The recent Bitcoin price crash below the $100,000 psychological level has fueled a new wave of bearish predictions, yet not everyone is convinced that a deeper decline is imminent. While many traders expect a correction to $92,000, one analyst has rejected the idea of a price breakdown, insisting that Bitcoin still has unfinished upside potential before any significant retracement Why The Bitcoin Price Won’t Decline To $92,000 Crypto analyst @YazanXBT has become one of the loudest voices negating the increasingly popular $92,000 crash target for Bitcoin. The analyst took to X social media on November 13 to inform the crypto community that, rather than a drop to $92,000, BTC is gearing up for a new all-time high of $145,000. Related Reading: Here’s When The Next Bitcoin Parabolic Phase To $297,092 Will Begin The analyst backed up his bullish projection by pointing to a similar moment during BTC’s previous bear market bottom. He stated that at the time, many people were certain that the Bitcoin price would fall to $12,000 or even $10,000. But instead, the cryptocurrency bottomed at $15,800 before staging one of its strongest price recoveries ever. Essentially, @YazanXBT’s message implies that mass bearish consensus is often a signal that the opposite outcome is more likely. In response to his X post, a crypto community member argued that Bitcoin still has an unfilled Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap at $92,000. They noted that, based on historical behavior, BTC tends to fill CME gaps before making new highs, implying that a crash is imminent. @YazanXBT dismissed the bearish outlook, reiterating that Bitcoin is much more likely to rally to $145,000 before any pullback to fill the $92,000 CME gap. Notably, a surge to $145,000 would require Bitcoin to break out of its current bearish pressures and climb roughly 50% from where it stands. After seeing weeks of capitulation and massive price declines, BTC is now trading slightly above $96,000, showing no apparent signs of a rebound. Analyst Claims BTC Crash Looks Like Manipulation Crypto market expert @CottonXBT shared a detailed price chart, which highlighted Bitcoin’s drop below $97,000 this week. The chart layout, featuring sharp sell-offs and rapid wicks, has led him to call the recent price dip a possible sign of manipulation rather than a genuine trend reversal. The analyst stressed that this type of price action often occurs when large players attempt to shake out retail investors before driving the market higher again. He urges investors to ignore the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) and buy more BTC.

Chain analysts and law enforcement are sounding the alarm about a type of fraud known as “pig-butchering,” in which criminals groom victims online and push them into fake crypto investments. Related Reading: XRP Earns Academic Praise: University Study Calls It ‘Gold In Your Hands’ According to Chainalysis, crypto scams sent close to $10 billion on-chain in 2024, with pig-butchering revenue growing almost 40% year-over-year and the number of deposits into those scams rising more than 200% — even as the average deposit size fell roughly 55%. These shifts point to a model that now relies on many more victims paying smaller amounts, making the operation both lucrative and hard to trace. Organized Networks Behind The Scams Investigators say these are not lone fraudsters. Reports have disclosed that scam networks operate like organized criminal enterprises, sometimes using trafficked workers in compounds to call, message and manage victims. Victim grooming can span weeks or months, turning emotional manipulation into a steady revenue stream for the gangs. Research and reporting have tied some of these operations to regions in Southeast Asia and to groups that move money through concentrated crypto wallets. AI And Marketplaces Help Scammers Scale Law enforcement and analysts warn that generative AI and service markets are making the pig butchering scams cheaper and faster to run. According to Chainalysis and multiple news outlets, AI tools are being used to create convincing chatbots, voice clones and fake profiles, while online marketplaces sell domain services and hosting that let scammers spin up lifelike investment sites. That combination has helped fraud operators widen their reach and target more people at once. Infrastructure And Sanctions Authorities have started to hit the infrastructure that supports the scams. The US Treasury’s OFAC sanctioned a Philippines-based firm, Funnull Technology Inc., and its alleged administrator for supplying internet infrastructure and tools used by fraud networks. Chainalysis and other researchers tied Funnull’s services to sites used in pig-butchering, and US losses linked to those operations were said to exceed $200 million in some investigations. Sanctions aim to cut off access to the web services scammers use to appear legitimate. Related Reading: Dogecoin Alert!

Earlier actions involving other cases led to much larger freezes. Those moves show how industry cooperation can stop some cash-outs before criminals convert crypto into fiat.

