Bitcoin: In the eye of the hurricane or is it the offer of the century? 🎢
The world of cryptocurrencies seems to have awakened with a monumental hangover. Just a few months ago, in October 2025, the headlines were celebrating a historic milestone: Bitcoin was nearing $126,000. Investors were toasting, the memes of 'Bitcoin to the moon' flooded social media, and optimism was the currency of choice.
But today, the landscape is a 'sea of blood'. The screens of the exchanges are tinged with a deep red after a drop that has brought the price down to $60,000. In the blink of an eye, half the value of the world's most famous cryptocurrency has evaporated. It has left many of us wondering: what happened to the Bitcoin at $120k? When will it be time to enter the market?
What caused the crash? 🏛️
To understand this crash, we shouldn't look at the Bitcoin code, but at what's happening in the "real world". Three major waves hit the boat simultaneously:
Geopolitical Factors: After the initial euphoria over pro-crypto promises, the reality of new trade tariffs and international tensions has made investors seek refuge in gold, silver, and other historical safe assets, abandoning riskier assets.
A new direction at the Fed: The nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve has sent a "hardline" message against inflation. The market fears that money will stop being cheap; and when money is expensive, investors prefer the safety of banks or safe assets over crypto volatility.
Exit of Institutions: Bitcoin ETFs have seen massive capital outflows. When large funds sell to cover withdrawals, the selling pressure is so strong that the retail market can't stop it.
The $60,000 Wall: Why is it a sacred number? 🛡️
In technical analysis, $60,000 represents the most important "floor" of recent years for key reasons:
Mining Costs: For companies that mine "create" Bitcoins, the cost of electricity and equipment hovers around $65,000. Below $60k, many become unprofitable, which historically tends to mark the end of downtrends.
Market Memory: This area was the springboard that propelled the price to $100k last year. Returning here is going back to the "starting line."
Cleanup of Speculators: This drop has liquidated billions of dollars in risky bets, leaving the market in the hands of long-term vision investors.
The mirror of the past: Which crisis does it resemble the most? 🔍
Even though fear is high, analysts agree that this crisis resembles more the correction of late 2021 (when the price dropped from 65k to 15k) than a total collapse. Just like back then, we're not facing a technological failure, but a macroeconomic adjustment. People are selling because they need cash in a high-interest world, not because Bitcoin has stopped working.
Scenarios for the upcoming months: What to expect? 🔮
Based on historical patterns, two main paths are proposed:
Scenario What will happen in the coming days/months in Probability:
A: The Golden Cat Bounce
The price defends $60,000 and, after a few weeks of calm, bounces back to $85,000. Or more.
B: The Descent into the Abyss
If the $60k floor breaks, the price could seek $40,000, forcing a wait of 6 to 8 months for recovery.
Conclusion:
Bitcoin has reminded us that it's not a straight path to wealth. We're at a defining moment: for some, it's the end of the bubble; for others, it's the best deal they'll see in years. The question remains: Do you have the stomach to weather the storm?
Personally, I recommend not using leverage or maintaining a safe scenario; don't be part of the liquidations, and also be careful with shorts; don't become part of the statistics.
