Bitcoin’s price continues to face downward pressure, with over 2.6 million BTC currently held at a loss. The cryptocurrency market has experienced increased volatility, with Bitcoin dipping 11% to $97,300, triggering concerns among investors and analysts. The drop comes amid broader market uncertainty, raising speculation about whether the digital asset can recover in the short term.

Technical analysts have pointed out key resistance and support levels that could determine Bitcoin’s next move. Despite attempts at recovery, the asset struggles to gain upward momentum, with indicators suggesting potential further declines. Analysts warn that if Bitcoin fails to hold above critical support levels, another leg down could be imminent.

Meanwhile, the market has also witnessed an unusual divergence, as Trump Coin, a politically themed digital asset, surged by 10% on Thursday, capturing investor interest. The contrasting movements highlight the speculative nature of the crypto market, where sentiment-driven assets can experience rapid shifts in value.

Bitcoin’s recent downturn follows a period of strong price performance, leading many to question whether the current correction is a temporary pullback or the start of a prolonged bear phase. Factors such as macroeconomic trends, institutional sentiment, and regulatory developments will likely play a crucial role in determining Bitcoin’s trajectory in the coming weeks.

While some analysts remain optimistic about a potential rebound, others caution that the cryptocurrency could face continued selling pressure, particularly if broader economic uncertainties persist. Traders and investors are advised to watch market developments closely as Bitcoin navigates a crucial phase in its price action.
