Bitcoin price stabilized near $103,000 on Wednesday, after Galaxy Digital lowered its 2025 price forecast from $185,000 to $120,000, citing a high volume of liquidations of leveraged positions, heavy selling by whales (major investors) exceeding 400,000 coins, in addition to decreasing liquidity in the markets.
Despite this adjustment, Galaxy has maintained a long-term bullish stance, citing increased institutional investment and the growth of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as key drivers of the next bull cycle.
Galaxy lowers expectations and maintains positive outlook
On this subject, Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy, said that Bitcoin is currently going through what he described as a “maturity phase” characterized by more gradual and stable growth, and he added that price stability above the $100,000 level keeps the general bull market structure intact.
On a related note, last month, markets experienced a sudden setback worth $20 billion, which temporarily caused the price of Bitcoin to fall below the $100,000 level, raising fears of a market decline. However, analysts pointed out that the 21% decline is in line with usual cyclical correction patterns.
Alex Thorne reiterated that Galaxy still maintains its confidence in Bitcoin’s strong foundations, anticipating a price recovery as markets stabilize and institutional investment increases.
Japanese company Metaplanet expands its portfolio with a $100 million Bitcoin-linked loan.
Metaplanet Inc., the largest Japanese company holding Bitcoin, announced a new $100 million loan from its $500 million credit facility backed by the same currency, in a bid to expand its investments and finance its revenue-generating projects.
The loan represents just 3% of its total reserves of 30,823 Bitcoins, currently valued at $3.5 billion, highlighting its conservative approach to using leverage. The company will dedicate part of the funding to its growing foreign exchange revenue generation business, which reached 24.4 billion yen ($160 million) during the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 3.5 times year-on-year.
Thus, Metaplanet aspires to increase its stake to 210,000 BTC by 2027, thus confirming its long-term strategy of accumulation despite market turbulence.

This approach is consistent with the Swiss legislative framework consistent with the European Digital Asset Markets Regulation Act (MiCA), strengthening the country’s position as a European hub for Bitcoin adoption at an institutional level.
Bitcoin price forecast: first indicators of a trend reversal
Bitcoin price is stabilizing near $103,580 after losing some of its gains following its drop from $111,000 last week. The two-hour chart shows a falling wedge pattern, which is a technical pattern that often indicates decreasing selling pressure and the possibility of a bullish reversal. The formation of a bullish engulfing candle near $100,400 – the lower boundary of the pattern – indicates renewed buying interest.
Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rose from the 30 level to around 48, showing a clear bullish divergence. After the price regained its position above the 20-candle EMA, the breakout of the 50-candle EMA line at $104,200 appears to be a confirmation signal of a momentum shift to the upside.
An extended break above $106,300 (in line with the 200-bar EMA) could open a recovery path towards $111,000, while failure to hold $103,000 could see the price move back towards the $100,400-$97,600 range.
Commercial agreement details:
A bullish trade above $104,200 targeting $106,300 and $111,000 with a stop loss below $101,500.
Preview:
Despite short-term price pressures, Galaxy’s institutional expansion, Metaplanet’s thoughtful consolidation, as well as the growth of Swiss investment infrastructure, reinforce the view that Bitcoin’s long-term growth remains intact. It appears that the market is entering a temporary phase of relative stability in anticipation of another major move forward in light of growing institutional confidence.
Bitcoin Hyper-HYPER: Is this the next evolution of Bitcoin on the Solana blockchain?
Bitcoin Hyper represents a new phase in the Bitcoin Blockchain technical ecosystem, and while the Bitcoin Blockchain remains the benchmark for security, Bitcoin Hyper adds what it has always lacked: blazing speed that rivals the performance of the Solana Blockchain.
This project was created as the first layer 2 network dedicated to the Bitcoin blockchain powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), combining the stability of the Bitcoin blockchain with the speed of the Solana blockchain. The result: ultra-fast and inexpensive smart contracts, decentralized applications and even the creation of memes, all secured according to Bitcoin’s blockchain standards.
Additionally, the project has been audited by Coinsult and focuses on trust and ensuring scalability as adoption grows. Therefore, it is already the subject of great attention, since its subscription proceeds have exceeded $26 million at a price of only $0.013225 currently, before the next expected increase.
Finally, with the escalation of activity on the Bitcoin Blockchain and the growing demand for efficient Bitcoin-based applications, Bitcoin Hyper emerges as a link between two of the largest technical systems in the crypto sector. If the Bitcoin blockchain is the foundation, then Bitcoin Hyper’s mission is to make that foundation faster, more flexible, and more fun than ever before.
