Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: Where Could It Be Heading Next?
Bitcoin, the first and most famous cryptocurrency, has been on a rollercoaster ride lately. After reaching a super high price of nearly $109,300, Bitcoin took a big dip, losing over 21% of its value and dropping to around $87,534 by late February 2025[3]. This sudden drop has everyone talking about where Bitcoin might go next.
What’s Happening in the Bitcoin Market?
Bitcoin’s Price Drop
Bitcoin’s price drop has been caused by a few things. Some people think it’s because of worries about the global economy and problems between countries[3]. President Donald Trump’s plans for new taxes on imports have also made people nervous[3]. Plus, people have been taking their money out of Bitcoin ETFs, which might have added to the price drop[3].
Technical Analysis: The Wyckoff Model
Some experts who study the market closely are looking at something called the Wyckoff reaccumulation model. This model says that Bitcoin might be getting ready for another big jump, like it did in August 2024 when its price went up by 40%[3]. But right now, Bitcoin is in a phase called “Test,” where it’s trying to stay above a certain price level[3].
Where Could Bitcoin Be Headed? Let’s Look at Two Charts
Chart 1: Key Support and Resistance Levels
The first chart shows the important support and resistance levels for Bitcoin. Right now, Bitcoin is having a hard time staying above the $86,813.41 support level[5]. If it can’t, it might drop even more, maybe all the way down to the $81,502.03 support level[5]. But if buyers start buying more, Bitcoin might try to go above the $88,972.37 resistance level, which could mean it’s starting to recover[5].
Chart 2: MACD and RSI Indicators
The second chart shows two important tools that help us see what’s happening with Bitcoin’s price: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). These tools have helped us guess what Bitcoin might do in the short term. Recently, they’ve been showing signs of both going up and down[5]. The RSI has also shown that Bitcoin might be oversold, which sometimes means it could go up a little bit[5].
What’s Next for Bitcoin?
As Bitcoin goes through this tough time, everyone is watching to see if it will get better or get worse. The charts show that Bitcoin’s future might depend on whether it can stay above certain prices and how the global economy does. Only time will tell if Bitcoin will try to reach $100,000 again or if it will drop even more. One thing is for sure: the ride will be full of ups and downs!
