PANews reported on April 19 that according to Cointelegraph, macroeconomist Lyn Alden expects the price of Bitcoin to be higher than the current price of about $85,000 in 2025, but she said that if US President Trump had not announced tariffs in February, the price of Bitcoin would be much higher. However, she said that "massive liquidity release" may be the catalyst needed for Bitcoin to reach more optimistic goals, similar to the global economic cycle from 2003 to 2007. Although Alden said that Bitcoin is likely to return to the $100,000 price level before the end of the year, she emphasized that "down days" in the broader financial market will still pose a challenge to the asset, especially because Bitcoin is traded around the clock.
