Bitcoin surged to $85,000 on December 26, 2025, as gold reached a record high of $4,553. Analyst Crypto Tice highlighted that Bitcoin's current price structure resembles gold's pattern prior to its 2023 breakout. Forecasts suggest Bitcoin could surpass $200,000 if it breaks above $90,000, while a decline below $80,000–$85,000 could undermine the bullish sentiment.
