Thoughts for rest of 2025?

[philipma1957]

We are just a few weeks from the half way point of this year and what an awful year it has been so far.

Many say Bitcoin is doing well, and it is to some degree but the price is currently less than it was 5 months ago , so it’s maintained its level, nothing special.

Alts on the other hand , which I am mainly in unfortunately, have been wrecked with some down around 75% from their highs during the pump we saw end of last year.  Thanks to a few winners I picked up last year my portfolio is still in the green though.

Just as when I thought things might start being ok for June with the good news on the CPI data the other day, I now wake up to all this FUD with Israel and Iran war going on and the markets are tanking yet again, some of my altcoins down 15/20% from where they were just 48 hours ago.

War is awful, and the tariffs have put everything on a back foot this year but I can’t help but think it’s just an excuse for all this market manipulation to keep prices low.

I had hoped we might see a decent June before the typical boring summer but not even sure if we will get that now, may just have to wait till Q4 once the summer is done which is usually a good time for crypto.

I am just holding for now, not buying or selling , if we fall another 10% then I will buy more. What is everyone else doing and what do we think is left in store for rest of 2025?

Many are saying the top is in for Bitcoin but that can’t be it surely? I’ve seen predictions ranging from $160-200k this year, are we still thinking that? Or is 2025 really the start of a long bear market ..

alts or at least 99% of the 10000 there are , are bad value items.

I think btc should still do a lot better than the 112k ATH

How is it an awful year when it is the year that we have some government we are determine to us Bitcoin as strategy reserve. Have ever think about some achievement Bitcoin achieve this year, and the level of influencer people who join the market?
If the price didnt make the parabolic people believe it will make isn't it something that should expected that once the market is crowd there's high chance of manipulation.
I believe those that expect so much from Bitcoin after organization like BlackRock enter the market are naive when all organization that profiting through the use of manipulation.

We are just a few weeks from the half way point of this year and what an awful year it has been so far.

I don't want to say it's awful though, but it's an opportunity.

An opportunity for those who bought when everybody's afraid to buy. An opportunity to make profit when the market is bleeding. Imagine if you bought when the market is at around $80,000 or even below, and then sold it at the peak at $110,000? That's already around 20% profit just by buying and holding. That's why I don't want to say that this year has been awful so far. Maybe for those who lost their money when the market is going down then it is, but not for me.

Just as when I thought things might start being ok for June with the good news on the CPI data the other day, I now wake up to all this FUD with Israel and Iran war going on and the markets are tanking yet again, some of my altcoins down 15/20% from where they were just 48 hours ago.

That's why many always say to stay cautious when it comes to investing into crypto because news like this can happen at times when we don't expect it to happen. I opened a trade hours before the war happened. A long position, and was in profit still then I slept. when I woke up, I just saw that I'm down already. Shit happens anyway.

I had hoped we might see a decent June before the typical boring summer but not even sure if we will get that now, may just have to wait till Q4 once the summer is done which is usually a good time for crypto.

Q4 usually is a good time for crypto indeed for most of the time that's why many are saying that we might see the peak of this bull run by that quarter. It might happen, or might not though, but just be ready.

I am just holding for now, not buying or selling , if we fall another 10% then I will buy more. What is everyone else doing and what do we think is left in store for rest of 2025?

Many are saying the top is in for Bitcoin but that can’t be it surely? I’ve seen predictions ranging from $160-200k this year, are we still thinking that? Or is 2025 really the start of a long bear market ..

I'm also holding some assets still, but still doing trading. As for the top of Bitcoin, this might scare some, but we've seen a double top formation at the $110,000-$112,000. It happened as well during the 2021 bull run, and I hope this will not turn out to be the peak of Bitcoin, and it gets invalidated or else, we might see the bull run ending way earlier than many are expecting. :X

No one can say for sure what the future price of Bitcoin will be, but we should not be too skeptical about the price of Bitcoin in the rest of 2025 just because the global geo-political situation is heating up. The market is slightly down, it is natural as a response to the situation, but just remember that this is not the first time we have seen a situation like this, it may affect the market but the price of Bitcoin will definitely recover again and may increase significantly.. so just see how the situation goes.

[JeffBrad12]

Being a bitcoin holder in this month is like a boxer who got beaten left and right to the face.
We've already getting bad sentiment from the tariff yet right now there's war ongoing. The price plummet and there's no breakout happening so far.
This kind of thing is the problem that's totally out of control, what we can do is just buy the dips and hoping market to recover.
It'd be great if the world can calm down for at least a year so that economic recovery can happen, we're not even a decade after covid-19 pandemic that destroyed most of the economies worldwide.

[michellee]

I dont have enough funds available to buy Bitcoin right now.

