Why always waiting for the right?

But we must also not forget that the current price is nearer to $100,000 than $60,000. So for me, I am still confident we will reclaim $100,000 for me to become bullish again.

I'm pretty confident too that Bitcoin will get to $100k rather than going down to $60k, but it's not because it's currently closer to $100k than $60k. When Bitcoin dipped to around $84k in November, it was closer to $120k than $84k . I believe it will get to $100k because a lot of people are waiting for the dip. People don't understand which way the price might go this year, so a lot of people are still waiting. If Bitcoin dips below $80k, I believe more people will see it as an opportunity to buy rather than an opportunity to sell and that will make the price pump.
It's just a personally observation though, I have no data to back it up.

88,000$ do you think the market would definitely get lower than this?
Actually there are lot of people who where expecting for the market to break even, but after reaching the hand of 97k Plus then a strong selling pressure came through which actually affects the exchange and to its corresponding.

I don’t know why you are so worried about the Bitcoin price. I just want you to understand that the Bitcoin price is unpredictable, and everyone gets it wrong when they try to predict it. It is only luck that makes some people get it right. So even if someone predicts Bitcoin, you know they may not be right unless they are lucky.

What I want to tell you now is that you should stop worrying about Bitcoin for now. Even if Bitcoin prices go lower than this, it is very possible that the price will still recover. So we don’t need to worry too much about the price.if you are the kind of person who wants to start investing, you can start now, because no one knows whether the price will drop further or not. The best way is to start buying now and try to apply the DCA method. This enables you to get Bitcoin at different price levels

For this month, I don't think so, even though it briefly dropped to $87,260 earlier. A surprise may occur this March. From January to February, or for the next two months, the Bitcoin market price chart will remain the same as it is now.
This situation may cause some people to hesitate to act, even though buying is still a good decision to make, and I am not currently advising on trading.
As one of the speculators here has suggested, $80k could become a support level that holds.

This waiting for the right gets me thinking. Waiting is not without expectations and here the expectations is for there to low lower lowest and while this is happening others might be waiting for high higher highest, so which is supposed to happen? Waiting for low is like believing to having control over BTC move (in the light of expectations), so that when you expect low it just happens and when you expect high it just happens when in real sense the time someone is expecting one thing others may be expecting a direct opposite of our expectations so which should happen?
All these expectations of a thing is not without emotional and mental pressure and can even cause high blood pressure, so why the stress. Waiting is easily associated with gambling!! And the best has been interesting not gambling that easily alines with waiting.

I think the market is still in a stable state. If the price of Bitcoin drops below $60k, you might consider that situation unstable. The price drop means that Bitcoin will reach higher in the future. Consider the DIP price as a buying event only.

$60k—that's a bit low but still a reachable level considering past experience, but we don't need to wait for it to get that low before we can consider Bitcoin to be on the DIP level. Now that the market has just been struggling within $88k and $90k for the past 24 hours, I think the chances of it going below $80k for now are very low. Reclaiming $100k should be the target; we should be expecting this in the first quarter of 2026.

The downside movement of the market has really made it a very difficult one to predict. There is panic around the market about the imminent of a bear run happening now and many investors are already panicking on what to do with their funds as they don’t want the bear market to meet them in the market after hopes were replenished as Bitcoin traded within 90-100K for a very long time now. I am still seeing a more likelihood of a bear run with this recent movement around the market. So it is better to get prepared for whatever outcome that comes out of the market in the end.

The price at which Bitcoin is currently trading is low, and it would make sense to buy at this price, as the price will likely go up. A few months ago, the price of Bitcoin was very low, and many people thought it would continue to drop, but we all saw the movement of Bitcoin, which had a significant increase, and many didn't believe it would happen so soon. There will be a good increase in the price of Bitcoin this year; people just need to be patient and not panic.

Nothing new happens in this case, it's all the same thing that had happened many times ago and it's going to still happen again and again in the future. I have checked around if there is any news in the industry that had affected the price that went upward and now dropping to 88k, I could see that the price solely depends on the heavy flux of demand and supply.

It is rare that it does not only depend on prices or trends in the past because trends have begun to change and shift with new trends and will not be able to be fully guessed.
Seeing the events of the 4th Halving that have already happened, it has completely changed and there is no alt season happening like before, which is more hype and almost everything is up.

Now there are many influences happening, especially institutions that affect the fundamentals
and price of bitcoin and the government carried out by trump makes various narratives so that bitcoin rises and even falls drastically.



Looking at the chart of the 1-Month Time Frame, Bitcoin is still at a safe point, still above the Flip trend point
and the low point or which is a strong support at the price of $75,500 and that is the main defense of Bitcoin,
if that point is broken then a more extreme decline can occur because it has been retested several times.

Bitcoin only needs to cross the $100k price to reach the Uptrend Console point and this will be a positive turning point so Bullrun will soon return.
Now it only depends on fundamentals as some manipulations are also done to make the price of bitcoin plummet, as some parties want to buy bitcoin at a cheaper price.

we need to understand that the price of Bitcoin never be constant it can rise today and the fall tomorrow, what we are seeing right now in Bitcoin the price is decreasing why it increased to 95k but recently it has dropped to 89 and you to continue to drop based the market chart, the candle movement of Bitcoin is showing that the price is going to decrease more but the thing is that nobody can get the prediction of Bitcoin right because it can fall at any time and it can rise at any time so some people who are speculating the price of Bitcoin can decide to make any comments then like without investigation but they have to know that Bitcoin price never be stable

[passwordnow]

88,000$ do you think the market would definitely get lower than this?

Yes, due to volatility. Think of it always that the market can always go lower and sideways.

