Capital is flowing out of the crypto market as Bitcoin pulls back sharply from its October peak above $126K to the $87K zone. A drop below the 50- and 100-day moving averages reflects weakening momentum, often leading to increased selling pressure. $BTC
Dogecoin’s slide below the $0.13 level is beginning to attract interest from institutional traders. Market watchers note that DOGE’s near-term trend hinges on whether it can stay above the key support range between $0.1290 and $0.1280. If buyers manage to defend this area, the price could attempt a move higher, though the $0.1300 mark remains the first major hurdle for any recovery.

Crypto markets bled on Tuesday Bitcoin slipped near $86K amid macro uncertainty. Major altcoins like ETH, XRP, and SOL fell over 5%, while crypto stocks took heavy hits — though a few managed to hold up better than the rest. 😬📊
🚀Crypto market analyst Merlijn The Trader suggests that Ethereum’s latest price behavior closely mirrors a classic Wyckoff accumulation pattern. In a recent post on X, he analyzed ETH’s 2-day chart and described its 2025 price movements as a near-perfect example of this setup—one that could lead to a strong bullish move if the pattern continues to play out as expected.
Michael Saylor Signals Possible Bitcoin Purchase as BTC Dips Under $88K
Bitcoin experienced renewed selling pressure late Sunday, briefly dropping to around $87,600, marking its lowest level in roughly two weeks. The decline followed a pattern seen recently, where prices tend to dip during weekend trading before rebounding.
Despite the drop, Bitcoin managed to recover above $89,000 shortly afterward.
Amid the market weakness, Strategy chairman Michael Saylor hinted that his company may increase its Bitcoin holdings. He shared a post on X referencing “more orange dots,” a phrase commonly associated with the firm’s Bitcoin accumulation activity.
According to available tracking data, Strategy’s most recent purchase was made in mid-December, when it acquired over 10,000 BTC, its largest buy in several months. The company now holds approximately 660,000 BTC, valued at more than $58 billion based on current market prices.
With an average purchase price below the current market level, Strategy remains in profit on its Bitcoin position for now.

Bitcoin-focused treasury companies are now facing a tough “Darwinian phase,” according to a new analysis from Galaxy Research. These companies previously benefited from their share prices trading above the value of the Bitcoin they held. That allowed them to raise money, buy more Bitcoin, and create a cycle of rapid expansion. However, this model has broken down as Bitcoin’s price has fallen sharply from its highs and investor appetite for risk has weakened. Many of these firms now trade below the value of their Bitcoin holdings, meaning their leverage is working against them instead of helping them grow. Galaxy warns that the same strategies that boosted gains during the bull market are now worsening losses. Several Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) stocks that once traded with large premiums are now at discounts, with firms like Metaplanet and Nakamoto seeing steep drawdowns. In extreme cases, prices have collapsed over 98% from their peaks — similar to volatile memecoin sell-offs.
How Bitcoin, XRP, Ether, and Solana Could React to Friday’s Inflation Data
Crypto markets are waiting for the upcoming U.S. inflation release, which could influence major digital assets this week.
🔹 The report focuses on Core PCE — the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation indicator 🔹 Analysts expect a reading near 2.9% for September 🔹 That would mark more than 4 years of inflation above the Fed’s 2% target
Despite ongoing price pressure, volatility in crypto has remained relatively calm, with no major spikes in option pricing.
📉 If inflation numbers come in softer than expected: • The 10-year Treasury yield could decline • Risk assets like cryptocurrencies may see renewed buying interest • A short-term market recovery could follow
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes Bitcoin could reach $180K by the end of 2026 🚀. He noted that ongoing regulatory progress, such as initiatives like the CLARITY Act, may provide a boost for the crypto sector ⚡. This week, Bitcoin has risen about 1%, recently trading above $92K 💹.
🚀 Analysts have turned bullish again on major cryptocurrencies! 📈 Bitcoin is expected to reach $100K rather than face a large drop, while Ethereum may climb to $4,000 before any potential dip to $2,500. 💡 Experts also believe a major $2B+ liquidation is unlikely before year-end.
🚀 Bitcoin and Ethereum are showing modest gains today! BTC has climbed back to $92,000, while ETH trades around $3,140. 📈 Analysts remain bullish, expecting BTC could hit $100K before a possible pullback to $69K. ETH outperformed BTC last week with a 3.6% increase.
