BTC Slides: Can it Hold $85K or Head to $70K?

Strategy poured nearly $1 billion into Bitcoin for a second consecutive week, continuing to add to its position as crypto prices pulled back. The pioneer of the “digital asset treasury” strategy saw its shares fall more than 8% on Monday, closing at $162.08 in New York. Bitcoin at one point slid 3.7% to $85,171, still down about 30% from its early-October record high of $126,000. Can Bitcoin hold key support levels this week? Will MSTR test the $150 level again? Would you stay firmly invested?

KevinChen:Top 10 Global Financial Market Predictions for 2026

The year 2025, which is drawing to a close, saw many unexpected changes in the global financial markets. For example, $Gold - main 2602(GCmain)$ surged, European stock markets outperformed US stocks, and cryptocurrencies like $Bitcoin(BTC.USD.CC)$ experienced significant declines.2025 was also the year I spent the most time investing and researching in global markets.

Bitcoin's Brutal Dip: $85K Fortress or Freefall to $70K Abyss? 😱📉
🚨🚨🚨Today, December 16, 2025, markets are in a definitive "risk-off" mood. Global equities and cryptocurrencies are facing significant pressure as investors pull back ahead of critical U.S. economic data and navigate a cooling "AI trade." 📉 Stock Market Analysis The general sentiment is one of caution and consolidation. Major indices are sliding as investors wait for fresh catalysts and clarity on trade policies.  * U.S. Markets: Wall Street is coming off a rough patch. Tech and AI-heavy stocks (like Nvidia and Broadcom) have faced sharp corrections recently as investors question whether AI profits justify current valuations. The Dow Jones hovered around 48,446, showing minor declines as the "AI bubble" narrative gains steam.  * Asian Markets: It was a "sea of red" today. Japan's

For: BTC Drops to $90K: Dip Before the Moon or Trend Shift? Title: Bitcoin at $90K: A Healthy Pullback in a Macro Uptrend Bitcoin's pullback post-Powell is a classic liquidity-driven move. With a "neutral, non-committal" Fed, the short-term catalyst of immediate rate cuts was removed, prompting profit-taking. Dip or Shift? This looks like a healthy dip within a bull market, not a trend reversal. Key reasons: 1. On-Chain Health: Long-term holder supply remains high (conviction is strong), and exchange reserves are low (not mass selling for distribution). 2. Macro Setup Unchanged: The broader trend toward monetary easing, fiscal deficits, and institutional adoption via ETFs has not reversed. 3. Technical Support: The $85K-$90K zone represents a key prior resistance-turned-support area and th

₿ BTC at $90K: Controlled Reset or Trend Break? Bitcoin didn’t fall because the story changed. It fell because expectations got ahead of reality. Powell delivered exactly what he always does — ambiguity 🎙️ No cuts. No promises. No panic. And that was enough to pull the rug from leveraged optimism. 📉 BTC retreats to $90,000 📉 ETH, XRP, DOGE slide in sync 📉 Risk cools — but doesn’t crack This wasn’t fear. This was positioning getting disciplined. ⸻ 🧠 Macro Reality Check Let’s separate noise from structure. • Liquidity is still broadly supportive • Financial conditions haven’t tightened materially • The Fed isn’t fighting growth — it’s managing expectations Markets weren’t punished for being wrong. They were punished for being early. ⸻ ⚔️ Why $90K Matters More Than It Looks $90K isn’t just a

Fed Moves May Be Fully Priced In: A Technical Arbitrage Study of Three Major Futures Contracts

As possibly the most critical week toward year-end, the Fed’s 25‑basis‑point rate cut this week is already common knowledge. This means the market now needs new information to trigger meaningful volatility. Some believe Chair Powell may announce a bond‑buying program, while others expect a highly dovish outlook at the press conference. However, given that Powell is set to step down in May next year, doing nothing may actually be the best option.​From recent market behavior, even though monetary policy no longer dominates as it once did, investors still generally accept the logic that rate cuts equal easier financial conditions, which in turn are positive for markets. Following this line of reasoning, announcing Treasury purchases or signaling a more dovish path for next year would both be

BTC Back Above 90K and Crypto Equities Are Waking Up. Is 100K Still on the Table for 2025?

The BTC rebound has created a clean risk-on ripple across the crypto equity basket, and the moves in BMNR, CRCL and MSTR hint that positioning might have reached exhaustion on the downside. What matters now is the path of liquidity. If BTC holds above the 89K to 92K range, the next impulse zone opens toward 97K, with a potential late December test of 100K if volatility compresses. BMNR continues to trade as a leveraged beta play to BTC strength. A break above its recent lower-high structure points to 40 to 45 in a squeeze scenario. CRCL is still one of the cleanest AI x crypto infrastructure names. If BTC pushes for 95K, CRCL could retest the 12 to 14 zone as funding flows rotate back into high convexity names. MSTR remains the institutional torque for BTC. As long as BTC sustains higher l

How the BoJ’s Policy Shift Sparked Bitcoin’s Selloff and a Gold–Silver Surge?What Strategy Fits Now

This week, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda delivered his clearest signal so far that the BoJ is likely to raise rates this month. He indicated that the policy board may lift rates soon and specifically emphasized the possibility of taking action at the December BoJ meeting. At the same time, both the Finance Minister and the Economic and Growth Strategy Minister refrained from expressing any opposition, and this shift in stance has driven the implied probability of a December hike in Japan’s interest-rate derivatives market up to more than 80 percent at one point, making it almost a foregone conclusion.More importantly, expectations for this BoJ hike are quietly reshaping the global liquidity landscape and have a high likelihood of triggering broad, cross‑asset volatility in the near ter

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $MARA Holdings(MARA)$ 📊 Momentum Overview Bitcoin’s thrust back above $91k arrived exactly as holiday liquidity thinned, and that combination produced the kind of volatility snap I pay close attention to. The move was fast, corrective, and mechanically triggered after price breached the lower weekly Bollinger band near $91.5k. Bitcoin had dropped more than two standard deviations below the weekly mean, and historically, this type of band violation has led to a mean reversion reaction roughly 62% of the time. Two prior examples of this include the 2017 October tag, which recovered 28%, and the 2021 March tag, which reco

Bitcoin Showing Bullish Signals. Time To Plan For Opportunities?

Bitcoin has regained momentum after a sharp correction which investors seen in the past two weeks, now price is pushing above $92,000. This has sparked renewed interest among investors and the broader financial markets. Has Bitcoin bottomed, and could this be the start of a new bull run? Short-term price action: Bitcoin breaking back above key psychological and technical levels (around $90K–$92K) suggests that sellers may be losing control and buyers are stepping in — overcoming levels that were resistance/supply zones earlier. Bullish signals include: ✅ BTC holding above key support zones and breaking consolidation ranges (seen in recent technical analysis). ✅ Broad crypto market cap rising with BTC gains. ✅ New institutional inflows and ETF developments supporting demand (more below).

Bitcoin's Wild Ride: Navigating the Storm

🌟🌟🌟The crypto market has hit a wall recently.    In early December , Bitcoin plunged below USD 84,000, erasing billions in value and shaking investor confidence.  For those who watched with hope , this sell off is heart wrenching , a harsh reminder of the market 's brutal volatility. What happened? A perfect storm of macroeconomic jitters and negative sentiments sent investors fleeing to safe harbours. Worries about inflation and central bank policies combined with a risk off attitude, led to forced liquidations and a downward spiral. Adding salt to the wound, bad news from a stablecoin downgrade to a DeFi hack , further eroded trust. Even institutional players felt the burn.  $Strategy(MSTR)$
