📉 Peter Brandt predicts $BTC crash before rallying to $200K
Veteran trader Peter Brandt warns that $BTC s currently in a bear market, with a potential crash to $58K following the recent death cross formation. Brandt still holds 40% of his BTC, bought at a fraction of Michael Saylor’s Strategy average price.
Historical cycles and technical patterns (falling wedge, head-and-shoulders, bear flag) support the bearish phase before the next major rally.
The crash may be painful short-term, but Brandt sees it as preparing the path for a massive long-term rally.
📊 Bitcoin ($BTC ) sentiment across social platforms just hit its lowest level since Dec 11, 2023. Based on bullish vs. bearish activity on X, Reddit, Telegram, and more, retail is clearly capitulating and panic-selling at levels not seen in nearly two years — according to Santiment
3 Altcoins Showing Strength If $BTC Slides Below $80K
Bitcoin is down 24% since Nov 11, and a move toward $80,000 could pressure the entire market. But a few assets are holding firm - or even moving opposite $BTC - thanks to strong structures and negative correlation.
📊 Zcash ($ZEC ) ZEC has gained +38.1% over the past 7 days and shows a -0.87 correlation to BTC, favoring upside when Bitcoin weakens. Structure remains intact with consistent demand.
📊 WhiteBIT Coin ($WBTC ) WBT surged +27% in 1 day, hitting $64.20 and holding $56.40 as of Nov 21. Even over the past 7d, against a generally declining market, WBT shows a solid +7,7% weekly gain, outperforming most majors.
If Bitcoin breaks below $80K, these three altcoins may continue to show relative outperformance as the market searches for stability.
Bitcoin Cash BCH $BCH rose 10.80% over the last 24h, outpacing the broader crypto market (-1.7% 24h). The surge aligns with bullish technicals and signs of speculative accumulation.
The past 24 hours brought sharp movements, heightened uncertainty, and a full reset across the top-10 assets. $BTC ’s fall toward $82K set the tone - here’s what shaped the market today 👇
🔥 Market Overview (24h):
• Bitcoin dropped to the $82K zone before stabilizing near $84K • Ethereum and major alts mirrored BTC’s trajectory, showing declines between 8–11%, signaling broad market risk-off sentiment. • Solana, XRP, BNB, and DOGE posted some of the largest pullbacks in the top-10, with SOL and DOGE leading the downside.
🔥 Top Headlines: • Elevated liquidations continue to pressure the market, with nearly $2B wiped out in the last 24 hours and over 395K traders affected (CoinGlass data). • New theory emerges: the decline continues, and a new narrative is gaining traction. Many believe that some funds suffered major losses on October 10 and are now selling assets to cover outstanding debts. With volatility high, this theory is spreading quickly.
The market stands at a critical juncture: liquidity is thin, volatility is elevated, and sentiment remains defensive. Yet historically, such conditions often precede sharp relief bounces - especially going into the weekend.
Stay observant, stay strategic, and always DYOR. 🧠📊
Nearly $1B Liquidated in One Hour as Bitcoin Crashes to $81,868
A leverage-driven flush wiped out almost $1B in one hour, sending Bitcoin to an intraday low of $81,868 and dragging the total crypto market cap below $3T for the first time in seven months. $BTC dropped 2% in under 10 minutes, reinforcing a multi-week downtrend.
Over the past 24 hours, liquidations reached $1.97B, with every major alt in the top 10 (excluding stablecoins) posting double-digit losses. The S&P 500 stabilized, indicating crypto’s decline was isolated and leverage-driven.
Analysts note this is the first major flush since Oct. 10, but unlike the spot-driven event then, this one was fueled by overextended leveraged positions. $BTC open interest spiked to 295K BTC before collapsing by 8,500 BTC, erasing nearly $700M in exposure.
📉 $ETH and SOL longs saw $183M and $56M liquidated, while whale traders faced severe drawdowns - some watching profits drop over 90% in days.
For now, the market remains in liquidity-driven stress, with leveraged positioning still dictating short-term direction.
🇺🇸 Ray Dalio Holds 1% in $BTC , Warns It’s Not Ready for Reserve Role
Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio confirmed he keeps about 1% of his portfolio in $BTC , a steady long-term holding. He cautions that Bitcoin’s transparency and tech risks, including quantum computing, limit its use as a global reserve currency.
Bitcoin is trading defensively today as demand momentum weakens across major exchanges. Analysts note that $BTC failed to hold its breakout region and liquidity is shifting toward lower support zones. Without fresh catalysts in the market, traders expect more range-bound movement in the short term.
Market sentiment has turned defensive as Bitcoin loses its upward momentum. CryptoQuant reports that BTC’s recent demand wave is fading, while Polymarket traders are now heavily positioning for a retest of the 85,000 level. With no strong catalysts like last year, the market is moving cautiously, waiting for the next big trigger. $BTC
