Viewpoint: Bitcoin is expected to remain within a range in the near future, with $75,000 being the bull-bear line.

**December 2nd Update** Derek Lim, Research Director at crypto market maker Caladan, noted Bitcoin may continue trading in a range and consolidating between $83,000 and $95,000. Experts, however, maintain Bitcoin is currently in a bull market correction—not a full bear market—because, unlike previous cycle peaks, “we haven’t seen widespread frenzy or speculative excess.” Analyst Tim Sun added Bitcoin is unlikely to see a strong uptrend before the end of 2025; the more realistic scenario is it “focuses on building a bottom.” “As long as expectations for the Fed’s 2026 loose policy aren’t fully dashed, this phase is more likely a bottoming consolidation than a new long-term bear market,” Sun said. “But if Bitcoin drops below $75,000, this prediction is invalid and could lead to a steeper drop.” *Source: Decrypt*
