Is This the Bottom for Bitcoin? Our BTC Price Prediction
Bitcoin has fallen sharply over the last few days but could still fall further according to some estimates.
Quick overview
- Bitcoin fell to $80,760 last week, marking its lowest point in nearly a year, with analysts predicting further declines.
- Investor confidence in Bitcoin is waning, as evidenced by $3.5 billion pulled from Bitcoin ETFs in November.
- The cryptocurrency market is facing challenges from trade wars and fears of a bubble in the AI market, impacting Bitcoin's performance.
- Despite potential for a year-end surge, Bitcoin is expected to experience further bearish trends in the near future.
Bitcoin fell to $80,760 (BTC/USD) last week, reaching its lowest point in nearly a year, but that may still not be the bottom for the coin that has struggled over the past month.
Bearish Bitcoin (BTC) is unlikely to be bullish anytime soon, and a number of analysts expect the coin to fall further in the coming weeks. If it takes that course, then Bitcoin is not going to set a new record before the end of the year, barring some unforeseen positive factors.
BTC/USDBitcoin remains weak after an extensive downward spiral, and there is no reason to think that it will suddenly turn around. December tends to be a good month for the cryptocurrency market, but the past few months have been so brutal for crypto in general that investors are bearish on Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin Price Prediction after latest Movement
As of Monday morning, Bitcoin was holding around $86,000, but we expect it to shift again soon. The coin lost 0.61% over the last 24 hours and has declined nearly 10% from last Monday.
Even Bitcoin finds are down, with $3.5 billion pulled from Bitcoin ETFs for November. U.S.-listed ETFs have done well for most of the year, showing strong investor interest even when Bitcoin itself was performing poorly. But investor confidence is falling off sharply this month, and ETFs are no longer the highly sought after commodity that they used to be.
Bitcoin’s momentum toward a new record highs has been hindered this year by stiff tariffs that Donald Trump has levied against its Chinese trade partners. China has answered back with tariffs of its own, creating a trade war that has constricted the technology market. We have seen tech stocks throttled throughout November despite record highs in September and October. The same fears that have kept that market back have also hurt the cryptocurrency market.
A number of Bitcoin whales have sold off their investments as well. Many of these whales accumulated their bitcoins earlier in 2025 but panicked when high tariffs were announced and sold their coins as they feared the value of Bitcoin would rapidly decline. That selloff severely hurt investor confidence in Bitcoin, and it has only been made worse by rising fears over the collapse of the AI market. For weeks, analysts have been talking about a market bubble forming for AI companies. Discussion over how soon that bubble might burst and cause a market crash has driven technology stocks down and hurt the wider cryptocurrency market as well.
Bitcoin soared earlier in the year, hitting multiple record highs, with its latest around $126,000 in October. However, investors fear that the coin’s rapid growth has outpaced its value, and fearing a sharp decline, they have pulled out of the market throughout November. These fears and limiting factors are not likely to go anywhere soon, which is why we do not believe we have seen the bottom for Bitcoin yet.
Bitcoin may be in for another sharp drop off in the $75-$79,000 range later this week. Strong sales and promising stock performances through Black Friday and Cyber Monday may help buoy the cryptocurrency market, and Bitcoin could surge to a new high before the year is over. However, we expect further bearish behavior for now.
