This week to determine BTC's year-end direction, says QCP Capital

Whether Bitcoin can close out 2025 on a positive note will be determined this week, according to an analysis from QCP Capital. The firm noted that a series of Asia-driven headwinds, including Japan's interest rate hike, thinning market liquidity, and potential sell-off risk from Strategy, have triggered a bearish trend, CoinDesk reports. QCP Capital explained that the key will be whether BTC can defend its previous lows. The firm added that trends related to liquidity and Strategy will ultimately determine if the cryptocurrency finishes the year on a bullish or bearish note.
