In February 2025, Bitcoin continued its volatile journey that began with record highs in January. The price initially soared to $109,000, then dropped 1.11% in the last 24 hours, reaching $96,148. Experts are seeking reasons for the dip and evaluating future prospects.
Reasons for Bitcoin's February Decline
Analysts point out several key factors contributing to the decline. Political events such as the US-China tariff war led to a 9% drop at the start of February. Despite optimism from Bitcoin reserve rumors, the lack of action led to market cooling. Additionally, new pro-crypto initiatives from the US Senate have yet to produce results. The post-halving cycle didn't bring the expected price surge, causing investor frustration. Slow regulatory progress added to market uncertainty.
Policy Delays and Meme Influence
Political moves like Trump's pro-crypto executive orders initially raised market hope but haven't led to price boosts yet. Their impact will likely appear after significant regulatory reforms. Meanwhile, meme coins have caught the spotlight again. Despite Kanye West's plans for his meme coin sounding exciting, the meme market suffers in 2025, evidenced by drastic price crashes.
Is There Hope for Recovery?
Despite the recent dip, there's hope for Bitcoin's recovery in the near future. Analysts suggest if history repeats, prices could rise 40%, reaching $130,000–$150,000. Significant ETF inflows and a potential 'golden cross' above $106,000 could also spur growth.
Bitcoin's decline in February has raised concerns among investors, but experts remain hopeful for recovery given potential trends and market events. However, ongoing slow regulation and meme coin volatility will continue to pressure the market.
