Bitcoin's price has recently entered a bear market phase amid various challenges.
Last week, BTC hit a bottom of $53,540, its lowest level since February, before rebounding to $57,200 at the time of writing.
This fluctuation has sparked debate among experts, with some optimistic about a quick recovery.
A Standard Chartered analyst predicts Bitcoin could surpass $100,000 by year-end, citing ongoing institutional interest and expectations around potential regulatory shifts under a potential Trump presidency.
Meanwhile, Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant remains bullish, forecasting potential dips to $47,000 but expecting a rise to $112,000 next year.
Analysts also see potential bullish indicators, including expected Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and market movements away from risk-averse assets to tech stocks and Bitcoin.
However, others caution that Bitcoin’s price decline may persist, pointing to technical patterns and ongoing large-scale transactions and liquidations affecting market sentiment.
