In recent updates from major financial institutions, expectations for Bitcoin and Ether have been reshaped—stoking renewed optimism in the crypto space.
Citigroup has raised its year-end price target for Ethereum to $4,500, citing strong inflows from ETFs and corporate digital treasuries. Meanwhile, the bank has slightly reduced its Bitcoin outlook, adjusting the target downward from $135,000 to $132,000, pointing to macro factors like a stronger U.S. dollar and lower gold prices.
On the technical front, Bitcoin recently broke above the $121,000 level—an important resistance zone—which some analysts believe could spark further upside toward $125,000–$131,000 if momentum continues. Meanwhile, Ethereum is showing signs of accumulation: exchange reserves are hitting multiyear lows and network activity has been steadily rising.
If these forecasts play out, 2025 could end with Bitcoin hovering around $121K–$132K and Ethereum pushing upward toward $4.5K—highlighting institutional confidence amid evolving crypto market dynamics.
