Bitcoin is trading close to its $142,000 fair value according to the power law model, positioning the asset for potential upside. Long-term holders and miners continue accumulating despite recent volatility, while institutional forecasts remain mixed with end-2025 projections ranging from $120,000 to $180,000.

Bitcoin's market share has fallen 5.13% since May to 59.90%, according to TradingView data.

Bitcoin's current bull run could conclude by late 2025, analyst Benjamin Cowen says, drawing on historical four-year cycles that peaked after U.S. presidential elections in 2013, 2017, and 2021.

Cowen sees the 50-week moving average near $100,000 as a key threshold that, if broken, would signal the bull phase is ending.
