Amid the bearish pressure that has rocked the market, the Bitcoin price continues to fluctuate around the $110,000 support, especially with selling pressure building up. This has led to predictions that the Bitcoin price is headed for another crash amid the weakness. One analysis that stands out comes from crypto analyst Toby Dawson, who pointed out the formation of a bearish Heads and Shoulders pattern that could trigger a cascade below $100,000. Head And Shoulders Pattern Points Downward In the analysis shared on the TradingView website, Dawson outlines the formation of the head and shoulders pattern. The first shoulder here, the left shoulder, was created at around $117,000, when the price was struggling back in the month of September. The subsequent recovery would then give rise to the formation of the head.

This resistance at this level led to the formation of the head of the pattern, and, as expected, the price continued its downtrend following this. The most recent of these is the formation of the right shoulder, which was created in the rally toward $117,000 at the end of October. Once again, the Bitcoin price hit another major resistance, marking the completion of the head and shoulders pattern. With this formation, the crypto analyst points out the possibility that the Bitcoin price will see a major bounce. However, in the case of a breakdown, the expectation would be for the price to crash below the $100,000 and move toward $90,000. Bitcoin Price Crash Expectations Spread Another crypto analyst has also called out the possibility of the Bitcoin price crashing. This comes after the cryptocurrency made a new all-time high above $126,000, and the analyst points out that the digital asset has always seen a major price crash after reaching new peaks.

These two are serving as the last line of defense, and if they fail, then the analyst expects the Bitcoin price to go into free fall. As a result, the analyst warns that investors should get ready to exist as “Bitcoin is heading straight to hell!” Just like Dawson, the crypto analyst expects that Bitcoin will break below $100,000, but puts it even further. This time, it isn’t expected to actually stop above $90,000, but to reach deeper into the $80,000 territory before finding support. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Michael Saylor sent a short, cryptic message on X on November 2, 2025: “Orange is the color of November.” The post included a chart tied to Strategy’s (formerly MicroStrategy) Bitcoin tracker. Reports have disclosed that crypto outlets and market watchers quickly read the line as a hint at another corporate Bitcoin buy. Related Reading: Forget Billions—XRP Could Hit Trillions, Leading Expert Says Bitcoin Buy: Orange Dot Signals According To screenshots and media coverage, the post echoed past Saylor posts that used orange imagery to flag Bitcoin moves. Some outlets called it a tease for a 13th straight purchase by Strategy. That description comes from reporters tracking the firm’s buying pattern, not from an official Strategy statement. The tweet did not lay out timing or dollar amounts. Strategy Holdings And Recent Buys Based on reports and filings summarized in market coverage, Strategy currently holds roughly 640,808 BTC, with an average cost basis near $74,302 per coin. The company’s last disclosed acquisition was about 390 BTC, which market trackers put at roughly $43 million. Those figures come from public disclosures and tracking services that follow corporate treasury buys. Orange is the color of November. pic.twitter.com/M3JoIuDpRk — Michael Saylor (@saylor) November 2, 2025 Market Reactions And Risks Traders reacted fast. Some buyers pushed prices higher on the idea that another corporate buyer was about to enter the market. Others sold into the noise, treating the tweet as a signal that might not immediately lead to a trade. Headlines linking the post to other big political or economic events—such as reporting on US President Donald Trump—appeared in a few outlets, but analysts say such connections are speculative unless tied to filings or on-chain moves. Why Watch For Filings Based on past practice, Strategy tends to file disclosures after completing purchases. That pattern makes regulatory filings and on-chain addresses worth watching for anyone tracking actual flows. If a fresh 8-K appears or a wallet tied to the company posts movement, that will turn rumor into confirmed action. Until then, the market runs on interpretation and expectation. What This Means For Investors For holders, corporate accumulation often serves as a sentiment boost. For short-term traders, it raises volatility. Institutional watchers will be looking not only for more purchases but also for any change in scale. The company’s large stake—hundreds of thousands of BTC at a multi-thousand dollar average—means that public buys or sales have the power to move sentiment. Related Reading: XRP’s Next Earthquake: Billions Set To Flow In, ‘Supply Shock’ Coming—Analyst What To Watch Next Based on reports, the clearest signs to watch are regulatory filings, updates from Strategy itself, and on-chain transfers tied to known company addresses.

Until those items appear, the tweet remains a strong hint but not proof of an imminent large purchase. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Amid the market pullback, Solana (SOL) has hit a new local low after its price fell below a crucial support level for the first time in months. Some analysts have suggested that the altcoin is in a healthy retest of a key area, but others warned that the cryptocurrency risks another major correction if the current levels are also lost. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run: Over Or Just Paused? CryptoQuant CEO Presents The Data Solana Risks 30% Correction On Monday, Solana recorded an 8.3% drop after losing the lower boundary of its three-month range. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $175-$250 levels after the August breakout, hitting a multi-month high of $253 during the September rally. Since then, the altcoin has retraced nearly 35% to the current levels and failed to successfully reclaim the $200 psychological barrier despite multiple attempts. Following the early October correction, when SOL dropped to $168, the price has repeatedly retested the $170-$180 mark as support, bouncing from this area each time. Nonetheless, the recent market volatility, which sent Bitcoin (BTC) back to the $107,000 mark, has dragged Solana below its crucial support zone to a new local low of $165. Amid this performance, some analysts have suggested that SOL’s pullback may not be over, as the price risks another major correction. Analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the cryptocurrency’s macro range between $100-$260, emphasizing that Solana must reclaim $200 to show strength and potentially target the range highs. He previously affirmed that a confirmed breakdown from the $180 level would set the stage for further losses. Per the chart, the next support level sits around the $158 area, which marks the mid-zone of the macro range and a key support and resistance level throughout the early Q3 run and Last November’s breakout. However, the analyst considers that the next crucial support actually “sits much lower.” As he explained, if Solana fails to bounce from the current levels and reclaim $180, it could face a 30% pullback to $115. Meanwhile, analyst DonAlt affirmed that “It’s probably wise to have a bearish bias between here and $210 and then aggressively flip if SOL manages to flip the $210 resistance.” Investor Bet On SOL’s Long-Term Performance Despite the bearish outlooks, some have suggested that SOL is “showing a clean retest setup” within its long-term support. Trader Elite Crypto considers that SOL’s recent pullback “looks like a healthy correction after months of upward movement.” He noted that the cryptocurrency is still holding a major ascending support zone that has served as a crucial bounce point since 2023. Based on this, the market watcher expects Solana’s price to retest the $158 area before the next leg up. “Overall, I am still bullish on SOL,” he affirmed. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley suggested a bullish long-term performance for the leading altcoin. In an X post, he highlighted that the asset management firm “opened a bridge to Solana for many investors” with its recently launched SOL Staked Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Related Reading: Is Crypto ‘Boring’ Now?

According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, it led “all crypto ETPs by a country mile in weekly flows.” Horsley highlighted that “ETF investors tend to be long term oriented,” signaling that the cryptocurrency is expected to have an overall bullish performance in the future despite the current price action. As of this writing, SOL is trading at $167, a 17% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
