BTC Drops to $90K: Dip Before the Moon or Trend Shift?

Bitcoin pulled back after Powell delivered a neutral, non-committal tone during the latest Fed meeting. Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin also moved lower across the board. Despite the dip, analysts say the long-term setup remains intact—with some even projecting Bitcoin could still surge to $100,000 if current macro conditions play out. Tom Lee added that Ethereum is currently trading like a “future option on the long-term narrative at a discount.” For now, Bitcoin has retreated toward the $90,000 level, leaving traders debating whether this is a buying opportunity or a warning signal.

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.

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.  $Strategy(MSTR)$

Bitcoin Just Cross $90K, Can It Stay Above It or Volatility Persists?

We saw Bitcoin crossing $90K, but the outflows on the total Bitcoin Spot ETF remains high, Global crypto ETPs see $1.9 billion in weekly outflows, adding to third-worst run since 2018, does it mean that Bitcoin could still face volatility and might goes below $90K? So in this article, we would like to examine what the current flows likely mean — and how investors can strategically position around BTC-related volatility, without overreacting to the headline outflows. Do Heavy Outflows Mean Bitcoin Must Fall Below $90K? Not necessarily — but they do increase the probability of short-term volatility. Here Is how to interpret the situation: ✔ Bitcoin at $90K + Large Outflows = A Divergence BTC spot ETFs seeing $1.9B weekly outflows (3rd-worst run since 2018) means institutional money has been

🚨 Bitcoin Bloodbath: Snag Profits or Scoop Up the Dip at $92K? Crypto's Hottest Buys Revealed! 💀📉

Whoa, hold onto your wallets, folks! 😱 Bitcoin's wild ride from that jaw-dropping $126K peak in early October has turned into a heart-stopping nosedive, slashing over $1 trillion from the entire crypto market's value. We're talking a brutal 27% wipeout, erasing every ounce of 2025's gains and leaving BTC hovering around $92K today. It's like watching your favorite rollercoaster flip upside down—terrifying, but is this the ultimate buying opportunity? 🌪️ Picture this: Just weeks ago, euphoria reigned as Bitcoin shattered records, fueled by institutional frenzy and ETF inflows. Fast forward to now, and panic selling has gripped the streets (and the charts). Liquidity jitters, macro headwinds from rising unemployment whispers, and a tech bubble vibe have traders sweating bullets. The total cr
🚨 Bitcoin Bloodbath: Snag Profits or Scoop Up the Dip at $92K? Crypto's Hottest Buys Revealed! 💀📉
Good questions. There is a realistic chance that the rebound of Bitcoin (BTC) is stalling — and that it could drop further. Here is how I view the situation, based on recent data and broader crypto-market dynamics. --- 📉 Why the rebound may be over (or at least fragile) Bitcoin recently fell sharply, sliding from near US$90,000 back toward ~US$86,000.  Market sentiment has turned risk-off: macroeconomic uncertainty, caution among institutional investors, and broader sell-offs in risk assets are working against Bitcoin.  Technical indicators look weak: some analysts regard recent patterns as indicating a so-called “death cross” (short-term moving average crossing below long-term average), which historically has signalled deeper corrections.  The recent rally — from ~US$80 K b

Bitcoin's quick rebound toward the $89K resistance definitely caught my attention. After the recent volatility, seeing BTC push back to this level shows that buyers are still very active, and sentiment hasn't been completely shaken. For me, the key question now is whether this bounce is driven by genuine accumulation or just short-term positioning before the next big move. What really stands out is how U.S. crypto-related stocks reacted. With BMNR $BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc.(BMNR)$   and MSTR $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$   jumping more than 6%, and CRCL $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$  up nearly 3%, the equity side is clearly pricing
🔎 On the “Trump effect” and his BTC holdings It is widely reported that Trump Media & Technology Group (or associated entities) bought roughly 11,500 BTC at an average cost of about US$115,000 per coin.  That would mean a significant paper loss at current prices near US$90,700.  Given this, there is incentive for pro-crypto policy pushes — perhaps to boost valuation. But whether “Trump steps in with major policy moves to rescue his portfolio” is speculative. I found no credible public source confirming that BTC-focused legislation or interventions are being calibrated primarily to serve his personal holdings. Hence, while his and his companies’ holdings may create a bias, equating that with guaranteed policy-driven price rescues seems more conjecture than demonstrated fact. A
