A cryptocurrency analyst who previously predicted Bitcoin would reach $125,000 has now issued a bearish outlook for the summer months. The analyst cited Bitcoin's failure to break key resistance levels during the 2025 rally, weakening momentum indicators, and bearish divergences as reasons for the forecast.
Bitcoin advocate Scott Melker stated that investors are increasingly buying Bitcoin in advance of expected purchases linked to Strategy's capital raises and preferred-share programs. Melker added that if the programs remain popular, they could create a self-reinforcing cycle of demand. The reports come as cryptocurrency markets continue to experience volatility following earlier gains in 2025.
