Cryptocurrency experts predict a 20% drop in bitcoin

Analysts express different views on the future dynamics of bitcoin BTC $112,898.00 Mezo Wrapped BTC 3.11% Market capitalization $39.92 million VOL. 24 hours $1.88 billion , which at the time of writing is trading around $ 111,700, lagging behind gold and stock indices. Market strategist Jordy Visser compared its trajectory to Nvidia shares, which soared by more than 1,000% after the launch of ChatGPT but experienced at least five drops of 20% or more. He emphasizes that Bitcoin is also characterized by sharp corrections on the way to new highs, and this is part of a long-term trend.

According to Visser, artificial intelligence is transforming the economy, replacing human labor and undermining the value of traditional companies. This may make stocks less attractive to investors, while Bitcoin will act as «digital gold» and a key store of value in an era when fiat currencies and the stock market are losing ground.

However, recent months have brought mixed signals: gold and stocks are updating records, while Bitcoin remains about 11% below its all-time high of more than $ 123,000. Some analysts believe that the fourth quarter could push the price up to $ 140,000, while others expect a deeper correction of more than 20%, which could potentially bring the price down to $ 60,000. The market is further cooled by the lack of progress with the creation of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve in the United States, which could provide strong demand as early as 2025.

For his part, Jan3 founder Samson Mou predicts a rapid acceleration in the adoption of Bitcoin by states. He believes that the world is on the verge of «nation-state FOMO» — a wave when countries will start to include Bitcoin in their national strategies one by one. Mou explains that the United States has already signed an executive order to create a reserve, but actual purchases have not yet begun, while other states, including Pakistan, may be ahead of Washington.

According to Bitbo, the United States currently holds 198,012 BTC, the largest sovereign reserves in the world. At the same time, Fidelity Digital Assets predicts that in 2025, more and more countries and central banks will create their own strategic positions in cryptocurrencies. Despite the delayed price increase, analysts, including Mou and Bitwise CIO Matt Hugan, agree that the next big breakthrough may shift to 2026.
