The prevailing cryptocurrency bloodbath of late February 2025 ensured that Bitcoin (BTC) collapsed to $81,386 – its lowest level since November 2024, if the brief dip below $80,000 is ignored.
Though not directly arising from a major setback within the industry itself – on the contrary, digital assets are, at press time, receiving strong regulatory tailwinds as the SEC has been steadily dropping its cases against various companies – the correction caused some uncertainty about whether the bull market is over.
Seeking to discover if investors should hold onto their Bitcoin or sell while it is still relatively expensive, Finbold consulted the advanced artificial intelligence (AI) of OpenAI’s top ChatGPT-4o model about where BTC will stand on December 31, 2025.

ChatGPT sets Bitcoin price target for December 31, 2025
Having assessed the situation, ChatGPT quickly concluded that the current bloodbath is the result of high macroeconomic uncertainty arising from trade war fears, inflation anxiety, and interest rate uncertainty.
Indeed, the AI opined that most other important factors, such as institutional adoption and the regulatory climate, remain bullish, while historical post-halving cycles allow for strong corrections before the top arrives.
Under the circumstances, ChatGPT demonstrated its confidence that Bitcoin would continue performing well in the long run and set its December 31, 2025, price target at $190,000 – 133.46% above the press time price.
If the AI is correct, a $1,000 investment made now would appreciate to $2,334.60, meaning the trader would enjoy a $1,334.60 profit.
ChatGPT, Bitcoin, and the calendar issue
Still, the model’s assessment was not entirely without confusion or error. When asked to confirm it considers the ongoing bloodbath to be a temporary setback, it mixed up dates.
According to ChatGPT’s analysis, corrections such as the one observable in late February are commonplace in the month leading up to Bitcoin halvings.
When cautioned to verify the dates and realizing the nearest halving is not two months in the future but ten months in the past, the AI remained adamant about its price target, claiming it is in line with the precedent of cycle tops arriving 12 to 18 months after the fact.
How long can the Bitcoin downturn last?
Though ChatGPT’s long-term bullishness falls in line with numerous analyst predictions and is even conservative compared to the highest forecasts provided by industry experts who see a rally above $800,000 as plausible, it fails to address just how low the coin could fall before recovering.
Technical analysis (TA), on the other hand, offers some insights and indicates that BTC’s likely bottom will be somewhere in the $76,000 to $78,000 range, as Finbold reported on February 28.
Furthermore, $76,200 appears to be a particularly likely low point for the ongoing correction, with it being identified as a target throughout the downturn via the use of the 50-week exponential moving average (1W50EMA).
