Bitcoin just hit a critical point: analysts split between $85K crash and $250K surge image 0
  • Bitcoin trades near $92K amid mixed signals from ETFs and tech markets.
  • Hoskinson and Saylor predict a strong BTC rebound despite recent losses.
  • ETF outflows and macro risks could, however, push BTC toward $85K support.

While Bitcoin price has recovered from the low of $88,540 hit on November 19, the question is whether it will hit a higher high than the $93,403 registered on November 18.

Some analysts believe BTC is preparing for a deeper slide, while others insist a powerful rebound is already forming beneath the surface.

At press time, BTC price was around $92,237 and already showing signs of exhaustion, which would spell doom since it formed a lower low on November 19, which is a bearish sign.

Bullish calls grow despite the slide

At $92,237, Bitcoin (BTC) is reeling from a bruising stretch that has erased more than $33,000 from its value in under two months.

Notably, today’s uptick follows a pause in ETF outflows and a rebound in tech stocks, driven by Nvidia’s stronger-than-expected earnings.

While the market remains on edge as macro uncertainty and shifting liquidity conditions continue to pressure risk assets, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson remains one of the strongest voices calling for a major rebound.

During CNBC’s Squawk Box  show  on Tuesday, Hoskinson argued that Bitcoin’s recent losses reflect broader macro distortions, including tariff tensions, recession risks, and uneven regulatory signals.

Hoskinson believes these forces will ease in the coming months.

He expects BTC to recover sharply and potentially hit $250,000 within the next year, projecting that institutional adoption and large-scale tokenisation will redefine market cycles.

Michael Saylor shares a similar level of confidence, viewing the current downturn as typical of Bitcoin’s long-term behaviour.

The MicroStrategy executive says the company is built to withstand extreme drawdowns, calling his position “indestructible” in a recent interview with Fox Business.

Notably, S aylor has continued to buy BTC even as volatility increases, reinforcing his view that deep corrections are part of the broader path toward higher valuations.

ETF activity has also become a pivotal factor.

The BlackRock Bitcoin ETF posted a record $523 million daily loss on November 18 following a streak of outflows across the spot Bitcoin ETF landscape.

The Bitcoin ETFs outflow seems to have stabilised, with IBIT seeing $60M worth of inflows on November 19.

Analysts warn that sustained inflows will be essential if Bitcoin hopes to avoid a retest of this week’s lows.

Bearish risks still loom

Not all signals point upward. Some traders see a real chance BTC could break below key support levels near $90,000.

If the market fails to hold this support, prediction platforms indicate rising expectations of a drop toward $87,000.

ETF outflows totalling more than $3 billion this month highlight lingering caution, and many retail participants remain hesitant after weeks of drawdowns.

Macro conditions remain complicated.

Expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts have faded, while recession concerns are resurfacing due to weak jobs data and ongoing trade friction.

These pressures have limited upside momentum even as Nvidia’s tech rally briefly boosted risk appetite.

Despite the uncertainty, Bitcoin continues to trade like a high-beta asset tied closely to broader market sentiment, and the next few days may determine whether buyers regain control or whether sellers will test new lows.
