66% of Americans Expect Stock Market to Rise in 2025, But Bitcoin May Face Volatility Amid Global Tensions

A recent survey reveals that two-thirds of Americans expect the stock market to rise in 2025.

However, on Monday, Cointelegraph reported growing concerns about intensifying political conflicts within the U.S. and potential international conflicts.

Gallup surveyed 100,000 individuals from December 4 to 15, 2024. As a result, 66% of respondents anticipated stock market growth this year, a 30% increase from 2023.

This bullish sentiment could also affect the cryptocurrency market. Historically, the stock market’s continued rise often correlates with increased risk appetite among investors, potentially fueling a Bitcoin rally.

However, Bitcoin may suffer a bigger drop if there are more international disputes.

Bitcoin plunged about 8% within an hour following Iran’s retaliatory strike on Israel on April 13 last year. Similarly, during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine from February 23 to 24, 2022, the cryptocurrency plunged nearly 11%.
