Bitcoin (BTC), the pioneer and most valued cryptocurrency, recently experienced a retracement, dipping to $94,279 (price at the time of writing) from its all-time high of $99,655 on November 23 as per data seen in CoinMarketCap. While this dip might concern some investors, crypto market analysts remain optimistic, predicting that Bitcoin is on track to cross the $100,000 mark before the year ends.
Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, shared his insights with Cointelegraph, describing Bitcoin’s current situation as a consolidation phase. He pointed out that Bitcoin’s historical tendency to weaken toward the end of the month has helped ease its overbought technical conditions. Thielen further explained that broader macroeconomic factors, such as potential Federal Reserve policies, might impact high-risk assets like Bitcoin in the short term. However, he maintained a positive outlook for the weeks ahead, expressing confidence in Bitcoin’s resilience and its ability to recover quickly.
Similarly, Charlie Sherry, head of finance at BTC Markets, reassured investors as the insights shared in Cointelegraph that framing the recent decline as part of Bitcoin’s historical pattern of sharp gains followed by healthy corrections. Sherry highlighted that such pullbacks are necessary for consolidating market gains and reducing leverage, ultimately setting the stage for further growth. He described the current scenario as “a final flush” before Bitcoin ascends to six figures.
Both experts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s journey, emphasizing that these temporary hurdles are part of a larger bullish trajectory. With robust market fundamentals and growing institutional interest, the road ahead appears promising for Bitcoin to not only reclaim its previous highs but to break through the much-anticipated $100,000 milestone.
Prominent trader Bluntz echoed these sentiments, expressing confidence in Bitcoin’s resilience to his 298,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter). “I think up from here, and it ain’t going as low as people think,” he remarked, projecting a steady climb.
CK Zheng, co-founder of ZX Squared Capital, shared a similar view, emphasizing that the $100,000 level represents a strong psychological resistance. While some long-term holders might reduce exposure at this point, Zheng believes the pullback is “healthy and shallow,” presenting a great entry opportunity for new investors. He expects Bitcoin to break $100,000 within the next few months, aided by the crypto-friendly stance of the new Trump administration.
As Bitcoin consolidates after its recent dip, analysts agree that its long-term trajectory remains upward. With the market aligning for a strong finish to the year, many believe this correction is merely a stepping stone toward Bitcoin achieving its much-anticipated six-figure milestone. For both seasoned and new investors, this could be a golden opportunity to ride the wave of crypto’s next big move.
