Crypto Market’s Q4 Disappointment: Why Predictions Fell Short

Expectations for a crypto renaissance in Q4 2025 were high, but Bitcoin has instead suffered a significant 24% decline. Prominent predictions from figures like Eric Trump, Michael Saylor, and Tom Lee have failed to materialize as the market veered into a correction. Some analysts see this as a multi-year correction period, while others argue for continued long-term bullish trends despite the recent setbacks. The anticipated fourth quarter surge has been replaced by a reality far different from the optimistic headlines that dominated earlier in the year. 2025’s final quarter was supposed to mark crypto’s historic resurgence, but instead, it delivered a starkly different outcome, with Bitcoin crashing hard. From Eric Trump’s bold predictions to those of Michael Saylor and Tom Lee, Q4 has been marked by surprises, though not the kind many expected.
