Analysts predict Bitcoin (BTC) will likely trade sideways between $85,000 and $95,000 until the end of the year. This projection stems from anticipated low liquidity during December, limiting significant upward movement. Wincent's Paul Howard suggests that without compelling macroeconomic factors, Bitcoin's price could stagnate. This environment could be beneficial for alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins), potentially leading to increased investment in those assets. Looking ahead, the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision is a key event to watch. Should the BOJ maintain its current rates, it could stimulate demand for risk assets, positively impacting Bitcoin, gold, and stocks. Investors are advised to monitor these macroeconomic indicators for potential shifts in market dynamics. ```
