Bloomberg Intelligence senior macro strategist Mike McGlone is warning that Bitcoin (BTC) is facing mounting resistance at one key level.

McGlone says that changing macroeconomic conditions and exceptions that the Fed will cut rates less than previously thought in 2025 may prevent Bitcoin from flipping the $100,000 resistance level into support any time soon.

“Can Bitcoin breach $100,000? Model headwinds rising: Bitcoin peaked at $108,000 on December 17th, the day before the Federal Reserve eased, and our model might help determine what to look for in 2025.

“Bitcoin strategic reserve dependency in 2025? Bitcoin may need to stay above the $100,000 threshold achieved in 2024 to show risk-asset stabilization. My bias is last year’s launch of US exchange-traded funds, Bitcoin halving, record-setting stock market and re-election of convert turned zealot, [US President-elect Donald] Trump, may be about as good as it gets for stretched speculative digital assets.”
