Bitcoin’s Performance Amid Market Cycles and Institutional Interest

As of December 21, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) price is $88,746.29, with a market cap of $1.77 trillion, and market dominance at 59.03%, according to CoinMarketCap data. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin prices increased by 7.61% but decreased by 21.12% over 90 days.

Insights from Coincu Research Team suggest institutional interest in ETFs could boost long-term market support. Technological advancements and clearer regulatory guidance are anticipated to reduce current market uncertainties.

While I believe Bitcoin and the overall crypto market still have strong long-term upside potential, and liquidity-driven support is expected in 2026, there may still be some risks to digest in the first/second quarter of 2026. – Sean Farrell, Head of Digital Assets Strategy at Fundstrat, Fundstrat 2026 Crypto Outlook
