With just two months left before 2025 concludes, most of the ambitious Bitcoin price prediction figures seem to be out of reach. Even so, a lot can happen in two months, especially now that market sentiment has improved considerably in the last 2 weeks. A Bitcoin (BTC USD) price prediction above $500,000 before the end of 2025 seemed too far-fetched, especially considering that the start of Q3 under-delivered. As a result, market expectations shrank to far more conservative figures. Take, for example, the latest Bitcoin price prediction from BTC evangelist and Strategy CEO, Michael Saylor. He noted during a recent interview that he expects Bitcoin price to rally above $150,000 by the end of the year.
A $150,000 Bitcoin (BTC USD) price tag may not be as far-fetched given that there was still a considerable amount of time left before the end of 2025. Moreover, the liquidity landscape has been changing, especially with expected FED rate cuts.
Bitcoin Price Readies for Another Bullish Phase Courtesy of Key Catalysts
Saylor’s bullish expectations for the next 2 months might be grounded on the changing liquidity landscape, but that may not be the only catalyst. The Bitcoin reserves narrative triggered excitement earlier this year. This is because it meant that the U.S government would embark on a Bitcoin buying streak for the next few years to ramp up its holdings to at least 1 million coins. However, that narrative appeared to be sidelined as other market-driving forces took over. Recent data suggests that the Bitcoin strategic narrative might be making a comeback. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong noted in a recent interview that the U.S is revisiting the idea of building a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Armstrong also revealed that the trend may also extend to all G20 nations.
Bitcoin will likely benefit immensely in terms of aggressive liquidity inflows if multiple countries embrace the Bitcoin strategic reserve narrative. However, this also means that it may take some time for governments to build up their reserves. Therefore, demand would likely not be felt immediately but over time.
Bitcoin’s Sharp Pullback in October a Blessing in Disguise?
October is coming to a close, and a review of the Bitcoin (BTC USD) price action during the month reveals a contrasting outcome compared to expectations. Many expected the crypto market to enter an aggressive bullish phase in Q4. Instead, the market got the biggest leverage shakedown in the crypto market’s history. The retracement on October 10 allowed investors to buy at a significant discount. This may explain why Bitcoin and the rest of the market bounced back since then. A clear indicator that the overall market expectations remained bullish. Consequently, many took advantage of the pullback by buying more. Glassnode data revealed that the flash crash was accompanied by a massive spike in the number of accumulating addresses.
The data suggested that the number of addresses that bought back BTC after the crash was significantly higher than the number of accumulating addresses in Q3. This wave of accumulation after the October 10 flash crash suggests that Bitcoin price might be gearing up for a demand shock. In other words, Bitcoin (BTC USD) price may soon face yet another explosive move. Perhaps one that may turn Saylor’s $150,000 Bitcoin price prediction into reality.
