aiming for $200,000 by the end of the year. Cardano founder Hoskinson further pointed out that the ecological integration of tech giants could lead to a historic breakthrough of $250,000.

The fluctuations in the crypto market in 2025 may be a necessary baptism for cryptocurrencies to mature into capital markets—by maintaining rationality amidst the ups and downs, and gaining insight into the essence amidst the chaos, one can seize the initiative in this financial revolution.
