Bitcoin continues to aim for an impressive target of $200,000 by year-end, despite a tumultuous recent market crash that saw a staggering liquidation of $19 billion. This downturn is primarily attributed to a drop in ETF purchases, hindering Bitcoin’s overall growth potential.

Investors are starting to sense that opportunities may arise from the recent corrections. Prominent analyst Geoff Kendrick, who heads digital assets research at Standard Chartered, sees this as a potential catalyst for Bitcoin’s surge, even with a backdrop of tariff uncertainties introduced by US President Donald Trump.

Kendrick insists, “My official forecast is $200,000 by the end of the year,” reinforcing confidence in a market recovery despite volatility.
