Bitcoin Price Prediction 2025-2030: What next for BTC as it falls below $27k support?

Disclaimer: The datasets shared in the following article have been compiled from a set of online resources and do not reflect AMBCrypto’s own research on the subject.

Bitcoin (BTC) held a snap rebound on 18 May as it circled $27,400 on trading charts.

BTC moved higher as the investors shrugged off the potential turbulence from the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations and its ripple effects on crypto. Besides, President Joe Biden’s statement about the U.S. not defaulting on its debt, also boosted morale.

The cryptocurrency market however continues to remain volatile. But thankfully for Bitcoin enthusiasts, the token has shown considerable tenacity. But the bulls were not able to maintain the price above the $27k support level.

Investors are also curious about the possible effects of the 2024 Bitcoin price halving on the price of BTC. Examining the historical accumulation and distribution cycles, as well as the fees-to-rewards ratio, can provide important hints regarding the price trajectory of Bitcoin in the future.

4 February 2023 was a significant day for Bitcoin as the US Non-farm Payrolls report for January came out. The data revealed that the U.S economy created fewer jobs in January, which encouraged Bitcoin investors.

Moreover, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest believes that Bitcoin is a fantastic asset for safeguarding money and offering protection for people who are financially disadvantaged all around the world. Its price has probably increased because of this viewpoint.

Additionally, the Basel Committee of the BIS estimates that the global banks currently own over $9 billion in cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin and derivatives based on it accounting for 56% of this total.

The fact that institutional investors are placing substantial bets on Bitcoin must be noted. Michael Saylor, a co-founder of MicroStrategy, has a strong bullish outlook for Bitcoin too.

Approximately 130,000 BTC, or 0.62% of the 19 million Bitcoin currently in circulation, are owned by his company.

Additionally, Goldman Sachs’ recent declaration of support for Bitcoin has increased investor confidence in the cryptocurrency. It is possible to anticipate that this news will significantly increase Bitcoin’s value. According to a recent tweet from a single user, the S&P 500, US Treasury bonds, gold, and other well-known indices were all beaten by Bitcoin in Goldman Sachs’ ranking of the best-performing assets for 2022.

A CNBC article pointed out that history has shown that bull runs in the price of Bitcoin typically last four years. The initial step of this cycle is the accumulation of Bitcoin, which is followed by an uptrend, selling or distribution of the cryptocurrency, and finally a downtrend. Some scholars believe 2023 might mark the start of the accumulation phase.

Additionally, if positive economic news prompts investors to reevaluate their assumptions that the Federal Reserve would switch to a more dovish monetary policy any time soon, Bitcoin protects investors from losses in U.S. stocks.

However, Tesla, a maker of electric vehicles, has declined to add to its Bitcoin holdings in the second half of 2022, after having decreased them by 75% in the first quarter. Tesla did not purchase or sell any Bitcoin for the second consecutive quarter, according to its most recent Q4 results report, which was published on Jan. 25.

According to McGlone, the Fed’s interest rate negotiations will most likely lay the framework for Bitcoin to maintain its upward trajectory and outperform most asset classes. The commodity expert also predicted that Bitcoin would be the asset with the best performance in H2 2022.

Despite this, Bitcoin supporters have contended that the cryptocurrency is uniquely positioned to replace gold as a haven asset, an inflation hedge, or even both.

In fact, according to on-chain data, more Bitcoin whales with 1,000 to 10,000 BTCs in their wallets have appeared recently, indicating that investors have been accumulating the cryptocurrency.

In the meantime, BitVol, a volatility indicator, has “begun to break down,” plunging to close to its lowest levels since the spring, according to Jake Gordon at Bespoke Investment Group. The index, at press time, was hovering at 69, down from over 111 in May.

According to Mike Novogratz, the CEO of cryptocurrency investing firm Galaxy Digital, the gloomy trend may continue for another two to six months. The majority of investors that required fiat have already sold their assets, he claimed, and sellers are severely depleted. However, the Fed’s monetary policy needs to shift to buck the trend.

Top-tier Bitcoin whales are continuing to sell, and they currently have between 100 and 10,000 BTC. Over the course of the previous year, 3.5% of the supply on these crucial addresses was moved to locations having a lower impact on future price fluctuations. Just in September, another 0.4% of BTC’s supply was burned. A significant tendency to watch out for in October is the accumulation of potential whales.

