Bitcoin and Ethereum Rally Seen Only ‘Halfway’ as Traders Eye Year-End Surge

Bitcoin and Ethereum are defying September’s bearish reputation, posting gains of 6% and 4% this month.

Analysts say the rally may only be halfway through, with options data showing bullish bets outweighing bearish ones by a wide margin. Sean Dawson of Derive noted that short-term volatility is possible, but supportive macro factors — including expectations of multiple U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025 — are setting the stage for a strong year-end push.

Market data suggests a 40% chance Ethereum finishes 2025 above $5,000 and a 20% chance it tops $6,000. For Bitcoin, the probability of hitting $125,000 or more by year-end sits at 37%. With Polymarket odds of three Fed cuts nearly doubling in two weeks, investors are increasingly positioning risk assets like crypto for another leg higher despite seasonal turbulence.
