Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin Faces $80K Turning Point: Will a Short Squeeze Ignite or Is a Further Decline Ahead?
- Bitcoin fell below $80,000 in November 2025, triggering debates over short-squeeze rebounds vs. deeper bear markets amid macroeconomic fears and ETF outflows. - A "death cross" technical signal and $800M in on-chain losses highlight market fragility, with $1T wiped from crypto since October. - Analysts remain divided: bullish targets ($200K) clash with bearish warnings of $74,500 retests, while institutions like Harvard buy dips. - Negative funding rates suggest short-covering potential, but $20B in liqu
Bitcoin’s sharp drop toward the $80,000 mark
By November 22, 2025,
Negative funding rates in perpetual futures have become a crucial signal for possible short-term reversals. As
Expert opinions remain sharply split. Optimists, such as Standard Chartered and Bitwise Asset Management, still predict Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, pointing to institutional interest and the possibility of Federal Reserve rate cuts. On the other hand, more cautious analysts believe BTC may trade sideways between $80,000 and $100,000 through December, with Harvard University’s recent $443 million allocation to spot Bitcoin ETFs suggesting some big players see value in buying the dip. Meanwhile, bearish forecasts warn that if selling continues, Bitcoin could revisit its April 2025 low near $74,500.
The market’s vulnerability is highlighted by crypto funds experiencing outflows for a third straight week, totaling $3 billion, and the “Support Becoming Resistance” effect, where investors sell near their entry price, limiting recovery potential. Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy, however, has reaffirmed his $150,000 year-end target, viewing BTC as a corporate reserve asset as more companies like Japan’s Metaplanet adopt it.
Several major risks remain. A worsening global economic slowdown, regulatory changes, or a drop in institutional demand could prolong the slump. Conversely, an unexpected Fed rate cut or renewed ETF inflows could spark a rapid rally—though some analysts see this as highly unlikely given current market instability.
At present, traders are closely watching whether BTC can hold the $80,000–$82,000 support area. A decisive move below $75,000 would likely confirm an extended bear market, while a quick rebound to $90,000 could trigger renewed short-covering and speculative activity.
