Galaxy Digital Lowers Bitcoin Price Target Amid Market Downturn

The cryptocurrency market is under bearish pressure, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to regain key support levels.

Galaxy Digital Adjusts Bitcoin Price Target

  • Galaxy Digital lowered its year-end Bitcoin price target from $185,000 to $120,000 due to a significant leverage wipeout in the market.
  • CryptoQuant notes that Bitcoin dropping below its 365-day moving average near $102,000 might signal further decline.
  • Challenges include a stronger dollar and uncertainties around Federal Reserve policy affecting risk appetites.

ETF Flows and Market Sentiment

  • There have been significant outflows from US spot BTC ETFs, reversing positive trends seen earlier in 2025.
  • Options market volatility has increased, with the $100,000 level acting as a psychological barrier.
  • Stabilization of ETF flows could improve market sentiment if no new macroeconomic shocks occur.

On the macroeconomic front, while supportive, the environment is clouded by a government shutdown in Washington. The Federal Reserve's recent cautious stance on interest rate cuts may contribute to maintaining a firm dollar and tight credit conditions.

For a sustainable Bitcoin rally, a reversal in ETF outflows and renewed confidence in risk assets are deemed necessary by CryptoQuant.
