Bitcoin Price Tanks Below $97K as Analyst Warns the Worst Is Yet to Come

The total crypto market cap is down by roughly $200 billion daily.

Despite the positive developments on a macro front, such as the US government reopening, BTC’s quite unfavorable price actions continued in the past 12 hours or so as the asset plunged to a new multi-month low.

The cryptocurrency stood above $107,000 just three days ago after Trump promised to send tariff checks of at least $2,000 to some Americans and hinted that the government shutdown might end soon. However, bitcoin failed to capitalize on this momentum and quickly dipped back to $103,000.

Nevertheless, it rebounded to $105,000 on Wednesday before the bears took complete control of the market, especially on Thursday. The POTUS signed legislation to reopen the government, which was first followed by an immediate bounce, but the landscape changed for the worse shortly after.

In less than a day, bitcoin dumped by more than eight grand and currently struggles below $97,000, which is the lowest it has been since early May.

Doctor Profit, who has been bearish on the asset for weeks, believes the worst is yet to come by predicting another nosedive to somewhere around $90,000 and $94,000.

The altcoins have followed suit with multiple double-digit price declines. AAVE, ENA, RENDER, SUI, PEPE, and LINK are also down by more than 12%. Even the largest of the bunch has plunged by over 11% and now struggles well below $3,200.
