2022 was a rough year for crypto. More than $1.3 trillion was wiped off the value of the market. And bitcoin, the world's largest digital coin, saw its price slump by more than 60%. Crypto prices were highly volatile at the end of 2022 following the collapse of FTX, one of the largest and fastest-growing crypto exchanges. And there are many things like keeping crypto prices low. Bitcoin is below $17K and has largely remained in that price range this week, marking a nearly 80% decrease in value since the token's all-time high in November 2021.
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price today is hovering around the $16,800 level, following a sustained downtrend over the past few months. To help provide an overview of BTC's long-term outlook, presented below is our price forecast for the years ahead:
Analysts of the crypto market view the technology of Bitcoin as outdated, and also note that there are many superior cryptos in terms of speed, scalability, environmental awareness, and other important factors that influence the formation of the price. Despite Bitcoin's shortcomings, analysts agree that during 2023 this crypto will still experience value growth, predicting its maximum value of $30,121 by the end of next year.
End of 2025 – Over the coming years, although some of the best altcoins may develop better utility and uses than Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency should retain its ranking due to its 'first mover' status. Due to this, our Bitcoin price forecast estimates the coin could reach a value of $90,000 by the end of 2025.
End of 2030 – With the acceptance of BTC reaching epic proportions in 2030, Bitcoin will appreciate above $1 million per coin to hit an all-time high above $150,000.
When you study the past performance of a cryptocurrency, you familiarize yourself with how it moves. Some are more volatile than others, and some increase or decrease in a certain way. Technical analysis will enable you to make better Bitcoin price predictions.
From the graph above, Bitcoin price analysis shows that BTC clearly saw its biggest gains in 2021, prior to this Bitcoin had difficulty climbing back to its previous all-time high of almost $20K in 2018 — particularly in 2019. Though with every price correction, BTC has managed to escape at the other end slightly higher than when it started.
The Bitcoin price from 2009 to 2018 was also a highly interesting period. The asset went from virtually nothing to thousands of dollars per coin in a few short years. Much of this enormous rise has been attributed to the Bitcoin halving.
Bitcoin price signaling the end of bull run: BTC hit an all-time high of $68,997.75 on November 8, 2021. But the big crypto produced a major shift in market structure by producing a lower low on the weekly timeframe at $32,995 on January 24. This move confirmed the start of a bear market.
Terra-Luna-3AC crash: As Bitcoin price trickled lower, it was followed by the downfall of the algorithmic stablecoin Terra and its constituents in May. This move caused BTC to shed 30% of its market value in less than two weeks. As a result of this sudden market crash, the overleveraged crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) faced an untimely demise, which pushed the market down from roughly $30,000 to $17,600.
Collapse of FTX: The most recent and fresh wound that the crypto market suffered is the bankruptcy of the FTX exchange and its related subsidiaries. The collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's empire came at the hands of his opponent and rival Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who is the founder of Binance. As a result of these three events, Bitcoin price crashed 80% from its all-time high.
