Bitcoin Rally Loses Momentum: Could A Drop To $75,000 Signal The Final Correction?

Since Donald Trump’s election victory on November 5, Bitcoin (BTC)
has experienced a substantial rally, reaching record highs above
$108,000. However, this momentum has recently faltered, with the
cryptocurrency dropping below the critical $100,000 mark, This has
prompted analysts to speculate on a potential deeper correction
with some experts believing Bitcoin could dip to levels around
$85,000 or even $75,000 before resuming its upward trajectory. Is
It A Temporary Setback Or The Calm Before A Final Surge? Analyst
Morecryptoonl highlights that the current market dynamics suggest a
substantial likelihood of Bitcoin moving toward $85,000. This
projection stems from the observation that the recent wave of price
action lacked the strength typically seen in bullish trends,
failing to reach key extension levels. The “overlapping and
corrective nature” of the rally highlighted by the analyst further
supports the idea that a significant pullback may be imminent.
Should this scenario unfold, it could represent the last major
correction of the current bull market, setting the stage for a
final surge in prices. Related Reading: Ethereum To Outpace Solana
In 2025, Bitwise CIO Asserts Technical analyst Rekt Capital offers
a contrasting perspective, asserting that the perception of Bitcoin
at $75,000 as a favorable entry point is relative to its current
price of approximately $97,000. Rekt Capital further suggests
that what seems like a bargain now may not have appeared as
attractive when Bitcoin was previously at that level. Despite
the bearish sentiment from some experts, others see the recent
price correction as a significant buying opportunity. Analyst
VirtualBacon argues that the market’s reaction to Bitcoin’s drop
from $108,000 to $96,000 has been “exaggerated.” Is Bitcoin
Preparing For New Record Highs? VirtualBacon asserts that
this decline is not indicative of a market collapse but rather a
healthy consolidation phase within an ongoing bull market.
Historical data supports this view, as corrections of this nature
often precede new highs. Key support levels, such as the weekly 21
exponential moving average (EMA) around $79,000 and the daily 200
EMA near $73,000, remain intact, suggesting that even a brief dip
to these levels would not destabilize the overall bullish
structure. Related Reading: 400 Billion Shiba Inu Moved: Is A SHIB
Price Crash Coming? The underlying economic conditions also play a
crucial role in shaping Bitcoin’s future, according to
VirtualBacon. The recent Federal Reserve (Fed) actions, including a
modest rate cut and a cautious approach to monetary policy, suggest
a stable economic environment. While the Fed continues its
policy of quantitative tightening (QT), the expectation is that
this will not persist indefinitely. The rising US debt crisis is
likely to necessitate a return to quantitative easing (QE), which
has historically fueled bullish trends in crypto markets. In
summary, the recent dip in Bitcoin’s price is viewed by many as a
temporary setback rather than the end of the bull market. As long
as Bitcoin maintains its position above critical support levels,
the bullish trend remains intact. At the time of writing, BTC
is trading at $97,720, down 3% for the 24-hour period and over 2%
for the week. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from
