Bitcoin is rising with an expectation of reaching 150 thousand dollars by the end of the year.

The price of Bitcoin has gained significant momentum in recent days, successfully reclaiming the $115,000 level. Expert analysts suggest that the traditionally occurring "Christmas rally" could also be active this year. During this period, both macroeconomic improvements and on-chain supply constraints are supporting the rise.

With the increase in the market over the weekend, Bitcoin reached its highest level in the last two weeks, while Ethereum's price also gained $4,187, marking a 6% increase. Solana rose by 5.7%, while XRP and Binance Coin (BNB) showed around a 2% increase. During this rise, approximately $347.5 million in liquidations occurred in short positions.

BTC Markets analyst Rachael Lucas emphasized that these price movements are not coincidental, stating, “These movements are not short-term jumps, but part of a sustainable trend supported by macro winds, on-chain supply tightening, and strong technical indicators.” Analysts point out that progress in US-China trade talks and expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) are increasing demand for risky assets.

As the market approaches the last months of the year, discussions about the Christmas rally are resurfacing. Nick Ruck, Director of LVRG Research, noted that historically, Bitcoin tends to show an upward trend as the year comes to a close. Ruck stated, “Following the 2024 halving, with the resulting supply imbalance, the price is likely to rise to the range of $130,000 - $150,000 by the end of 2025.”

Vincent Liu from Kronos Research expressed that the Christmas rally arises as a combination of low liquidity, portfolio rebalancing, and increasing optimism. He believes a similar scenario could be formed this year with the expected interest rate cuts from the Fed.

Experts highlight that the Fed's interest rate decision this week and developments concerning the anticipated trade agreement between Trump and Xi could pave the way for a new wave of price increases for Bitcoin until the end of the year. Investors are advised to closely monitor market movements in light of these significant developments.