Following a notable debut on the Nasdaq earlier this year, Circle (CRCL), the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has experienced a significant decline in its stock value. After hitting a peak of $298 on June 23, just 18 days post-launch, shares have now dropped by 68%, trading around $82. Circle Faces Challenges As Lockup Period Approaches Despite benefiting from a softer regulatory stance on digital assets in the US with President Trump’s crypto policies, Circle faces challenges that history does not favor, particularly as it approaches the end of its lockup period. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Tumbles Toward $98,000: What’s Driving The Drop And What Lies Ahead Analysts, including Dan Dolev from Mizuho, highlighted that this lockup period prevents insiders from selling shares, typically for 180 days after an initial public offering. Circle’s initial public offering (IPO) filing indicated that this lockup period is set to expire two days after the company unveils its third-quarter earnings, which is this Friday. Mizuho’s analysis of over 750 IPOs with market capitalizations exceeding $1 billion reveals that 58% of companies that outperform the S&P 500 prior to their lockup period tend to underperform the index in the 180 days following it. These companies see an average decline of approximately 2%. The outlook is even bleaker for firms falling short of revenue expectations in the year after their IPOs, which tend to experience an average negative return of about 10% relative to the S&P 500. Circle may find itself in this latter category according to Mizuho. A significant portion of the company’s revenue comes from the interest on USDC reserves held in short-term US Treasuries, Treasury repurchase agreements, and cash. Consequently, a decline in interest rates or slower-than-anticipated growth of USDC could adversely impact revenue streams. Dolev noted: In our view, CRCL is likely to see downward revisions to consensus estimates over the coming years amid declining rates and less stellar proliferation of its USDC stablecoin, alongside growing distribution costs. Is CRCL A Buy-Low Opportunity? Despite these potential downward adjustments, Circle recently exceeded consensus estimates for both revenue and earnings in its third-quarter report.

The bank underscored the ongoing acceptance of stablecoins within mainstream financial institutions, with USDC being a leading player in this space. However, the impending lockup expiration has already placed downward pressure on Circle’s stock, according to JP Morgan analyst Kenneth Worthington. He views the current situation as a “buy-low opportunity” for investors, suggesting that the stock’s decline post-lockup may have brought it to levels below its December 2026 price target, indicating potential for future upside.

Bitcoin has slipped below the $100,000 mark, now trading around $97,000 for the first time since May, as selling pressure intensifies across the market. Bulls are struggling to defend critical support, and sentiment has turned decidedly fearful, with traders scaling back leverage and rotating into stablecoins amid heightened volatility. Despite this weakness, on-chain data suggests that large buyers may already be positioning for a potential rebound. Related Reading: $1.33B Ethereum Whale Just Moved Another $120M USDT to Binance – Details According to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, massive bid walls have been spotted on Binance Futures, signaling that aggressive buyers are stepping in to absorb the recent wave of selling. Historically, such large-scale bids have often coincided with local bottoms, as whales and institutional traders accumulate into weakness. This emerging liquidity pattern may suggest growing confidence among deep-pocketed players that Bitcoin’s downside could be limited. However, with macro uncertainty still weighing heavily on the market, traders remain cautious. Aggressive Buyers Step In As Bid Walls Signal Dip Accumulation According to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, recent order book data reveals a strong layer of support forming on Binance Futures, where two major bid clusters have emerged — one around 800 BTC and another stacking up to 2,000 BTC. This concentration of buy orders suggests that large traders, often referred to as aggressive dip buyers, are actively accumulating Bitcoin at current levels around $97,000. Bid walls of this size are significant because they indicate a willingness among deep-pocketed investors to absorb selling pressure and defend price levels perceived as undervalued. In practice, such large orders create a temporary price floor, making it harder for BTC to fall further without massive selling volume. This behavior is often observed in early phases of market reversals. Smart money begins building positions while retail sentiment remains fearful. Maartunn notes that these clusters reflect renewed confidence from high-volume traders who see long-term value despite the recent correction. If these orders remain active and continue to absorb liquidity, Bitcoin could stabilize above the $95,000–$97,000 range. Historically, periods of strong bid support have preceded short-term relief rallies, suggesting that the current dip may be setting the stage for a broader recovery. Related Reading: BTC Leverage Cooldown Signals Market Reset: OI Drops 21% As Excess Risk Is Flushed Out Bitcoin Tests Key Support After Losing $100K Bitcoin’s price action has turned increasingly fragile, with the asset now trading near $96,800, its lowest level since May. The three-day chart shows a decisive break below the $100,000 psychological threshold, confirming a short-term bearish shift as sellers dominate. Volume has spiked notably in recent sessions, suggesting panic-driven liquidations as traders unwind leveraged positions. The 50-day moving average has crossed below the 100-day, signaling fading momentum, while the 200-day moving average — currently near $88,000 — stands as the next central support zone if selling pressure persists. Despite the breakdown, price is showing early signs of stabilization around current levels, hinting that dip buyers may be stepping in.

