5 Signs That Bitcoin Is About to Rise Again This Year

In a blog post on Tuesday, the investment director of the company that issues the Bitcoin ETF at the institutional level wrote: "Two years ago, Bitwise clients typically allocated about 1% of their investment portfolio to bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets, a sum they could easily afford to lose." But he has noticed a big change in the past 24 months: "In today's environment, that's a different story. We often see an allocation of 3%. As many places around the world awaken to the significant risk reduction that we've seen in bitcoin, I think you'll see that number increase to 5% and beyond." The investment star of ABC's "Shark Tank" Kevin O'Leary has followed this exact trajectory to achieve massive profits from his Bitcoin investment. The only thing is, he got ahead of the curve many years ago. O'Leary allocated 3% of his portfolio to BTC in 2021. A year later, he increased this percentage to 5%. Below are five signal factors driving Bitcoin's price growth in 2025.

1. BTC Bullish Continuation Flag Pattern After adjusting from the historical high of 109,000 dollars on January 20, the price of Bitcoin has increased over 14 days since March 10, from 78,500 dollars to 87,450 dollars on March 25, increasing by 12%. This represents a decisive breakthrough, confirming the bearish flag pattern that BTC has exhibited during the correction. This bullish cryptocurrency chart pattern often signals the continuation of the upward trend. According to Investopedia, here are some of the most reliable chart signals that traders use in markets such as cryptocurrency and stocks: "These patterns are among the most reliable continuation patterns that traders use because they create a setup to engage in an existing trend and are poised to continue." This pattern is more reliable as a bullish signal if the daily trading volume chart aligns with the price, forming a descending diamond shape that resembles a flag waving in the wind. In this case, the trading volume of Bitcoin matches the consolidation price channel. Therefore, this is a quite classic example of this bullish signal. Meanwhile, as the price of Bitcoin rises sharply and recovers more confidently, the technical indicators for BTC from the 10-day moving average to the 200-day moving average have all shifted to a Strong Buy recommendation.
2. Bitcoin Price Soars After Trump's Tariff Move In addition to the decisive breakthrough of Bitcoin in March from the 50-day downward flag channel in a strong upward trend lasting 16 months, there was also a change in tariffs by President Donald Trump in March. The market rallied as Trump eased his stance on import tariffs. Previously, cryptocurrency prices had fallen along with stocks in February during a news cycle focused heavily on tariffs and rumors of more taxes. But the price of Bitcoin began to recover a few days after Trump suspended tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada. The price rose again on March 24 and 25 after reports that the White House was about to significantly narrow the agenda on tariffs. Instead of applying broad tariffs on major trading partners, Trump will focus tariffs on a more targeted plan aimed at hitting countries with the most severe trade imbalances with the United States. BTC continued to rise on March 26 as Trump confirmed a more lenient stance on tariffs in an interview: "I may be more forgiving than retaliating, because if I retaliate, everyone will find it very difficult." These convergences signal that the decline of cryptocurrencies in February was primarily due to concerns about global tariffs rather than a reversal of Bitcoin's strong upward trend that has lasted for 28 months since December 2022.
3. The Bitcoin ETFs of Wall Street Are Making a Strong Comeback Another positive signal indicating that the Bitcoin trend will continue is the strong return of capital flowing into Bitcoin ETFs for several consecutive days starting from March 14. On St. Patrick's Day (, March 30, 1928374656574839201, the inflow of funds was very strong, with the total purchase value of Bitcoin ETFs by Wall Street investors reaching a quarter of a billion dollars. The next day, the inflow of funds exceeded 200 billion dollars. Wall Street is actually more cautious in trading BTC compared to the optimistic Internet group of tech futurists, progressive ideologically-driven politicians, and laptop capitalists caught up in the investment profits )ROI( of the cryptocurrency market. Therefore, the return of institutional groups in purchasing cryptocurrency ETFs through issuance entities like BlackRock, Fidelity, and VanEck may represent another bullish momentum that will support Bitcoin's price growth further in the next quarter of 2025.
4. Social Sentiment Score Turns Positive

When these bullish indicators appear for Bitcoin's price increase, social sentiment shifts from FUD )fear, uncertainty, and doubt( to FOMO )fear of missing out(. The blockchain research company Santiment reported on March 24 that the positive sentiment towards Bitcoin has reached its highest price increase in 6 weeks. Santiment stated in a post on app X: "Social media comments are becoming quite positive, indicating that many people expect this price increase to continue." In addition to these signals, they may be encouraged by the Bitcoin whale group that purchased 200,000 BTC over a one-month period in March. 5. The White House Launches Gold Sale to Buy Bitcoin Trump and the cryptocurrency sector got married last year during his historic presidential re-election campaign. In the whirlwind of the first 65 days in office, it seems that the honeymoon is not over yet. The president and those he has appointed continue to provide strong assurances regarding the transparency and legal fairness of the cryptocurrency industry, while also taking serious steps towards holding a large portion of the 21 million Bitcoins that will be mined and retained as reserves for the government and citizens of the United States. However, in a shocking turn of events, at the end of March, a cryptocurrency official from the White House suggested that the government could sell gold from the official reserves to buy BTC with the proceeds. This is another reminder that Bitcoin is not a passing fad on the Internet, as many have pointed out over the years. The acceptance by the U.S. government signals a major shift in the future outlook for BTC and supports the strong secular growth trend for many years and decades. In addition, in the near future, cryptocurrencies are likely to continue to receive price support this year thanks to further developments in the U.S. federal policy agenda.
