A move to that level would represent an approximate 14.77% drop from Bitcoin’s (BTC) current price of $88,350, according to CoinMarketCap. Read more

Fidelity researcher mulls over Bitcoin dropping to $65,000 in 2026, US Clarity Act may not boost Bitcoin’s price: Hodler’s Digest Veteran trader Peter Brandt said the potential passage of the US Clarity Act is unlikely to have a significant impact on Bitcoins price after indications that it could pass Congress as soon as January. Is it a world-shaking macro development? Nope. Needed for sure, but not something that should redefine value, Brandt told Cointelegraph on Friday. Having an asset regulated, particularly an asset for which die-hard investors never wanted to be regulated, is not an earth-shattering event, he added. His comments came after White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks said on Thursday, We are closer than ever to passing the landmark crypto market structure legislation. Read more
Multiple factors, including ETF outflows, contracting demand, and price falling below key support levels, indicate the start of a BTC bear market. Bitcoin (BTC) demand growth has slowed significantly since October 2025, signaling that Bitcoin has entered into another bear market cycle, according to analysts at crypto market analysis platform CryptoQuant. Investor demand for BTC came in three waves during the current market cycle, with the first wave landing in January 2024, CryptoQuant analysts said.

Bitcoin's fundamental properties make it a better long-term bet than gold, according to Bitcoin maximalist and analyst Matthew Kratter. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) will outperform gold in the long run, and BTC holders should not sell their coins to pour into gold during its meteoric run to prices above $4,000 per ounce, according to Bitcoin advocate, educator and market analyst Matthew Kratter. BTC is a better store of value based on scarcity, portability, verifiability, divisibility, and other characteristics of money, Kratter said. He added: The steadily increasing supply of gold can be exacerbated by sudden discoveries of large, untapped gold deposits, which exist within the earth’s crust and in space, he said. Read more
