Cryptocurrency valuations showed signs of recovery this week as investors warmed up to digital assets following a significant market downturn. The weekend of October 10 saw a historic $19 billion liquidation event that brought Bitcoin’s price down to a four-month low of $104,000. Despite the volatility, this crash is being viewed by some experts as a prime buying opportunity that could propel Bitcoin to new heights. Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research, forecasts Bitcoin reaching $200,000 by the end of 2025, underscoring confidence in a strong market rebound. However, the lack of inflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues to suppress upward momentum, contributing to what may become Bitcoin’s worst October since 2013. Kendrick remains optimistic, emphasizing that even with ongoing geopolitical tensions and tariff concerns, Bitcoin’s price could surpass $150,000 if the Federal Reserve continues to lower interest rates. This outlook reflects the belief that the recent liquidation event may serve as a catalyst for one of the most notable rallies in the digital asset’s history.
