Bitcoin Price Prediction after Drop to $100K

The crypto market is falling again today and Bitcoin is down to $100K for the first time in months.

On Friday, Bitcoin plummeted to $100K.

Quick overview

  • Bitcoin (BTC) is currently facing significant selling pressure, with its price dropping to $100,046.
  • Investors have been leaving Bitcoin in large numbers, causing the coin to struggle in retaining new whale investors.
  • Despite the current decline, there is potential for a breakout if buying pressure increases as Bitcoin hits multi-month lows.
  • The overall cryptocurrency market is in decline, influenced by stock market fears, but the economy remains stable.

There might be too much selling pressure right now for Bitcoin (BTC) to climb back up to a record high before the end of the year? The coin is down to $100,046 (BTC/USD) now.

Investors left Bitcoin in droves this week as the coin plummeted further than it has been in months. BTC’s price even dropped briefly below the critical $100K mark, but it did not stay there for long. We would expect the coin to rally from here, but that was expected a few days ago as well when the coin was at $105K.

BTC/USD

Can Bitcoin even climb back to a new high before the year is up at this point? That seems less possible each day that we see the coin fall further, but there is still potential for a breakout.

Bitcoin’s Serious Problem

Throughout 2025, we have seen Bitcoin fall and recover and set a new record again and again. It seems less likely at this point, however, that the coin will make a full recovery anytime soon. The cryptocurrency market is in a state of decline for now and will have a hard time getting back on its feet.

Bitcoin is hemorrhaging investors, and many of the whales who bought large amounts of bitcoin this year have sold it off already. The coin is having trouble retaining new whale investors and is under intense selling pressure.

That could change with this new low, though, and many investors could have been waiting for Bitcoin to drop to $100K to buy. Historically, when Bitcoin hits multi-month lows, the buying pressure dramatically increases because investors have confidence that the coin will regain much of its losses.

The immensely low price for Thursday, however, could be due in part to selling pressure from the stock market. As fears increase over the AI market bubble bursting and tariffs fluctuating, the stock market has tumbled, with the Nasdaq down nearly 2%. Bitcoin and the wider crypto market has suffered as a result, and we could see the market bounce back at the start of next week.

Investors should keep in mind that the economy is still going strong, with inflation moving very little and the Federal Reserve confident that the economy can handle a new rate cut. The likelihood of Bitcoin surging upward in the coming week is very high, but a rise to $150K before the end of 2025 is much less likely now.
