Following the fourth halving in April 2024 and the approval of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, many expected Bitcoin to surge past $120,000. Instead, it&rsquo;s been consolidating&mdash;and correcting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, macro pressure, rising gold prices, and market saturation raise fears of deeper pullbacks. The result? Conflicting predictions from top-tier analysts, with price targets ranging from $10,000 to $350,000 by year-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-3bf0bfbd uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M0 256C0 114.6 114.6 0 256 0C397.4 0 512 114.6 512 256C512 397.4 397.4 512 256 512C114.6 512 0 397.4 0 256zM371.8 211.8C382.7 200.9 382.7 183.1 371.8 172.2C360.9 161.3 343.1 161.3 332.2 172.2L224 280.4L179.8 236.2C168.9 225.3 151.1 225.3 140.2 236.2C129.3 247.1 129.3 264.9 140.2 275.8L204.2 339.8C215.1 350.7 232.9 350.7 243.8 339.8L371.8 211.8z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-ifb-title joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"info-box\">Info Box<\/h3><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/blog\/what-drives-crypto-prices-in-q2-2025-best-crypto-indicators-to-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"What drives crypto prices\">What drives crypto prices<\/a>?

As with previous cycles, this programmed supply reduction introduces a deflationary shock that typically takes time to be fully reflected in market prices. Historically, Bitcoin&rsquo;s most pronounced bull runs have not occurred immediately after halving events, but rather within a 6&ndash;18 month window, as supply-side pressure gradually builds against growing demand.

Even amid record ETF inflows, Bitcoin remains a high-beta asset, meaning it tends to amplify broader market moves&mdash;both upward in bull phases and sharply downward during corrections. Bloomberg&rsquo;s Mike McGlone warns that this dynamic is likely to persist, suggesting the current downcycle for crypto is far from over. In his view, Bitcoin&rsquo;s correlation with risk assets, rather than its narrative as &ldquo;digital gold,&rdquo; is once again being tested under macro stress. Mike has warned that Bitcoin could fall back to $10,000, echoing mean reversion theory after the asset&rsquo;s massive rally from $10K to $109K in five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&ldquo;The crypto space is overhyped and bloated.

That&rsquo;s where Bitcoin-backed loans come into play. A <a href=\"https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/loans\/btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Bitcoin loan \">Bitcoin loan <\/a>lets you use your BTC as collateral to borrow stablecoins or fiat&mdash;without need to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you don&rsquo;t have to make a tough call between holding or selling your Bitcoin. Instead, you can unlock its value temporarily, get the liquidity you need, and still stay exposed to any potential price growth &ndash; while maintaining your position for the future of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-12-1024x478.png\" alt=\"Future Of Bitcoin\" class=\"wp-image-8788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-12-1024x478.png 1024w, https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-12-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-12-768x358.png 768w, https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-12-1536x717.png 1536w, https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-12.png 1796w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#9989; <strong>Stay exposed to potential price growth<\/strong> &mdash; benefit if BTC rises while your loan is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#9989; <strong>Preserve your BTC holdings<\/strong> &mdash; access liquidity without selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#9989; <strong>Get stablecoins like USDT\/USDC instantly<\/strong> &mdash; no market timing required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#9989; 24\/7 human support <\/strong>&ndash; real people, always available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#9989; <strong>No verification<\/strong> &mdash; privacy-focused and fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#9989; <strong>Fixed interest rate from 1.5%<\/strong> &mdash; no surprises or hidden fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#9989; <strong>Flexible terms<\/strong> &mdash; no fixed repayment schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#9989; <strong>Withdraw BTC anytime<\/strong> &mdash; full flexibility as long as your collateral remains healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-aos=\"fade-down\" data-aos-duration=\"400\" data-aos-delay=\"0\" data-aos-easing=\"ease\" data-aos-once=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-uagb-marketing-button uagb-marketing-btn__align-center uagb-marketing-btn__align-text-center uagb-marketing-btn__icon-after uagb-block-55932847 wp-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coinrabbit.io\/loans\/?referral=blog\" class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__link wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title\">Get a Crypto Loan<\/span><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M384 320c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v96H64V160h96c17.67 0 32-14.32 32-32s-14.33-32-32-32L64 96c-35.35 0-64 28.65-64 64V448c0 35.34 28.65 64 64 64h288c35.35 0 64-28.66 64-64v-96C416 334.3 401.7 320 384 320zM488 0H352c-12.94 0-24.62 7.797-29.56 19.75c-4.969 11.97-2.219 25.72 6.938 34.88L370.8 96L169.4 297.4c-12.5 12.5-12.5 32.75 0 45.25C175.6 348.9 183.8 352 192 352s16.38-3.125 22.62-9.375L416 141.3l41.38 41.38c9.156 9.141 22.88 11.84 34.88 6.938C504.2 184.6 512 172.9 512 160V24C512 10.74 501.3 0 488 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><p class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix\">Unlock maximum profit<\/p><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-aos=\"zoom-out\" data-aos-duration=\"400\" data-aos-delay=\"0\" data-aos-easing=\"ease\" data-aos-once=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-uagb-inline-notice uagb-inline_notice__align-left uagb-block-520df909\"><span class=\"uagb-notice-title\"><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong><\/span><div class=\"uagb-notice-text\">The information provided in this article is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice.
