Santana thinks Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by the year 2025. The ongoing correction doesn’t stop the analyst from being so optimistic about the long-term prospects for the top crypto.
At the same time, he warns that this downtrend is not over yet and investors should expect some turbulence before they see a more sustained uptrend.
Market sentiment and short-term prospects
Bitcoin is currently 44% below its estimated value for next month, according to the latest forecast. However, a short-term upward trend can be seen in the next seven days. Bitcoin is predicted to rise 83% in three months, showing signs of recovery after its poor performance of late.
Santana believes that although the price movement for Bitcoin will not be rapid, it would stabilize the market after surviving swings and fluctuations.
Bitcoin will make relatively slow progress through the rest of 2024, and this would give altcoins room to outperform BTC in the meantime. That said, altcoins could also deliver bigger returns for investors who look beyond Bitcoin’s gradual recovery once the market enters the accumulation phase late in the year.
Other coins to surpass Bitcoin?
While Bitcoin could still remain the top cryptocurrency, some altcoins like Ethereum could shine in the not-too-distant future. However, it does have an advantage if certain market conditions work in its favor.
This could open up an opportunity for other cryptocurrencies to potentially outperform Bitcoin as investors begin to diversify their portfolios.

According to Santana, this is not a sudden jump, but rather an upward trend due to improving market conditions and institutional interest.
A new all-time high at the end of 2025 will most likely be between $150,000 and $220,000, depending on factors such as inflation and market sentiment.
While the long-term outlook is favorable, Santana urges caution regarding the near future as volatility is still high and this current market slump has not yet fully ended.
