The slowdown in digital gold has hurt the broader crypto market. Many businesses are wondering whether they should continue to hold their crypto or start selling.
Its price hit $103,000 on Saturday, but has since fallen 0.33% in the last 24 hours. Additionally, it is down over 7% on the weekly charts.

Analyzing the price action of BTC on the daily chart, a head and shoulders pattern has formed, signaling a move towards lower prices. The first spike appeared when BTC failed to hold above $110,000 and then climbed to $114,000 before sellers pushed it down.
On November 4, BTC fell 5% and broke a critical support line, confirming the downtrend.
Since buyers have not been able to resist the selling pressure, the carrying pressure may persist in the future. If BTC falls below its key support at $100,000, it could fall further to $94,000 or even $87,000, where buyers have already stepped in.
$BTC is still consolidating around the $102,000 level.

Nonetheless, near-term price recoveries are possible if buyers begin targeting lower levels, which could temporarily stabilize the market.

BTC’s $100,000 price level has become a major battleground between buyers and sellers, as this level has emotional significance and is currently being watched by industry hawks.
Since the start of 2025, BTC’s journey has been anything but smooth. It started the year with $100,000, fell to $75,000, then created its ATH at $126,000 in October.

But hopes of a rally through October were short-lived as BTC declined significantly from its ATH, essentially returning to where it started.
For the future, forecasts vary considerably. Analyst Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered, for example, suggested that $100,000 could be BTC’s final decline.

Thorn believes, however, that attention will once again return to BTC, particularly because of its reputation as digital gold. At the same time, JPMorgan analysts noted how BTC’s risk profile is improving relative to gold.
