In the last week, Bitcoin lost the $100,000 support zone, marking another drastic turn in an extensive correction phase. Since then, prices have traded as low as $94,700 as the premier cryptocurrency strives to find market stability. Amid rising speculations on the current status of the crypto bull run, market expert Ali Martinez shares a technical analysis that may yet confirm many investors’ fears. Related Reading: Massive Bitcoin Bid Walls Spotted On Binance: Bulls Step In With 2,800 BTC Cluster 1,064-Day Cycle Hints Bitcoin Bull Rally May Be Over Since hitting a new all-time high of $126,000 in early October, Bitcoin slipped into a heavy correction phase, losing 24.66% of its market value in the last five weeks. The cryptocurrency has also decisively fallen below the $100,000 psychological support zone, driving a surge of negative sentiments as short-term investors now sit in losses. Interestingly, renowned market pundit Ali Martinez shares historical data that supports most negative postulations of a budding crypto winter. The analyst explains that the Bitcoin bull market has maintained a fixed number of 1,064 days across the last two market cycles. For example, after reaching a cycle bottom of $166 in January 2015, Bitcoin embarked on a 1,064-day bull rally before registering a market top around $20,000 in December 2017. In the following cycle, the premier cryptocurrency picked up from $3,120 in December 2018 and surged to nearly $69,000 in November 2021 to complete another 1,064-day cycle. Following Bitcoin’s cycle low of $15,500 in November 2022, Martinez observes that the asset reached its most recent all-time high of $126,198 exactly 1,064 days later. Based on this timing pattern, he suggests that Bitcoin may have already topped and recent corrections could mark the early stages of a market winter.

While Martinez’s prediction is grounded in strong historical patterns, investors should recognize that the current market cycle is fundamentally different from previous ones. Institutional participation is significantly higher, highlighted by the rise of Bitcoin spot ETFs and the growth of Bitcoin-holding treasury companies. At the same time, clearer regulatory frameworks across Asia, Europe, and the United States continue to strengthen credibility and accelerate mainstream adoption. These structural changes suggest that Bitcoin may not follow past cycle behavior as closely as before. At press time, Bitcoin trades at $94,650 following a 5.59% price fall in the last day. In the last month, the premier cryptocurrency has been down by 14.61% underscoring the significant selling pressure in the present market. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview

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!

In a coordinated effort with APAC law enforcement, Chainalysis, exchanges and stablecoin issuers helped trace and block nearly $47 million in USDT that had been consolidated by scammers into a few wallets. 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.
