On December 15, 2025, during early U.S. trading, Bitcoin fell sharply from near $90,000 to a two-week low at $86,700, coinciding with a surge in liquidations totaling $210 million in one hour and $450 million over 24 hours. Altcoins retreated as well: ETH slid 4.4% toward $3,000 amid warnings of $2,500, XRP lost $2.00 after a 3% drop, and BNB and SOL each fell 4%.

Bitcoin has retreated from around $126,000 to about $90,000 since early October, and analyst Mr. Wall Street believes a larger downturn may follow after a rebound toward $100,000. He cites weakening US economic data, delayed Federal Reserve easing, and multiple bearish technical signals as reasons for expecting BTC to slide first toward the $68,000–$74,000 zone and potentially down to $54,000–$60,000 by the fourth quarter of 2026. Another analyst, Doctor Profit, also maintains that Bitcoin is still in a bear market and has not yet found a bottom.

Bitcoin has been sliding lower after repeatedly failing to break the $95K resistance, keeping price action choppy and biased to the downside. Technical indicators on both the daily and 4-hour charts show BTC trading within bearish structures, with $88K as a key near-term support and a broader demand area around $80K. On-chain aSOPR is trending toward the 1.0 threshold, suggesting that a decisive break lower could trigger loss-taking and potential capitulation before any rebound.
