Bitcoin (BTC) 
$98,883 has recently bounced back to around $99,000 after a significant decline not seen in two months. Despite the discouraging sell-off that accelerated since mid-December, there is a wave of positive news on the horizon. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are optimistic that 2025 will reflect a period similar to that of 2021.
Anticipated Bitcoin Price Milestones
The year 2024 began positively, and with Trump’s election win in November, the outlook has greatly improved. While some cryptocurrency investors did not fully capitalize on the initial BTC price surge, many believe that as BTC approaches its peak, altcoins will also see a resurgence. Historical data supports this expectation.
So, at what price will we confidently say, “We are nearly at the peak”? This is crucial for altcoin investors, as many cryptocurrencies are nearing significant support levels reminiscent of 2020’s lows, presenting lucrative buying opportunities. However, whether these are genuine opportunities will depend on the new peaks they may reach.
