Amid a widespread crypto market downturn, liquidations surged beyond $1 billion** as Bitcoin plunged below **$95,000, dragging altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) into deeper corrections (8%–25%). While pullbacks are typical in market cycles, investors now question: How severe will this BTC correction be?
Will the Crypto Crash Drive BTC Below $80,000?
Analysts Predict 25% Drop to $80K
Bitcoin’s price has breached the $100K support level**, prompting analysts to forecast a **25% decline** from its all-time high of **$108K. Renowned crypto strategist Rekt Capital observed:
“Those dismissing -25% to -30% pullbacks should revisit the -34% correction from March–August 2025 or the multiple -25% dips during that period.”
A Bearish Engulfing Candle on Bitcoin’s weekly chart signals further downside risk. Rekt Capital warns that losing the $101.2K weekly support could trigger a prolonged correction phase.
Critical BTC Support Zones
As of writing, Bitcoin trades at $93,828** (-9%), with **$327M in 24H liquidations. Analyst Ali Martinez identifies $98,830–$95,830 as a pivotal demand zone, where 1.09M wallets accumulated 1.16M BTC.
Despite the drop, Bitcoin’s Fear & Greed Index (62) lingers in "Greed." Analyst Justin Bennett links the crash to a rising Dollar Index (DXY), predicting:
“110.00 DXY could mark the crypto bottom by early 2025.”
