Crypto Surge Ahead: Will Bitcoin Hit $100K by Year End?

Key Market Developments

The crypto market in the last 24 hours showed a recovery trend after a sharp pullback in November, with Bitcoin trading above $90,000 and the total crypto market capitalization rising 3.6% to around $3.2 trillion.

This recovery is driven by expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut, improved global trade optimism, and a decrease in leverage and speculative activity, as indicated by on-chain metrics. Major altcoins like BNB, XRP, and Ethereum also posted gains, contributing to positive investor sentiment despite persistent extreme fear levels in the market.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has climbed to 18, signaling persistent Extreme Fear among investors amid recent market volatility. This uptick from prior lows (like 12–15) hints at cautious stabilization, often a precursor to rebounds as fear-driven selling exhausts itself. For traders, scores below 20 typically flag buying opportunities in oversold conditions, especially with Bitcoin consolidating near $91,300

​Bitcoin Price Movements

Bitcoin’s price edged up to about $91,400, recording a 4.6% increase with signs of technical correction. Key on-chain data shows a reduction in overheated leverage, with long-term holders and whale addresses (10–1000 BTC) accumulating. The MVRV ratio, which signals market recovery phases, has dropped to 1.54, and futures open interest has declined from $37 billion to $29 billion, signaling lower speculative exposure. Analysts foresee a possible push toward $100,000 by year-end, although a drop below $88,000 could see a fallback toward $80,000 or lower support zones.​

Key on-chain Bitcoin metrics

In the BTCUSD position, a fill-up signal has triggered, confirming renewed buying momentum. The Stop loss order remains unchanged in its current position for now to protect position amid ongoing volatility.

​Ethereum Price Movements

For Ethereum, recent on-chain metrics indicate active network usage and strong trading activity with 24-hour trading volume around $22.7 billion and chain fees of approximately $683,974. Institutional interest remains high, with wallet activations and inflows supporting bullish positioning. Ethereum’s price rose about 3.8% to roughly $3,038, showing resilience amid broader market stabilization.​

The Stop loss order for the ETHUSD position has been raised to $2,710.10 to protect gains and limit potential losses.

Dollar Index (DXY) Performance

The Dollar Index (DXY) increased modestly by 0.12% over the past 24 hours to about 99.78, maintaining relative strength but reflecting softened inflation data that fuels Fed rate cut expectations. This moderate DXY performance supports positive risk asset flows, including cryptocurrencies.

Market and Price Predictions

Current market predictions suggest Bitcoin may test $100,000 before year-end amid consolidation phases, supported by whale accumulation and demand. Ethereum’s price is forecasted to grow moderately, potentially reaching above $3,200 in the near term as staking and DeFi activity expand.​

High growth-potential crypto projects identified for 2025 include:

• Blast (BLAST), with $3 billion TVL focused on Layer-2 DeFi expansion.
• Zentry (ZENT), a gaming Layer-1 blockchain enhancing Web3 gaming interoperability.
• Doodles (DOOD), an NFT and Web3 entertainment ecosystem expanding tokenized IP and metaverse experiences.

Crypto Conclusion

The cryptocurrency market remains dynamic and full of opportunities, with Bitcoin and Ethereum leading recovery and innovation efforts. Despite short-term volatility, on-chain metrics and trading volumes indicate stable investor interest and potential growth ahead.
