NEW ALL-TIME HIGH 🏦
BREAKING: Bitcoin price registered a fresh all-time high above $106,000
Well that came out of nowhere.
It’s been a while but Bitcoin finally hit a new all-time high. 🥳
(It’s only been 10 days…😂)
This time, Bitcoin surged through $105,000 setting a new all-time high of $106,488.
At the time of writing it has since consolidated around $105,000.
So what caused this sudden surge in price? 🤔
Well, there’s quite a few reasons…
First up are some recent comments from Donald Trump where he stated that he wants to “do something great” with crypto. (Hinting that a US Bitcoin strategic reserve is on the horizon)
Secondly was the news surrounding MicroStrategy, namely their inclusion in the Nasdaq-100.
Michael Saylor also hinted at another Bitcoin purchase which if true, would be announced later today. (FYI, Saylor has posted this exact same tweet 5 weeks in a row before announcing a Bitcoin buy)
Finally we have the market expectations of another interest rate cut on Wednesday.
According to CME Fedwatch, there’s a 97.1% chance that the Fed cuts rates by an additional 0.25%
In summary:
A whole lot of bullish news has come out recently…
But the question is where will Bitcoin end 2024?
The last time we asked you guys this question, 56% of you believed Bitcoin would end the year between $100,000 and $110,000.
Let’s see if this new all-time high has changed anything…

2025 CRYPTO PREDICTIONS 🔮
The big 3 - Bitcoin, Ethereum & Solana will all hit all time-highs in 2025.
This was just the first of several predictions out from Matt Hougan and asset manager Bitwise.
Matt Hougan is the Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise. Bitwise are the 5th largest Bitcoin ETF issuer, holding over $4.38 billion in Bitcoin.
Each year, Bitwise & Matt Hougan release a report outlining their predictions for the crypto market for the following year.
Last year, they made only 1 price prediction for 2024:
“Bitcoin will trade above $80,000, setting a new all-time high.”
At the time of the prediction, Bitcoin was only trading for $40,000. A pretty ballsy prediction.
But they got it spot on. 🎯
This week they released their 2025 report. This time around they made 3 price predictions:
1. Bitcoin Will Hit $200,0000
Bitwise believes we’ll see Bitcoin’s price double in 2025, driven by continued ETF demand combined with reduced supply from the 2025 halving.
However, Bitwise notes that 1 major catalyst could change this price prediction to $500,000+:
“Note: If the U.S. government follows through on proposals to establish a 1 million Bitcoin strategic reserve, $200,000 becomes $500,000 or more.”
2. Ethereum Will Hit $7,000
Bitwise also predict we’ll see Ethereum hit $7,000 in 2025, however in an interview, Matt Hougan admitted this was conservative:
“We’re looking at Ethereum to trade up to $7,000. I think it may take an eye towards $10,000.”
3. Solana Will Hit $750
Bitwise then predict we’ll see Solana hit $750 in 2025. They believe Solana’s story has only just begun:
“We believe Solana’s momentum is just beginning to build… We expect that to accelerate in the year ahead.”
Finally, Bitwise shared a bonus prediction: the year they believe Bitcoin will surpass $1 million per coin:
They believe it will happen by 2029. Which would imply annual return of ~57%.
Not too shabby.
Bitwise nailed their 2024 predictions. If they’re right again?
We’re in for a huge year. 🥂🍾
HOLDING OUT 💪
Let’s kick off the week with a checkin on the Bitcoin HODL waves! 🌊
Each coloured band shows the percentage of Bitcoin that last moved within that time period.
As the colours get cooler, the age bands get older (purple being the oldest, representing coins last moved more than 10 years ago).
As always, we’ll be focusing on long-term holders today. (coins held for more than 6 months)
Here’s the breakdown:
6m - 12m: 10.36%
1y - 2y: 8.91%
2y - 3y: 8.01%
3y - 5y: 15.00%
5y - 7y: 7.45%
7y - 10y: 6.57%
>10y: 16.86%
That means that ~73.16% of the Bitcoin supply has NOT moved in over 6 months.
Over the past month, the amount of long-term holders has fallen by ~3.18%
But here’s the thing…
The majority of this decrease has come from the “younger” long-term holders.
More specifically, we’re talking about coins held for between 6 and 12 months.
Over the past month, the 6m - 12m age band fell by ~2.19%
What about the ultra long-term holders?
Well they’ve continued stacking…
The past month has seen the 10y+ age band increase by 0.04% and the 7y - 10y age band has increased by 0.50%
Meaning longer-term holders are clearly holding out for higher prices.
And they aren’t ready to let go of their coins just yet…
