A crypto analyst who correctly predicted Bitcoin’s (BTC) cycle peak around $125,000 has released a new report detailing fresh projections for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. In the update, the analyst maintains a largely bearish outlook, pointing to weakening technical structure amid the ongoing bear market. He also outlines what investors and traders should expect in the coming weeks or months, while sharing his strategy for navigating continued downside pressure. Bitcoin And The Broader Market Bear Trend In an X post published at the start of the week, market expert Doctor Profit shared a Sunday report, explaining Bitcoin’s recent movements and outlining what the market should expect as bearish conditions persist. He noted that since September 2025, he has consistently shared his outlook on Bitcoin and how its price movements could unfold over the coming months. After successfully projecting Bitcoin’s $125,000 top in 2025, Doctor Profit revealed that he also anticipated the cryptocurrency’s decline to $100,000, which occurred a few weeks after his forecast. In addition, he predicted BTC’s price crash to $60,000, a move that also played out within weeks of his call.

True to his prediction, Bitcoin rallied to $76,000 last week before retreating sharply to $68,000 just a few days later. According to Doctor Profit, this movement represents one of many bullish traps he has repeatedly warned about, signaling a continued bear market trend. Due to the risk of further downside pressure, Doctor Profit has shared his strategy moving forward. He revealed that he recently sold the BTC he purchased two weeks ago at around $68,000 and is currently holding a larger short position between $115,000 and $125,000. He also noted that he may add more shorts in the $79,000 to $84,000 region with a 5x leverage. Beyond Bitcoin, the analyst noted that the entire financial market is in a “bear market scenario.” The analyst had highlighted major liquidity stress in the repo market as far back as September 2025, alongside rising risks tied to the FED’s standing repo facility. He further claimed that there is ongoing manipulation in the silver and gold markets, where futures prices have increasingly diverged from physical supply, which continues to decline. In addition, Doctor Profit pointed out that, amid rising oil prices, AI-and data-related stocks appear heavily overbought. As a result, he has taken short positions across these sectors, as well as in Bitcoin, stocks, and indices in certain regions. He added that all of his shorts are presently in profit. Still maintaining a negative outlook, Doctor Profit expects the current bear market to dominate most financial assets, with only a few staying strong. In his view, Bitcoin remains in a weak technical position and lacks clear directional strength, which helps explain its ongoing sideways price action. Looking ahead, the analyst predicts that the next major move is likely another price correction. He explained that markets may attempt to push prices higher to capture liquidity above key levels before driving them much lower. At the same time, he added that they are also proceeding cautiously due to ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that could pose significant risks. What’s Next For The BTC Price In his report, Doctor Profit stated that he no longer holds any spot positions in Bitcoin, arguing that the next major downside move is only a matter of time. The analyst warned that the market could still experience fake outs before another decline. Overall, he maintains a strongly bearish outlook and expects Bitcoin to fall toward the third target highlighted on his chart between $50,000 and $40,000.

Doctor Profit also emphasized that last week’s FOMC meeting provided clearer insights into where the market is likely headed next. According to him, the next interest rate cut is now expected in December 2026, much later than the market had previously anticipated. With no rate cuts currently in place, the analyst believes market fear could spread as inflationary pressures remain elevated. Given these bearish headwinds, Doctor Profit has issued an official call for the coming weeks or months, projecting another major Bitcoin price crash similar to the one he made after the 2025 cycle top.

Hyperliquid just launched options trading on its PURR common stock on the Nasdaq Options Market. Related Reading: 3 Big Hyperliquid News You Might Have Missed This Week Yet Another Milestone For Hyperliquid Across the bloc, one question resonates amongst traders, users and onlookers of the crypto space alike: how far can Hyperliquid actually go? The once-underdog now-leading perp DEX reaches for the stars as NewsBTC’s most recent piece recapping Hyperliquid latest achievements already needs updating. Hyperliquid’s treasury firm Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. (HSI) announced on Tuesday that it has rolled out options trading on its PURR common shares on the Nasdaq Options Market. PURR live on Nasdaq today. The main goals of the launch, as stated by the company’s press release, are to enhance liquidity and price discovery for PURR, give both institutional and retail investors new tools to hedge, express directional views, and run more sophisticated equity‑options strategies around this proxy for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. David Schamis, CEO of Hyperliquid Strategies Inc, frames this new venture as a “major milestone for the Company”. He believes there wasn’t a better timeline to launch options trading on PURR: from its record-breaking oil perps to fiat on-ramp adoption, HIP-3 markets hitting new all-time highs and even surpassing some major CEX’s derivatives volume, Hyperliquid sits in the spotlight of the crypto market recently. “As Hyperliquid continues to dominate headlines with record-breaking oil perpetuals and surging Real-World Asset (RWA) adoption, we believe this is a great time to launch options trading on PURR. PURR options allow our investors to better manage risk and participate in the rapid growth of Hyperliquid’s high-performance ecosystem” HSI’s business model centers on a digital asset treasury platform that builds exposure to HYPE, Hyperliquid’s native token, through staking, yield strategies, and active participation in the ecosystem, all with the goal of maximizing shareholder value. Hyperliquid is straight-up DOMINATING the perpetuals game Its 24-hour open interest just smashed nearly $7B, that’s almost 4x Aster’s. Hyperliquid isn’t just leading… it’s leaving everyone else in the dust https://t.co/wkej3l47Yt pic.twitter.com/SZbqDhkdvo — Hyperliquid Daily (@HYPERDailyTK) March 25, 2026 What PURR Option Traders Should Look For PURR effectively gives traditional market participants listed‑equity exposure to HYPE and the Hyperliquid ecosystem without touching on‑chain infrastructure directly, which is why options on PURR are being pitched as “capital‑efficient exposure” to HYPE. Moreso, equity options can amplify flows around a crypto‑linked treasury stock through more hedging demand from HSI shareholders, potential volatility sellers and buyers that care more about HYPE fundamentals than about PURR as a standalone name, and the possibility of options‑driven feedback loops in the underlying.

For traders, the key dials to watch now are options volume and open interest in PURR as a tell on institutional positioning, implied volatility as a snapshot of how confident the market really is in Hyperliquid’s growth story, and any spike in correlation between PURR, HYPE, and on‑chain activity on the Hyperliquid DEX, which can flag when equity, token, and protocol flows are all starting to move in the same direction HYPE's price is on a growing trend, trading for $41 on the daily chart.
