Bitcoin’s Boom or Bust? Experts Predict $75K Dip Before a $250K Rally
Crypto Chaos: Is Bitcoin Headed for a Meltdown or a Record High?
Bitcoin at a Crossroads: Crash Below $75K or New ATH Incoming
Bitcoin’s price took a 6.5% hit on January 27, dropping to $97,906, following a broader market sell-off linked to the release of China-based DeepSeek’s new AI model. However, the cryptocurrency quickly rebounded, crossing $100,000 again and currently trading at $105,400. This high volatility has sparked concerns over whether Bitcoin might plunge below $75,000 in the coming weeks.
Increased Odds of a $75K Drop
According to Sean Dawson, head of research at Derive, the probability of Bitcoin falling to $75,000 by March has risen from 7.2% to 9.2% in just a day. He attributes this to a surge in Bitcoin’s implied volatility, which has jumped from 52% to 76%, reflecting higher demand for put options—a clear sign that traders are hedging against a potential downturn.
Bitcoin Now Moves with Global Markets
Bitcoin’s price movements are increasingly mirroring traditional stock markets, according to Bitfinex analysts. Rather than being an independent asset, Bitcoin now reacts to broader macroeconomic trends and global risk sentiment, making its price more intertwined with financial markets than ever before.
The last time Bitcoin was trading near $75,000 was on November 8, 2024, right after Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election victory. This event sparked a rally that saw Bitcoin surge past $100,000 by December 5. Now, with economic uncertainties looming, investors are closely monitoring whether Bitcoin will hold its ground or face another downturn.
Could Bitcoin Crash Before a Major Rally?
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, predicts that Bitcoin could drop to the $70,000-$75,000 range, possibly triggering a “mini financial crisis.” However, he believes that if such a downturn occurs, it could lead to increased money printing—a move that might push Bitcoin’s price to $250,000 by the end of 2025.
What’s Next for Bitcoin?
Bitcoin’s price swings remain a hot topic among investors, with the market divided on whether it will stabilize or see further declines. With growing links to global financial trends, Bitcoin’s future value may depend more on macroeconomic forces than just crypto market dynamics. As 2025 unfolds, all eyes are on whether Bitcoin will crash before its next big rally—or if new highs are around the corner.