My bet for this cycle has been altcoins, and I am waiting for another run like we saw end of 2024 when my portfolio went from break even to +225% in just 5 weeks.

I took profits when that happened but not enough as I thought we would keep going up in 2025 but it has been awful with Trump his tariffs and wars etc keeping stocks and crypto down.

My plan is to sell all my altcoins when they finally see a move to the upside whenever that comes this year, and then with those profits buy Bitcoin.

I assume you already have altcoins and wait for altcoin season. If that is the case, you can buy Bitcoin using your profit by selling altcoin in a high price. You don't have to worry although altcoin season will come but we don't know when. You can just hope your altcoin can give you a big profit.

I also have some altcoins and ready for the altcoin season coming. So I am sure that other people will have the same goals as you selling their altcoin at a high price.

If you want to sell your altcoin, you can choose your profit in Bitcoin or stable coin. I mean you search for the Bitcoin pair your altcoin or stable coin pair your altcoin. But if until the next year, altcoin season is not explode and only give you not too big profit, you should be more patient.

June might be bumpy with slow motion, but it seems that new momentum is gradually building. yeah, actually, global war, sanctions, tariffs, and geopolitical FUD, summer doldrums, altogether pushing the market to the north. Whatever, until we hold support very soon, a rally into Q3-Q4 will begin, and it could go beyond either. I support your strategy, holding and adding more on dips will give you the strength to stay away from FOMO. Like another ~10% drop, it aligns well with the historical pattern.

Till now, people are serious with alt lol , it is a tougher ride, all alt coins shitcoins are far more sensitive to the market sentiment & risk off moves.

You just stated the obvious and fact, we cant predict the exact price of Bitcoin that's why personally I don't get bothered especially when the price of Bitcoin drops, I think this is not the first time we have experiencing escalating tensions on war zone although our assumptions maybe right that the tensions are the reason for the temporal price decline thats being faced by Bitcoin but the suspected causing factors wouldn't stay forever although they have reoccurring tendency which I believe that Bitcoin will also finds it way out out of it, it is just a matter of time, since we are conversant with how volatility works and how it can favour either upsurge or dip at any given time, I think we should utilize this opportunity to pay more attention to our Bitcoin accumulation because we sleep wake to see Bitcoin price soar to our unexpected imagination.

Don't even think of the bear market for now until Bitcoin last all time high has been achieved for this season, most of these speculations you have been seeing were quite interesting and could be more significant to be the actual range the market price could go this season, once the limit is not above $200,000.

But for the bullrun to continue, it could come by any dimension and we don't have an idea how this may starts until then, when we see the way of the market performance and reactions to the economic and financial aspect, for now, we should speculate more better with the hope that things will go more higher than this before the end of 2025.

Basing on the current flow though, our target is $120k at least this early before we can go and shoot for higher price at the end of the year. And so far, as per the sentiments, we are still very much positive and bullish and that is a good thing. Although we might encounter some dips along the way, but that is part of the market. What's important is that we are willing to stay till the end of the year and see that we will go to $150k or higher.

And then after that we might talked about the bear market in 2026. Funny though, let's say if we see the price hitting $200k and then the lowest in the bear market is like $75k, then who would have thought that a bear market with that kind of price?

Daniel, I feel your pain dude, it is really sad that we didn't see any historical alt rally after a year passed, Bitcoin broke its ATH.
While Bitcoin is holding its historical top notch till now, and within 1 year we didn't face any significant correction, most of the altcoin has failed to hold its All Time Low value. I actually wonder where those emotional alt hodlers still get so much confidence that they will go moon one day. and still showing temptation to newbies to join with them.

michellee, you are right. So-called altcoin season is always a big question mark & being ready to convert gains into BTC is a smart play for risk management & securing profit.

[YOSHIE]

We are just a few weeks from the half way point of this year and what an awful year it has been so far.

Of course I do not blame those who speculate that their right in assessing the price of Bitcoin in 2025, whatever they can analyze and speculate.

But I personally am not sure for this year Bitcoin will surpass the current price, I speculate just the opposite, even so all of us Hoping the best for this 2025, we all understand that every four years Halving happens, meaning that new changes occur to Bitcoin, that's how Bitcoin works.

The point is all of that is in our own confidence where this year the year of the formation of a new ATH for Bitcoin whether at this time the peak or vice versa.

[yudi09]

Holding out not to sell is not a good decision, but holding out not to buy is worth a second thought as there are methods that do not keep us awake with the portfolio. Sometimes holding on not buying is not an option if the money capability is available.

Many are saying the top is in for Bitcoin but that can’t be it surely? I’ve seen predictions ranging from $160-200k this year, are we still thinking that? Or is 2025 really the start of a long bear market ..

