Bitcoin Price Forecasts

Institutional & Analyst Predictions • Updated: 12/7/2025

Important Disclaimer

  • These forecasts are not guarantees. Crypto is highly volatile and sensitive to regulation, macroeconomics, and market flows.
  • Many forecasts assume major institutional/sovereign adoption and favorable regulation. If these don't materialize, downside risk is significant.
  • For modeling purposes, consider using a base/bullish/bearish triad rather than single point forecasts.
