There is something that is starting to change in the market… and not everyone is seeing it.
One of the major banks in the United States, Citigroup, has just adjusted its projections for the crypto market.
And while they still see growth, the message is clear:
👉 the optimism is no longer the same.
📉 New targets, same caution
The bank has reduced its expectations to 12 months:
Bitcoin now targets $112,000
Ethereum drops to $3,175
Before, the figures were much higher.
But watch out… this does not mean that the market is dead.
It means that expectations are cooling.
🏛️ The real problem: politics
Here we are not just talking about charts.
The brake comes from the United States, specifically from the regulatory field.
Although proposals like the CLARITY Act have advanced in some stages, the stagnation in the Senate is generating uncertainty.
And when there are no clear rules between agencies like the SEC and the CFTC, something very simple happens:
💰 big money thinks twice before entering.
📊 ETF: less momentum than expected
Another key point is the flow of capital.
Expectations about money entering the ETFs have also been adjusted downwards:
around $10 billion for BTC
around $2.5 billion for ETH
They remain important figures...
but they no longer have the same explosive effect that many expected after the halving.
⚠️ Ethereum under pressure
This is where the analysis gets more interesting.
Ethereum is facing a key problem:
👉 network activity weaker than expected
And that directly weighs on the price.
Even so, not everything is negative.
Narratives like:
tokenization of assets (RWA)
growth of stablecoins
could once again boost the ecosystem if they gain strength.
🚨 The two scenarios you should keep in mind
The market right now is divided between two paths:
📈 Bullish scenario:
If institutional adoption accelerates, Bitcoin could approach $165,000.
📉 Bearish scenario:
If the macro environment complicates, the price could fall towards the $58,000 zone.
🧠 My reading
This is not the end of the market.
It's a pause.
A moment where the hype decreases... and reality comes in.
This is where two types of people separate:
those who react to fear
those who understand the context
💬 Question for the community
Are we facing a simple market slowdown...
or at the beginning of a more complex phase for cryptocurrencies?
