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.
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.
Similarly, other market watchers are interpreting Bitcoin’s pullback as a rare opportunity to accumulate below the $100,000 mark. Simon Dixon, the CEO and co-founder of the online investment platform BnkToTheFuture, urged investors to take advantage of current low levels, noting that they will be getting more BTC for their “fiat shitcoin.”
