Citigroup: Bitcoin Could Surge to $143,000 in the Next Year

2025.12.20 09:41:18

December 20th: Amid recent Bitcoin price declines, Citigroup’s 12-month benchmark target for the cryptocurrency is $143,000—representing a roughly 62% jump from its current price of $88,000. In a joint report, Citi analysts Alex Saunders, Dirk Willer, and Vinh Vo note $70,000 is a key support level for Bitcoin. Buoyed by renewed ETF demand and bullish market sentiment, the token could see a sharp rally. However, a bearish scenario—amid a global economic recession—sees Bitcoin potentially dropping to $78,500. Conversely, an optimistic scenario—fueled by stronger investor demand—projects Bitcoin could climb to $189,000. (Source: CoinDesk)
