Bloomberg analysts: Bitcoin's pullback this year is normal volatility, and it still maintains an average annual growth rate of about 50%.

According to an article by Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, Bitcoin's performance this year is largely a natural pullback from last year's exceptionally strong surge. Bitcoin rose 122% in 2024, roughly five times the growth of other assets. Therefore, even if it trades sideways or experiences a slight correction in 2025, as long as it maintains an average annual gain of around 50%, this "cooling-off period" is normal. He stated that the market has overreacted to Bitcoin's pullback, and similar situations are quite common in traditional assets such as stocks.
