Bitcoin’s $100,000 year-end hope divides analysts as inflation clouds outlook

Analysts are divided on whether Bitcoin can reach $100,000 by year-end, with persistent inflation and uncertainty over interest rates clouding the outlook. Bullish forecasts point to continued demand and favorable market conditions, while more cautious views warn that inflation could delay monetary easing and weigh on risk assets. The split underscores that Bitcoin’s near-term path depends heavily on macroeconomic data and policy expectations, making the $100,000 target uncertain rather than a consensus forecast.
