Bitcoin’s value has experienced a continued downturn, slipping below several critical thresholds in recent days. Currently, Bitcoin is trading slightly over $87,000, which represents a weekly decline of approximately 7.7% and a 19.6% drop from its all-time peak of more than $109,000 achieved earlier this year.
In the midst of this decline, various market analysts have turned to social media to discuss potential reasons for the downturn and forecasts for the future of the leading cryptocurrency.
Diverging Predictions for Bitcoin’s Next Move
Among those sharing insights is crypto analyst Titan of Crypto, who recently provided his thoughts on X, indicating that the monthly close of Bitcoin could provide essential insights. “As long as BTC stays above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, the bull run remains in play,” he remarked.
It’s worth noting that in both traditional and crypto markets, a monthly close is viewed as a crucial indicator as it reflects enduring market sentiment over an extended period. A robust monthly close above vital technical levels can suggest ongoing strength, whereas a close beneath these levels might indicate further declines.
Renowned trader Gareth Soloway projected a broad range for Bitcoin’s future, suggesting it could either drop to $75,000 or rally to $125,000 in the upcoming months.

Other analysts have adopted a more pessimistic viewpoint. Coinmamba, another notable figure in the crypto space, pointed out the diminishing impact of MicroStrategy’s substantial Bitcoin acquisitions.
“The only reason we had such strong Bitcoin performance was due to MicroStrategy’s purchases, and that trend is ending,” Coinmamba expressed, adding that he remains optimistic about altcoins but skeptical about Bitcoin’s immediate future.
Conversely, Crypto Caesar hinted at a potential decline to $73,000 levels, referencing a combination of technical and fundamental indicators that suggest further downside risk.
Optimism Amid the Bearish Sentiment
Despite the cautious outlook from some analysts, a segment of investors remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term potential. Max Brown conveyed strong confidence on X, asserting, “Bitcoin is heading to $150K. ETH is aiming for $15,000. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. We will hold firm and ride our coins to 10x–50x.”
This perspective, while ambitious, underscores the determination of certain Bitcoin holders who perceive current price drops as temporary hurdles rather than fundamental flaws.
Likewise, an investor known as Lemon proposed a straightforward strategy for handling the ongoing decline: “I will start buying every day on every dip, from $85K to $75K. I’ll sell by the end of the year above $110–$120K.”
This strategy, which emphasizes consistent accumulation paired with a clear sell plan, reflects a more measured form of optimism among Bitcoin’s loyal supporters.