Since there is still a dearth of unique BTC traveling from address to address, the NVT signal has given out a bearish signal for the second consecutive month. A change in the same could indicate a bullish trend. And yet, crypto has developed into one of the largest assets in the world from being ultimately almost worthless. Bitcoin’s market capitalization peaked even higher than several well-known companies.

One thing that is instantly clear from this data is that Bitcoin’s price cycles are getting shorter. Furthermore, even though the coin frequently loses value, the average price of Bitcoin keeps rising. This indicates a promising pattern for the future.

And despite everyone writing it off, the crypto sector, including Bitcoin, is renowned for its resilience and capacity for comebacks. For the past eight years, different financial experts have consistently predicted that the Bitcoin bubble will burst “soon.” However, the coin is still in demand and BTC investors make significant returns.

The following article will touch upon these projections. With BTC emerging as a strong store of value of late, it is crucial investors are aware of where popular analysts see the cryptocurrency heading over the next decade. These projections, while not an absolute certainty in any way, can help traders and holders make smart decisions.

That’s not all, however. According to CoinGecko, for instance, Bitcoin enjoys a market share of just under 44%. While this figure isn’t as high as it was back in 2017 or even, 2021, it’s a significant share. By extension, what it means is that whatever happens to Bitcoin, the rest of the altcoin market is bound to see a ripple effect. Ergo, even if you’re only into altcoins, what BTC performs will affect you too.

This article will briefly look at the cryptocurrency’s recent market performance, with a special focus on its market cap, volume, and rate of appreciation/depreciation. The same will be expanded upon with the use of datasets such as non-zero addresses, no. of whale transactions, et al. It will conclude by summarizing the projections of the most popular analysts/platforms, while also looking at the Fear & Greed Index to assess the mood of the market.

Interestingly, at press time, the king coin was trading at $26,869 with a market capitalization of over $520 billion. However, the premier token has not been able to maintain its value above the $30,000-price mark.

On 6 March, 545k Bitcoin tokens were added to all exchanges, according to Santiment’s Exchange Inflow Indicator. This, again, was a sign of the selling pressure on BTC’s market.

BTC falling again may be good news for investors. Especially since many would see this as a good opportunity to buy BTC on the low. In fact, while BTC is still over 58% away from its ATH of over $69,000, there’s a lot of optimism around.

Consider the comments of the legendary Bill Miller, for instance. He was in the news a while back when he claimed,

“Bitcoin’s supply is growing around 2.5 percent a year, and the demand is growing faster than that.”

To Miller, this growth in demand will be accompanied by a corresponding hike in price too, with a target of $100,000 being thrown around by some. In fact, a similar logic was applied by Bloomberg Intelligence when it claimed that the demand and adoption curves pointed to a projection of $100,000 by 2025.

The best times to start Bitcoin businesses are during bear markets. The nine-week Legends of the Lightning tournament between competing Bitcoin businesses would seem to support that.

Over 65 events from all over the world participated in the tournament-turned-hackathon, which comprised 73 projects competing for a piece of the 3 BTC ($50,000) up for grabs. The champions of the Global Adoption and Building for Africa competition tracks were announced as Lightsats, Mutiny Wallet, and AgriMint, respectively.

One can argue that over the last few years, much of Bitcoin’s demand and adoption has been driven by its emergence as a store of value. In fact, while quite a few are into it for the tech, many others are into Bitcoin for a good return on their investment. It is in this regard that it’s worth looking at how its ROIs have been.

Understandably, the aforementioned datasets are products of how BTC has been doing on the price charts of late. Thanks to its most recent drawdown, its ROIs have been negative. Even so, there are a few factors that seem to underline a bullish turn for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

For instance, the number of Bitcoin addresses holding 0.1+ coins hit an ATH. That’s not all either –

Furthermore, according to IntoTheBlock, 71% of investors recorded profit at BTC’s press time prices. On the contrary, 26% of the holders were in loss.

In addition to this, holder composition by time projected something positive too. A total of 62% held their coins for a period of more than one year, while 32% have held their coins for between one to 12 months. Proving more support for the holding activity, Glassnode too underlined something similar. BTC’s addresses with a balance of 1 BTC hit a new high.