If it's Bitcoin, don't be afraid. Instead, be careful of altcoins if you have altcoins in your basket.

[virasog]

Just be careful with altcoins because as some fall, they may not get back to the price you bought them, the only coins that I know you can buy but its price fall and later increase back is bitcoin. Also the way altcoins are falling, it can really be frustrating. As you think some has falling to 75%, it is possible they can still fall more. People buy them, dump them and move to another altcoin and so on. The most frustrating thing about altcoins is that they are not getting to all-time high, which means they are not store of value.

The only hope for the altcoin holders is the BTC Dominance to decrease and that would be the only time when one can hope that altcoins prices may rise. I don't think that BTC. D can stay above and the big correction is very near. Initially I thought it may rise to 70% before falling down but now i think it will be moving down anytime soon.

Hint:- When we see bitcoin dominance is dropped near to 50% level, that would be end of the bull cycle and altcoin run too.

[Odusko]

The remaining part of 2025 is going to be more bull momentum that we see any possibility of bear market, for me 2025 is a year that Bitcoin will definitely be making several and multiple all time highs and for sure we can achieve somewhere 120k before the end of this year and from the Bitcoin chart movement and the entire outlook with countries approving Bitcoin reserves and ETF money inflow we should expect a lot whole new level of market dimensions for Bitcoin in 2025 remaining.

[batang_bitcoin]

We are just a few weeks from the half way point of this year and what an awful year it has been so far.

Awful? this is the best yet so far because Bitcoin hit $100k+ for its ATH. It's just that you held the wrong cryptos and you took the hit badly for not seeing your alts move a lot.

I am just holding for now, not buying or selling , if we fall another 10% then I will buy more. What is everyone else doing and what do we think is left in store for rest of 2025?

Maybe the best is yet to come and that's why keep on holding but make sure that you're buying BTC.

Many are saying the top is in for Bitcoin but that can’t be it surely? I’ve seen predictions ranging from $160-200k this year, are we still thinking that? Or is 2025 really the start of a long bear market ..

Just make sure that you're ready for the best and for the worse case scenario. In top of everything, Bitcoin is still doing fine if you look at its chart since last year.

[Agbamoni]

We are just a few weeks from the half way point of this year and what an awful year it has been so far.

Many say Bitcoin is doing well, and it is to some degree but the price is currently less than it was 5 months ago , so it’s maintained its level, nothing special.

If you dont see anything special about the current price, well as for me I do. It’s special because it gives us more opportunities to buy before the next pump. There were times I regretted not buying on, my biggest regret was not being an early adapter of Bitcoin. If only i could rewind time. So, I am happy to be able to afford buying now the price is comfortable for me. I don’t want to have regrets later, like many will in the coming years. Watch and see.

Alts on the other hand , which I am mainly in unfortunately, have been wrecked with some down around 75% from their highs during the pump we saw end of last year.  Thanks to a few winners I picked up last year my portfolio is still in the green though.

Am afraid I will be diverting the conversation with my question, but I will love to know what altcoin did you by that are down 75% now?. Feel free to share it in my Dm.

It's highly probable that we aren't seeing BTC dominance dumping unless it reached 70% dominance. Past chart shows that BTC has been floating around 70% dominance for a while, it's only after the altcoin craze in may 2021 that the dominance dumped to really low.
However, right now dominance keeps climbing because institutional money are the market movers this time around and most of them settle for long term holding through custodian wallet and ETF which gonna be hard to rotate to altcoin.
I don't even think those institutional investors are even interested in investing to a shitcoin. The BTC dominance can still rally.



I frankly won't be hoping too much, but anything possible right?

Totally agree with JamesDaniel90. The price might not seem exciting now, but that's actually a good thing, it gives us a chance to buy before the next big move.
Like you, I've had regrets not buying earlier and sold some earlier too, so I don't want to miss this chance again.

2025 still has a logn way to go, and I believe good things are coming.

[jaberwock]

Holding out not to sell is not a good decision, but holding out not to buy is worth a second thought as there are methods that do not keep us awake with the portfolio. Sometimes holding on not buying is not an option if the money capability is available.

Maybe because selling won't give him the profit that he really wanted? And he even said that he is willing to buy more. As for others that thinks they have enough in their bags, they are only holding and waiting for the perfect time of selling it. It is not a method if our portfolio is not keeping us awake but it is an issue or a disease, though there are methods that we can do to fix that. Obvious one would be is to divert our selves in other things.

If it's Bitcoin, don't be afraid. Instead, be careful of altcoins if you have altcoins in your basket.

Yes, he just said Bitcoin there, although he also mentioned the word bear market later on. Bear market can refer to all cryptos. Judging on his post, he is not afraid but he only wants to verify some things. I can only say that none of us here can predict accurately.
