Early in the first quarter, the bears grabbed control of Bitcoin, driving down the court and hitting $88,614.79. The bears and the bulls went back and forth, with the bears carrying the momentum into the second quarter. Approaching the half, they made another drive down the court, reaching $86,141.80.

The Bulls found their game, driving the road upcourt to close the half at $87,592.66.

The Bears were motivated coming off the bench to start the third quarter but could only manage to drive down the court to $86,653.21.

From that point on, it was the bull’s game to lose, and they were not in a losing mood. By the mid-point of the third quarter, they had sustained a run to $88,916.56.

The bears fought valiantly but could not overcome the bull’s tenaciousness. February 25, 2025, closed with Bitcoin around 3% lower than it started the day.
