MacroCRG, in his X post on Dec. 06, says this is “the biggest liquidation event since August”. The managing partner of Hartmann Capital, Felix Hartmann, in his X post, also noted that this first flush of the market after reaching the new price had a 70% chance to end and 30% to go lower.

Bitcoin price movement and projection

The price rose again and made a new all-time high of $103,900 after a surge of more than 5% in a day. The U.S. President-elect Donald Trump even celebrates the event by congratulating the Bitcoiners on his X’s post.

The liquidations show the market enthusiast, but another price target is still a long way to go. Bernstein Research has an ambitious bullish target price for 2025 of $200,000.

Founder of Cardano Charles Hoskinson projects that the price would rise up to $250,000 in just 2 years. He believes that the target price is the lowest target to achieve, yet the highest target is $500,000.