That’s not all.

In fact, despite the bearish outlook, the adoption rate didn’t fail to satisfy the crypto’s credentials. Talking about adoption, BTC acquiring giants within this game (large holders) too reiterated the trend. For instance, look at MicroStrategy‘s latest spree.

In a prospectus filed with the SEC on 9 September 2022, the company aims to sell up to $500 million in stocks to fund more Bitcoin purchases. Since 2020, MicroStrategy has purchased about 130,000 Bitcoins, worth more than $2 billion, using funds raised from stock and bond offerings.

“We may use the net proceeds from this offering to purchase additional Bitcoin,” the company said in the filing.

Publicly traded software company MicroStrategy (MSTR) is already the single-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.

Now that the background and context is taken care of, what do popular platforms and analysts say about where they see Bitcoin heading in 2025 and 2035? Well, only one way to find out.

How many BTCs can you buy for $1?

Before we get to predictions, it’s important that one salient feature be identified and highlighted. Predictions vary. From one platform to the other, from one analyst to the other, predictions can be significantly different from each other.

Consider the year 2025, for instance –

According to Changelly, Bitcoin’s average trading price will be $62,381.67 in 2025, with the platform predicting its maximum and minimum prices to be $60,214.03 and $74,683.33.

On the contrary, there is reason to believe that the cryptocurrency’s upside won’t be as high. Why? Well, because the crypto is yet to be uniformly supported by global regulatory and legislative regimes. With CBDCs being slowly introduced in many countries, the attitude towards cryptos isn’t exactly positive either.

Finally, the last six months also highlighted the tendency of most retail investors to run with their holdings once the market bloodbath starts.

Another interesting way to look at it is using the growth of tech to highlight how far Bitcoin might go.

Consider the simple case of Google, for instance. Despite recent turmoil, it’s expected to grow exponentially over the next 5 to 10 years. However, it can be argued that this growth will go hand in hand with the growth of Bitcoin and the crypto-market, by extension. This, owing to the correlation between the two.

Bitcoin searches on Google being 7x and 42x higher than the no. of searches for USD and Euro, respectively, is evidence of the same. In fact, according to studies, there has historically been a 91% correlation between BTC prices and Google search volumes.

For starters, one thing must be made clear. 2025 and 2030 are five years apart. Predictions are difficult to get right as it is. It’s perhaps even more difficult when the timeframe in question is a good 8 years down the line.

Even so, one can see that most people’s predictions for Bitcoin’s 2030 price are on the bullish side. Now, while there is good reason behind such optimism, it’s worth pointing out that these projections don’t account for variables like black swan events.

So, what is everyone saying?

According to Changelly, BTC might peak at around $490k in 2030, with the cryptocurrency trading at an average price of $428k.

What drives these projections? Well, a couple of reasons. For starters, most are optimistic about the value of the crypto’s scarcity coming into play. Secondly, maximalists envision a future where demand for Bitcoin is endless. Finally, with Bitcoin adoption rising by 113% annually, many believe the same will one day be highlighted by BTC’s price.

There are other projections too, ones even more bullish. According to Parallax Digital’s Robert Breedlove, for instance, BTC will hit $12.5M by 2031. Now, he did say that the cryptocurrency will hit $307k by October 2021. Ergo, there’s good reason why some might not take him seriously.

2040 is 18 years away. 18 years. Even Bitcoin isn’t 18 yet.

Needless to say, projecting a price level for 2040 is even more difficult, with a whole host of uncertainties around. For the sake of argument, let’s just assume everything else remains the same as it is. How then is BTC likely to do on the charts by 2040?

Well, some have taken a good shot at answering this question.

According to Telegaon, BTC will enjoy an average trading price of $353k, ‘depending on the market trend,’ by 2040. It went on to predict,

“Our maximum price prediction for Bitcoin is $418,512.87 in 2040. If the market gets bullish, Bitcoin may surge more than our BTC price forecast in 2040.”

Others have been more vague, with some declaring million-dollar valuations without a definitive timeline for the same. Perhaps, this is for good reason too. After all, blockchain and crypto-trends might change by 2040. Furthermore, who knows what will happen if Bitcoin’s growing adoption doesn’t coincide with a corresponding drive to address its speed and scalability.

