Bitcoin slips below $85,000 as $90K recovery attempt fails

Bitcoin has declined below $85,000, trading near $84,700, down 5% on the day, after failing to reclaim the $90,000 resistance level. This marks its weakest close since early December. The rejection around $90,000–$92,000 reinforces a near-term bearish structure, characterized by lower highs and an inability to hold above key moving averages. Market participants are using price rallies to reduce exposure rather than open new long positions. Key support lies in the $82,000–$85,000 range, where significant trading activity has previously occurred. A break below $82,000 could lead to accelerated selling toward $80,000–$81,000. For a bullish reversal, Bitcoin needs to stabilize above $85,000, reclaim $88,000–$90,000 with strong buying volume, and show reduced sell-side pressure. The current downturn reflects broader cooling in crypto momentum and reduced risk appetite among traders.

Bitcoin Supply In Loss Turns Up: A Potential Bear Market Signal

Bitcoin is struggling to reclaim the $90,000 level amid market uncertainty and consolidation, with analysts divided on the outlook. A CryptoQuant report indicates a concerning shift: Bitcoin’s Supply in Loss (%) has started rising again, a pattern historically associated with early bear markets. This metric suggests losses are spreading from short-term to long-term holders, signaling a potential change in market structure toward prolonged downturns rather than a temporary correction. Although current levels are below historical capitulation thresholds, the trend change aligns with past cycles where true bottoms formed only after broad distress. Price action remains constrained below key moving averages, with resistance near $94,000–$96,000. A break below $85,000 could renew downside pressure, while holding above $92,000 may improve short-term structure. The overall signal suggests risk remains skewed downward until loss expansion stabilizes or reaches extreme levels.

Bitcoin: Is seller exhaustion behind BTC’s lack of real demand?

Bitcoin is at a macro inflection point, showing signs of seller exhaustion as it holds above key support levels like Binance’s $62,000 realized cost. On-chain data suggests forced selling has subsided, and realized losses have flattened, reducing downside pressure. However, this has not translated into strong buyer conviction. Options pricing indicates a repricing of near-term risk rather than bullish sentiment, with longer-dated skews remaining cautious. Spot market activity reveals reactive and short-lived buying interest, lacking sustained demand or aggressive accumulation. While the market has stabilized, it remains in a consolidation phase without clear bullish leadership, as risk appetite stays constrained and volatility remains episodic.

Bitcoin Crash Incoming? Long-Term Holders Dump BTC in Droves as Selling Pressure Builds

Bitcoin faces significant selling pressure as long-term holders (LTHs) have sold approximately 143,000 BTC (worth $9.5 billion) over the past 30 days—the fastest pace since August 2025. This reverses a brief accumulation phase from late 2025. While mid-term holders continue offloading, very long-term holders (5+ years) show signs of stability. The market has absorbed much of this selling so far, with institutional buyers like spot ETFs purchasing over 40,000 BTC in 2026. However, over 22% of BTC supply is held at a loss, increasing sensitivity to further declines. Macro factors, including unchanged U.S. interest rates and recent ETF outflows of $1.3 billion, add complexity. Despite the pressure, a full crash is unlikely near-term due to lower leverage, institutional support, and healthier market structure. Bitcoin may consolidate around $88,000–$90,000 before liquidity improves, but continued selling could lead to further downside.

Kalshi Traders are Bearish on Bitcoin, Will BTC Price Stand the Test?

Kalshi traders express a bearish outlook on Bitcoin, predicting a potential drop to $64,000 or even $60,000 by the end of 2026 if macroeconomic conditions worsen. Currently trading around $87,675, BTC has declined 1.74% in 24 hours and remains 30.45% below its October 2025 all-time high of $126,198. Despite this, some positive sentiment exists, such as Metaplanet raising $137 million to purchase more BTC, indicating a buy-the-dip mentality. Key factors testing BTC’s price include competition from safe-haven assets like gold and silver, which recently hit record highs, and potential global uncertainty stemming from Trump’s international policies.

DXY posts worst run in 8 years – So why isn’t Bitcoin rocketing?

The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) posted its worst performance in eight years, declining 9.4% in 2025 and continuing to weaken in 2026. Historically, such dollar weakness has been a strong catalyst for Bitcoin rallies, as seen in 2017 and 2020. However, despite this favorable backdrop, Bitcoin has not surged as expected. While former President Trump supports a weaker dollar to boost exports and economic growth, and continues pushing for rate cuts, the Fed has maintained rates, emphasizing data-driven policy. Additionally, Bitcoin's Long-Term Holders (LTHs) have been offloading BTC at the fastest pace in four months, indicating skepticism toward the DXY-Bitcoin correlation. Rising inflation risks may further undermine the rate-cut narrative, leading investors to seek safer assets instead of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Big Money Bet: Whales Are Ramping Up Long Positions As Market Sets Up

Despite Bitcoin's bearish and volatile price action, sentiment is leaning bullish in the short and long term. Large investors, or whales, are accumulating long positions, indicating strong conviction and a potential market shift. Analysis by Joao Wedson shows a clear divergence: institutional players are positioning ahead while retail remains cautious. This behavior suggests whales are ignoring short-term noise and betting on Bitcoin's medium to long-term prospects, potentially leading to a BTC-led market rally. Although many long positions have been liquidated recently, the stacked sell-side liquidations could trigger upward price movement and increased volatility, with a unwind of short bets possibly providing natural relief.

Probe Into Venezuela’s Bitcoin Reserve Confirmed By White House Adviser

White House adviser Patrick Witt confirmed that U.S. authorities are investigating how Venezuela’s Maduro regime was financed, including whether Bitcoin or other digital assets were involved. While not confirming any seizure, Witt acknowledged that crypto is being considered alongside traditional commodities in an ongoing national security review. The statement follows viral but unverified claims that Venezuela may control over 600,000 BTC. Blockchain analysis firms have found no evidence supporting such large-scale holdings, citing a lack of verifiable on-chain data. Bitcoin traded at $89,285 at the time of reporting.
