Based on The Crypto Basic, Bitcoin has failed to meet most bullish price targets for 2025, closing the year near $90,130, down over 21% from its October peak. Analysts and firms such as KuCoin Research, Fundstrat, H.C. Wainwright, and Galaxy Research had projected prices ranging from $160,000 to $250,000, but Bitcoin’s price action fell short of these expectations. Despite regulatory progress and ETF inflows, macroeconomic pressures and volatility limited upward momentum. KuCoin Research had predicted a peak near $250,000 and a $3.4 trillion altcoin market, but Bitcoin’s highest point was just above $126,000. Other forecasts from Tom Lee, Matrixport, and VanEck also failed to materialize, with Bitcoin’s year-end price remaining below all major targets.