Also, for all its growth, it’s difficult to see the crypto outgrow the price dynamics that come with its supply and demand side. In fact, look no further than the last few months when many miners like Riot Blockchain and BitFarms become net sellers of Bitcoin.

Here, it’s worth pointing out that according to a Finder survey, many believe HyperBitcoinization will be upon us by 2040. Maybe even 2035. These events will certainly dictate where BTC will be by 2040.

Conclusion

Data from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode confirmed that as of 18 May, there are over 1 million addresses that hold at least 1 BTC.

Blockstream CEO and co-founder Adam Back opined that the time of “hyperbitcoinization” may soon come. Should the existing trend continue, he argued, BTC price growth would soon make buying it not only a luxury but something unattainable altogether.

In light of everything stated above, it was evident from a technical perspective that the current state of Bitcoin was stable for a short-term, at least. However, we can still observe some underlying strength for the king coin on the front of the on-chain metrics.

Thus, one might draw the conclusion that while Bitcoin’s short-term prospects are bright right now, we should watch if it is able to hit the $30k-price level.

Miners started operating at a higher cost than the block subsidy and transaction fees they generated when BTC/USD dropped 20% in a matter of days. As a result, mining rigs are idled, and miners are forced to sell BTC to fund costs.

In the future, things could get worse if significant mining companies end up selling their held BTC in large quantities to satisfy debts.

Now, it’s worth pointing out that there was good reason behind the aforementioned drop in price. According to reports, this was on the back of US Federal Reserve officials reiterating their resolve to keep raising interest rates until inflation is contained. Correspondingly, BTC’s drop in price mimicked the drop seen across equity markets – Unsurprising, especially since there has been a steady correlation between Bitcoin’s price and U.S stocks. In fact, such is the correlation that,

“… marking the strongest correlation since 2010 between digital assets and key equities indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.”

Such was the scale of the aforementioned fall that over $220M in crypto-positions was liquidated, with Bitcoin accounting for almost half of it, according to CoinGlass.

Now, while that’s what is the case on the price front, it’s worth looking at what’s happening in the background too. Consider this – According to the AASA indicator, while BTC has appreciated of late, the same wasn’t supported by a related hike in active addresses on the network. The same was also recently pointed out by the Founder of LookIntoBitcoin.

According to Tim Rice, CEO of the analytics firm CoinMetrics, more traditional financial institutions have entered the cryptocurrency market. Big banks are still waiting for more transparent regulation of the cryptocurrency industry, nevertheless, to lower their risks.

However, 15 months before the mining reward halving, which is a planned 50% slowdown in the rate of supply expansion every four years, Bitcoin has bottomed out to start a new rise. In March or April 2024, the next Bitcoin halving is scheduled. If the past is any indication, the bear market in Bitcoin may have come to an end in November at around $15,473, and the digital currency may rise as high as $63,000 before the halving.

The Twitter agreement with Elon Musk has been a key factor in the overall favorable feeling toward Bitcoin, which has been more prevalent than not. Many people assume the billionaire would end up encouraging the usage of Bitcoin and other digital assets on the platform because of his ardent support for cryptocurrencies.

Needless to say, there’s still a lot of optimism around. Consider the opinions of CryptAM’s Niraali Patel, for instance, a panel member for Finder-

“We must think about the long-term implications of Bitcoin and Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. Once mined, this will be the next main store of value as gold once was. The halving is set to occur in 2024, and this will, by definition, increase the USD price of Bitcoin by quite a bit. For this reason, I believe this is the time to buy. Once the halving happens, BTC will be worth at least $100,000.”

BTC stood at the ‘neutral’ mark on the Fear and Greed index.

In Jericoacoara, Brazil, where financial instability has made the need for effective alternatives to conventional banking more urgent than ever, the first Bitcoin Beach event was recently conducted.

Six eminent speakers gave presentations during the three-day event, which took place from 18 – 21 February, 2023. A carnival performance with a Bitcoin theme was also included. The purpose of the event was to inform the nation’s young about Bitcoin and its potential advantages.

The general public’s acceptance of cryptocurrencies can be accelerated by activities that encourage Bitcoin education and raise financial literacy.
