Bitcoin price isn’t done just yet. But the state of Bitcoin news recently hasn’t been pretty.

Let’s look at my tragic track record for 2025:

  • I didn’t make it with crypto.
  • I didn’t make it with YouTube, TikTok, Twitch livestreaming.
  • I didn’t even make it via cams and degenerate Onlyfans.
  • I’m 28, Idon’t own a house, apartment, or even my own car.

It’s unironically over; everything I have ever tried to do in life has failed.  But hey, we still have Bitcoin Bitcoin 1.06% Bitcoin Bitcoin BTC Price $63,343.54 1.06% /24h Volume in 24h $16.24B Price 7d Learn more !

Bitcoin may be trading in the high-$80K range, but thankfully, one of the market’s most consistent bottom indicators just fired again.

New CryptoQuant data shows the Short-Term Holder SOPR dropped to 0.94 in November, signaling that recent buyers have begun realizing losses despite BTC holding between $80K and $90K. Here’s what’s next for BTC:

What’s Next For Bitcoin Price? Technical Structure Points to Compression Before Expansion

Market Cap

CryptoQuant reads the drop as simple loss-taking, not a break in the machine. When the SOPR dips below 1.0 it has followed the same script for years: fast sell pressure, rotation of liquidity, and a bounce once the panic sellers clear out.

Moreover, it seems the MicroStrategy FUD that the company was insolvent is bunk. The company came out saying, “If $BTC drops to our $74K average cost basis, we still have 5.9x assets to convertible debt, which we refer to as the BTC Rating of our debt. At $25K BTC, it would be 2.0x.”

Glassnode’s numbers point the same way. Short-term wallets are dumping underwater, but long-term holders barely move. Exchange inflows tick up, yet outflows still lead. DeFi Llama shows open interest holding steady, a sign this wasn’t a derivatives unwind.

The broader backdrop fits as it stands. Traders are shifting toward a possible Fed easing cycle in early 2026. FRED data shows credit conditions loosening and Treasury volatility sliding from Q3 highs.

On the technical side, BTC continues to grind inside a mild ascending channel. Higher lows support the structure even though momentum remains choppy.

Support sits between 86,900 and 87,200, with a deeper floor near 86,000 if pressure spills over. Resistance is at 88,200–88,500, and the real ignition point waits just above 88,900, where a clean break could flip momentum hard. BTC is holding just above the 20-day and 200-day SMAs, both stacked near 87,300.

Volume is thin, which means the next move won’t be subtle. A push through 89K confirms the break. Until then, the ascending channel keeps the structure intact, and the pressure points higher.
