Citi Forecasts Bitcoin Price Range Between $78,500 and $189,000

Citigroup analysts have provided a significant price outlook for Bitcoin over the next 12 months:

Base-case target: $143,000, driven by anticipated growth in ETF participation and regulatory clarity.
Bullish scenario: Bitcoin could reach $189,000.
Bearish scenario: Potential price drop to $78,500.

The projections highlight regulated investment vehicles' role in shaping Bitcoin's market, with Spot Bitcoin ETFs lowering barriers for institutional investors.

In contrast, Fundstrat Global Advisors offers a more cautious view:

Internal discussions predict Bitcoin may fall to the $60,000-$65,000 range due to macroeconomic pressures and tightening financial conditions.
Ethereum may retreat to $1,800-$2,000 and Solana to $50-$75.

This internal view contrasts with Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee's public bullish stance on long-term growth for both Ethereum and Bitcoin.
