Bitcoin’s Predicted Descent: What May Lie Ahead?

An expert known for foreseeing major Bitcoin declines previously warned of the ongoing slump when Bitcoin was valued at over $120,000. Despite the current fall to $80,000, projections indicate a potential further descent. The analyst advises caution as we approach the end of 2025, amid a volatile market landscape.

A Trusted Voice in a Volatile Market

As December concludes, Bitcoin prices stand below $88,000. With U.S. markets ready for an early closing, little change is expected in the coming trading sessions. The global markets, subdued since mid-December, seem unlikely to gain momentum before the new year.

In these quiet crypto markets, a lack of trading volume has driven altcoins to record lows. Known by the alias Roman Trading, a market strategist who accurately predicted prior downturns, now envisions a Bitcoin floor at $56,000. The strategist suggests taking time away from market pressures could be beneficial during continuous liquidations.

“BTC, for the past one and a half weeks, has done nothing but liquidate investors. A typical holiday price movement. Sometimes, stepping back for a while is truly better.”

In a statement from December 22, this same expert advised preparing for an uneventful period for both Bitcoin and U.S. equities, reminding followers to make use of the holiday season.

Are There Key Price Markers?

Yes, according to CryptoQuant’s JA_Maartun, a pivotal price point is $86,500. Should Bitcoin dip below this, it could trigger panic selling next week. Conversely, a consistent climb above $90,000 may point towards recovery.

As the fourth quarter closes, memories of the severe downturns in 2022 are vivid. This period in 2025 stands to remind investors of Bitcoin’s tough finale in 2018.

Back in 2018, Bitcoin plummeted by 42.16%. Currently, losses for this year hover around 22.5%. At the end of 2022, Bitcoin noted a 14.75% decline for the month. Notably, the second quarter’s 56% slide was the steepest. Historical analysis shows Bitcoin closing both the opening and final quarters negatively for three consecutive years.