Actually there are lot of people who where expecting for the market to break even, but after reaching the hand of 97k Plus then a strong selling pressure came through which actually affects the exchange and to its corresponding.

We have to see it break that price once again if we want Bitcoin to push stronger and have a comeback above $100k. But with all of the political scenario that's happening with Trump and other nations especially with the issue in Greenland which is reported they'll buy out and then a lump sum of $100k per citizen. I think that Trump will order the FED to print more money and as well as sell a lot of its assets which could affect the price of Bitcoin but, we'll never know if positively or negatively.

It's difficult to predict the price of Bitcoin in 2026 – especially in January, as there are several political dynamics that continue to influence the market. We saw the market move rapidly upwards – then dump in a massive sell-off, but then gradually recover. This cycle keeps repeating itself and makes some people worried about what will actually happen. The price hit $97K a few days ago, but selling pressure came so quickly that bitcoin is now retesting its support level at $87K. However, the good news is that Bitcoin is now attempting a recovery and the $90K mark was breached within a few hours afterward.

Bitcoin market is still struggling to recover but there is likely a buying competition among the whales. Among them are volatile investors who are influencing the market. The level of volatility among retail investors, who play a key role in maintaining the long-term stability of Bitcoin prices, has decreased significantly because they are still involved in the long term investment process. Most of them have an investment target of $180k to $200k.

[Rustam Meraj]

Big argument point will exist on Bitcoin as strong push back at sell order wall of $97,000 caused huge selling and wiped out billions of borrowed bets. This cash clearing was caused by big company profit taking, increased energy costs to miners and new money fights between US and Europe making price to fall below important $90,000 mark.


Main point of market is at present, which is line in sand, and at this point the market may stay steady and try again the $97,000 area, but it may also drop further to hit $85,000 or even $74,000 mark. I think it looks like early price drop in which use of spot ETFs is giving bit of comfort and although feeling is missing trust currently, this side to side movement of $86,000 to $90,000 is natural cleaning and it usually comes before next big move.

[tygeade]

Honestly, I definitely assume it will go down a lot. I mean yeah it did went up a bit there and I did not expect that not going to lie, but the reality is that I actually do expect it to go down for the long term. This is why I will wait, because I can see under 60k happening sometime during this year, that is not questionable in my mind. So when that does happen, I am going to buy again and that way I will have nearly twice the amount as I had around ATH, and that would be good investment.

Still, I wish that my waiting to be going prolong like bitcoin to be testing $100k level by this weekend and then new ATH to be happening by next week and I will be thanking Microstrategy for buying bitcoin for another one trillion dollars. But, when only one institution buying and no other doing that at significant quantity, I guess that  I must wait for right time to resume my DCA.

If Bitcoin dips below $80k, I believe more people will see it as an opportunity to buy rather than an opportunity to sell and that will make the price pump.
It's just a personally observation though, I have no data to back it up.

Im also quite confident that Bitcoin will soon return to $100k instead of falling to $60k in this first quarter. However, to me, that is just a dead cat bounce, not a sign of a new bull market.
If the macroeconomic situation remains unchanged, geopolitical tension will persist, and demand for metals will continue to rise. Any recovery in bitcoin is just a bigger trap.

Bitcoin's volatility is not solely based on supply and demand, but is also strongly influenced by global macroeconomic factor, and manipulation. Therefore, instead of thinking that if bitcoin drops to $80k, demand will increase and the price will go up. The opposite could also happen if geopolitical tensions increase or large investor want price to fall more sharply.

[Alpha Marine]

Bitcoin's volatility is not solely based on supply and demand, but is also strongly influenced by global macroeconomic factor, and manipulation.

Bitcoin's volatility is entirely based on demand and supply. Every other thing that happens is simply factors that affect the demand and supply of bitcoin. The geopolitical tension you talked about those are part of the factors that affect the demand for bitcoin. Geopolitical tension can make people want to either buy or sell their bitcoin. Market manipulations will make people either buy or sell their bitcoin. The macroeconomic situation you mention, too, like inflation, interest rate, monetary policies and regulations, etc all affect the demand for bitcoin.
Government policies and the cost of electricity can also affect the demand and supply of Bitcoin. These and more are factors that affect the demand for bitcoin, and it's the demand for bitcoin that determines the price.

No matter what happens, if the demand and supply of bitcoin don't change, the price of bitcoin will remain the same. There will be no movement. So when the price moves from $90k to $80k, it means the demand has dropped, and when the price moves from $90k to $100k, it means the demand has increased. Every other thing that may have caused the demand to change is just factors that affect the demand.
A change in supply can also cause the demand to change, but with Bitcoin, this is hardly ever the case because the supply mostly stays consistent for at least four years.

Why would it not? Perhaps you shouldn't make people guessing about your title and statement here as it's probably rude lol. I couldn't really figure out as it's open-ended to me but there has been a strong chance we could even get lower than that and that's for sure not that worrisome if you're just into Bitcoin over alts.

Every market is uncertain so it's probably better to stay sidelined if you're not sure of the market, there has been macro happenings around the world and looks like risks assets like Bitcoin wouldn't be and exception if something is bearish even on that environment.

No one can predict exactly where Bitcoin's price will go, it's certain to fall, even below $88,000. There's no need to focus too much on the price. If you're confident that Bitcoin is a good asset, then the price isn't the issue, the focus should be on buying low for the next bullish trend.

Why not? Any reason why it cannot go lower than this.

Personally, i don't mind going below the price, it is not what i have control on, the market is unpredictable, what will matter is me going through both the ups and down in a direction that benefits my investment. I am less confident in a new ATH, but any dip is possible.