Bitcoin has repeatedly found support above its 200-day MA during previous mid-cycle retracements. A pattern that often precedes recovery once selling exhausts. The RSI (not shown here) is likely near oversold territory, reinforcing this view. If BTC can reclaim and hold above $100,000, a short-term relief rally toward $105,000–$108,000 could unfold. However, failure to defend $95,000 may accelerate the decline toward $90,000. Overall, the chart reflects a market in consolidation, balancing between capitulation risk and early accumulation.

Ethereum is trading at a critical juncture after briefly losing the $3,200 level, with bulls struggling to defend it amid rising selling pressure. The broader crypto market remains on edge, as fear and uncertainty continue to weigh on sentiment following days of steady declines across major assets. Traders are watching closely to see if Ethereum can stabilize above this key support zone — a failure to do so could trigger a deeper correction toward the $3,000 area. Related Reading: $1.33B Ethereum Whale Just Moved Another $120M USDT to Binance – Details Despite the mounting pressure, one prominent Ethereum whale — known for a series of large-scale purchases this month — continues to accumulate aggressively. This investor has consistently added to their position even as the price fell, signaling strong long-term confidence in Ethereum’s fundamentals and recovery potential. This divergence between short-term fear and long-term accumulation paints a complex picture for Ethereum. While short-term volatility remains a concern, large holders’ continued buying may be setting the foundation for a more sustained rebound once market conditions stabilize and sentiment improves. Ethereum Whale Keeps Buying Despite Market Turbulence According to data from Lookonchain, the prominent Ethereum investor known as Whale ’66kETHBorrow’ has continued his large-scale accumulation despite the ongoing market downturn. Earlier today, the whale purchased 19,508 ETH worth approximately $61 million, expanding his already massive position built over the past week. Shortly after, an update revealed yet another purchase — 16,937 ETH valued at $53.91 million — bringing his total accumulation since November 4 to 422,175 ETH, worth roughly $1.34 billion at an average price near $3,489. Despite the recent price drop, the whale is currently sitting on more than $120 million in unrealized losses, but continues to double down on Ethereum exposure. This aggressive strategy indicates strong long-term confidence, as the investor appears unfazed by short-term volatility. Market observers suggest this accumulation pattern could signal institutional-level conviction that Ethereum’s current prices represent a strategic buying zone. While retail sentiment remains cautious amid heightened uncertainty, the whale’s consistent activity underscores a broader trend: large players are quietly accumulating, positioning themselves ahead of a potential recovery once macro conditions stabilize and risk appetite returns to the crypto market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Leverage Cooldown Signals Market Reset: OI Drops 21% As Excess Risk Is Flushed Out ETH Struggles Below $3,300 as Selling Pressure Intensifies Ethereum is currently trading around $3,200, facing renewed selling pressure after briefly reclaiming the $3,400 zone earlier this week. The daily chart shows ETH struggling to hold above its 200-day moving average (red line) — a key support level that often defines long-term market structure. A decisive close below this line could confirm a deeper correction phase. The 50-day and 100-day moving averages continue to trend downward, reinforcing the short-term bearish outlook. If Ethereum fails to recover momentum, the next major support sits near $3,000, followed by $2,850, where buyers previously stepped in during the summer consolidation. Conversely, a recovery above $3,400–$3,500 would be the first signal that bullish momentum is returning. Related Reading: Bitcoin Inflows To Binance Surge: Daily Average Hits 7,500 BTC Despite the pullback, analysts emphasize that large holders — including the #66kETHBorrow whale — continue to accumulate ETH, signaling strong conviction in the asset’s long-term potential.
