Historically, Bitcoin has delivered remarkable returns in the December following U.S. presidential elections. During the last two cycles, the cryptocurrency gained 30% and 46%, respectively.
If this pattern repeats, Bitcoin could end the year trading between $125,000 and $140,000.

Recent market activity supports bullish sentiment. Over the past 72 hours, more than 55,000 BTC—worth an estimated $5.34 billion—have been withdrawn from exchanges.
This suggests strong accumulation by investors, typically a positive sign for price momentum.

However, long-term Bitcoin holders have also been taking profits as prices climbed from $62,000 to $99,000.
While this might seem bearish, it’s important to note that profit-taking is a hallmark of every bull market. Historically, such activity has not prevented further upward movement in Bitcoin’s price.
Long-term #Bitcoin $BTC holders have been booking profits as prices rose from $62,000 to $99,000, but this shouldn’t be a reason to turn bearish and short the corn!
Notice that in every bull market, that’s what long-term holders always do: they book profits! pic.twitter.com/IHMcWpIbe5

While some investors are booking profits and ETFs show inconsistent inflows, the broader market dynamics—coupled with historical trends—point toward potential year-end gains for Bitcoin. As always, market participants should remain cautious and consider the cyclical nature of both profit-taking and accumulation during bull runs.
