A major international bank just cut its 2025 bitcoin forecast in half—now targeting $100K instead of the earlier projection. But here's the twist: they're calling this market phase 'just a cold breeze,' not a full-blown crypto winter. The institution maintains its bullish long-term outlook despite the near-term adjustment. What's driving this recalibration? Likely a mix of macro headwinds and recalibrated expectations following the post-halving dynamics. Still, keeping that six-figure target shows they haven't lost faith in BTC's trajectory. The 'cold breeze' framing matters—it suggests temporary cooling rather than a prolonged freeze. For those watching institutional sentiment, this is a measured pullback, not capitulation.

100K? Basically, it means institutions are panicking. This term "cold wind" is quite artistic, isn't it?

Just a cool breeze is fine, no need to talk about harsh winters, experts all say so.

Ironically, they still have the nerve to call a 50% drop a "cold breeze." That term is really just putting on an act. From 100K to 200K and then back to 100K, is this how institutions cycle through the market? Data shows that the last time they changed their tone like this, the liquidation rate hit 87%. Interesting—"bullish in the long run" paired with "short-term correction." I’ve heard this line way too many times. Objectively speaking, as long as they don’t dare say it’ll drop below 30K, it’s considered "still confident." Who does this logic actually fool? They said the same thing in 2018—"just a correction," "faith is still there." And then what happened? History just keeps repeating itself. Instead of guessing what institutions are thinking, it's better to see how much real money they've actually put in. Calling it a "cold breeze" sounds much nicer than just admitting "we got slapped in the face."
