In January 2025, the cryptocurrency market proved that it can still move rapidly like in the fourth quarter of the previous year. Bitcoin (BTC) played a unique role in this — its price fell below $90,000 this week and today reached $108,800, setting a new historical record.
Considering that memecoins have a short lifespan, many traders are trying to understand the future price changes of the main cryptocurrency. Five artificial intelligence-based models were tasked with predicting the BTC price for the period from January 20 to February 4.
Four advanced models predicted a price decline. ChatGPT-4o mini provided the most pessimistic forecast, analyzing the relative strength index (RSI) and the simple moving average (SMA), estimating that the BTC price would drop by 9.4% to around $98,000 at the beginning of February. The standard ChatGPT-4o was slightly more optimistic, predicting a 5.24% decrease and a price of $102,500. The forecasts from Claude 3 Opus and Grok 2 Vision models were also cautious: the former estimated a 3.04% decline ($104,882), while the latter predicted a 2.93% drop ($105,000).
Claude 3.5 Sonnet chose its own path, forecasting that the Bitcoin price would set a new record at the beginning of February, reaching $112,500, which is an increase of 4.01% from the January 20 situation.
There is some logic in the predictions of artificial intelligence models, as a short-term decline is typically observed after sharp price fluctuations.
