The crypto market is on fire with a sharp decline that woke up the panic sellers among young Bitcoin holders. Those people sold more than 148,000 bitcoins at a loss, which has been the dominant factor in the analysts’ call for a sub-$90,000 BTC bottom.
The market is almost back to where it was at the start of the year after this cash-out spree that made Bitcoin slash its value to $92,000 over a weekend. Sentiment is totally bearish, thus, the withdrawal of money is the dominant theme that both investors and traders implement in their risky portfolios.
Bitcoin has cut its value by a quarter compared to its peak of $126,000 achieved on Oct. 16, thereby solidifying a risk-off stance among investors. The number of coins sold is the on-chain metric that points to more than 148,000 bitcoins that belong to retail or newly arrived groups and which were offloaded at a loss on Nov. 11, with the subsequent fire sale taking place far below the average purchase price. The quite vivid and loud loss realisation is only a symptom of a market engulfed by panic selling.

After the recent plunge under the 50-week moving average, experts are suggesting that the price will go much lower with the next correction taking it to sub-$90,000 territory.
Crypto analyst Jelle believes that Bitcoin has entered another correction period, and his opinion is that it can be extended until the end of the year, or the price could fall by 5%. Five percent of the current price would bring the downtrend to level 89,300.

Bitcoin is hovering just above the support region between $92,500 and $95,500 and is capable of climbing from $102,000 to $107,000 if buyers show up.
Yet, a day without a single candle above the yearly open at $93,300 will make the price fall to or below the bottom line of April at $74,000, where it could stabilise for a while. The $90,000 to $100,000 range is being watched closely by traders.
