$BTC Bitcoin Q4 2025 Review: Worst Since 2018

Summary:

Bitcoin recorded its second-worst fourth quarter in Q4 2025, down 23.8%. Only Q4 2018 was worse (-42%). Normally, Q4 is strong for Bitcoin (average +77%), making this year a significant outlier.

Reason for the Drop:

In October, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $126,000.

Excessive leverage and crowded long positions made the market unstable.

When momentum slowed, profit-taking and forced deleveraging caused the price to fall.

The drop was not due to weak demand but positioning and leverage.

Current Market Structure:

$BTC is now consolidating in the $84,000–$86,000 demand zone.

Volume is low and Chaikin Money Flow is negative, indicating capital outflows.

The market is in a pause phase, and recovery is not yet confirmed.

Key Levels to Watch:

Support: $84,000–$86,000 (demand zone)

Resistance: $92,000, $98,000–$100,000

Conclusion:

Bitcoin’s Q4 correction signals a structural reset, not a full trend breakdown. If BTC holds support and breaks key resistance levels, the bullish trend could return.
