According to CoinDesk, the price of bitcoin has recently rallied to around $88,000, but analysts hardly see this as a meaningful turning point. According to CoinGlass data, bitcoin has fallen by more than 22% in the fourth quarter, making 2025 one of the weakest end-of-year performances outside of a major bear market.
Bitcoin is still down about 30% from its 2025 peak and trading below where it was at the start of the year. "The crypto market is trying to grow, but it's not a recovery yet," said Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, noting that short-term momentum can be misleading. While the total crypto market cap is back above $3 trillion, analysts warn that the rally reflects exhaustion rather than renewed confidence.
The Fear and Greed index has climbed to 24, suggesting traders may be easing from extreme pessimism but have yet to regain their appetite for risk. Markets remain vulnerable to sharp reversals, especially during US trading hours.
