Bitcoin has entered a precarious situation after falling below $114,000, and sellers continue to mount pressure on it. This comes after a rise to new all-time highs, and sticking to previous trends, Bitcoin looks to be testing previous support levels before continuing on its journey. However, as the price continues to struggle, crypto analyst Xanrox has predicted that a crash is in the future, warning investors to beware of investing in BTC. Bitcoin Shows Signs Of Crash In the analysis, Xanrox pointed out that the Bitcoin price is already primed to crash in the short term. This is due to the appearance of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that is yet to be filled, and the price is already pulling back down toward this level to fill it again. Related Reading: Dogecoin Targets $1.25, But This 170% Move Is The Start The first crash is expected to send Bitcoin to the $110,600 level, which is a previous peak. At this junction, there is a lot of support, and the Bitcoin price will probably resist the crash here for a while before continuing. The crypto analyst also explained that the strong support is due to the fact that the $110,600 level has never been tested previously. There is also the 100-day moving average standing around this level, and this, too, provides support for the price. Given this, the crypto analyst believes that this would be good support for investors looking for intraday trades as the price hits $110,600. Moving forward, Xanrox expects the price to eventually break below $110,600, and the next major level is sitting at $104,800. This is also a strong support level because there is a range and a bull flag here. The most important thing of all is that the fair value gap is sitting at this level to be filled. “The previous major swing low of 105,130 is something where people put a lot of stop losses below it,” the analyst said. “That’s a magnet for whales; they probably want to buy here.” Why Price Is Headed Below $60,000 In light of the current bearish trend, Xanrox predicts that the Bitcoin price will eventually crash below $60,000. This is as a result of the completion of the five waves of the Elliot Wave Theory, suggesting that the market is now heading into the bearish portion.

This trendline has held as the price has climbed, not breaking in five months since then. Therefore, the current break suggests a continuation of the bearish rally. As for when the Bitcoin price will fall below $60,000, the analyst predicts that this will happen in 2026. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Chainlink (LINK) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area after recovering 10%, surpassing most of the market in the past day. Some analysts suggested that the altcoin is ready to break out to new highs, but warned that a rejection from the current levels could lead to volatile retests. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Drop Below $110,000 Despite Bounce – Is A 15% Pullback Coming? Chainlink Reclaims Key Levels On Wednesday, Chainlink led the crypto market as it started to recover from the recent pullback, which saw most cryptocurrencies retest their range lows for the first time in two weeks. LINK recorded the second-best performance among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, with an 11% increase in the past day. Notably, the altcoin hit a six-month high of $26.76 on Monday, after recovering 14% from the weekend lows. As it hit its multi-month high, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that Chainlink added nearly 3,000 new addresses. According to the post, 2,995 new LINK addresses were created on August 18, the highest growth in 5 months. However, the start-of-week correction halted the bullish momentum, sending the cryptocurrency’s price to retest its breakout zone, around the $23.50 mark on Tuesday. After testing this area as support, Chainlink rebounded and reclaimed the $24.50-$25 range, briefly hitting the $26.50 barrier on Wednesday morning before retracing. Analyst Rekt Capital asserted that LINK is attempting to reclaim the $23.86-$34 price area after the recent performance. He highlighted that the lows of this range have historically been a “key support and successful retests here have enabled rallies to the Range High around $34.” Chainlink’s continued stability at the $23.86 level will be crucial for the rally to the range high. The market watcher noted that volatility below this range is possible as part of a volatile retesting process. LINK’s Levels To Watch The cryptocurrency’s monthly close is one of the most important levels to watch, as closing above the range low would position Chainlink for a bullish rally continuation. On the contrary, failing to reclaim this area in the monthly timeframe could lead to a deeper pullback toward the $19.41 level, not seen since the early August breakout. Rekt Capital explained that this level “has often acted as a volatile retest zone in bullish cycles, serving as a base for successful reversals, most prominently in mid-2021,” concluding that the cryptocurrency’s next move will be determined by a reclaim of the $23.86 resistance or a volatile retest of the $19.41 support. Altcoin Sherpa suggested that Chainlink will continue its path to the $30 barrier if the flagship cryptocurrency continues its uptrend. He affirmed that if Bitcoin loses the $110,000 support, LINK will likely see another dip.

Meanwhile, market watcher CW asserted that Chainlink faces one more key area before rallying to $30. According to the post, if LINK breaks through the current sell wall, around the $26.25-$26.75 levels, it will continue its run toward the $30 resistance, where another selling wall is situated. As of this writing, Chainlink trades at $26.15, a 35% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

In a recent address, pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis revealed her efforts to expedite the passage of a crucial piece of legislation known as the Market Structure Bill. This initiative follows the recent enactment of several significant laws, including the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC bills, all aimed at shaping the future of digital assets in the United States. Keys Behind The Responsible Financial Innovation Act Since the House of Representatives passed these key crypto bills last month, the Senate Banking Committee has been crafting its version of a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. Under the leadership of Chairman Tim Scott and alongside Senators Lummis, Bill Hagerty, and Bernie Moreno, the committee introduced the draft of the “Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025.” This piece of crypto legislation seeks to provide much-needed regulatory clarity, promote innovation, and address the significant risks often associated with the evolving digital asset landscape. Related Reading: Expert Touts Chainlink Advantage Over XRP In Institutional Adoption Race The Senate’s proposed framework builds on the foundation laid by the Clarity Act, which primarily aimed to empower the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and classify digital assets as commodities. In contrast, the Senate bill grants the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) primary regulatory oversight over what it terms “ancillary assets.” Notably, the bill specifies that these ancillary assets should not be classified as securities, and transactions involving them would not fall under federal securities laws, including the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970. This comes on the heels of statements from SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who suggested that only a small number of tokens could be classified as securities, depending on how they are packaged and marketed. Crypto Legislation’s Thanksgiving Deadline The bill also takes a stance on combating illicit financial activities associated with digital assets. It mandates new regulations for anti-money laundering (AML) efforts and countering the financing of terrorism. The draft unveils that one of the most pressing challenges in developing a robust digital asset market is determining how traditional banks and financial institutions fit into this evolving ecosystem.

During a recent conversation at the SALT conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Senator Lummis expressed her confidence in the crypto bill’s momentum, stating, “We will have it on the President’s desk before Thanksgiving.” Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
