Bitcoin (BTC) is starting to recover following the brief slump that pushed it below $84,000 on Monday, December 1, its weakest level since April. However, the sentiment remains fragile.
The crypto market is eagerly awaiting the Federal Reserve’s December 10 policy decision, as the cryptocurrency is likely to remain a daily benchmark for those still optimistic about a potential lift by the end of the year.
To see whether the optimism is justified, Finbold’s AI prediction agent conducted an in-depth technical analysis of Bitcoin and employed three leading large language models (LLMs) to forecast its price by December 31.
AI predicts BTC price for end of 2025
Overall, Finbold’s AI prediction agent suggests that the leading cryptocurrency is indeed up for a few weeks of growth. Namely, the combined forecast from ChatGPT, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 2.5 Flash has put the average year-end Bitcoin price target at $95,333, implying a solid 7.74% gain from the current price of $88,483.
However, a closer look reveals a more complex picture, as the three large language models produced markedly different Bitcoin price forecasts. Claude Sonnet 4 predicts a surge of 29.97%, which would send BTC back to $115,000 by December 31.
On the other hand, ChatGPT and Gemini 2.5 Flash were not at all bullish, anticipating drops of 3.94% and 2.81%, respectively, which would imply a price in the $85,000–$86,000 range.
The overall 7.74% upside is thus heavily influenced by Claude Sonnet 4’s aggressive estimate, which is also reflected in its analysis of XRP price targets for December 31. As such, the number underscores the wide divergence among AI-driven predictions in a shaky market.
In other words, while the blended outlook leans bullish, the spread between individual forecasts highlights lingering uncertainty touched on above. Still, it can be noted that some human analysts are also quite upbeat about “digital gold’s” short-term prospects, as Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, for example, has argued that a new all-time high is possible as early as January.
