Bitcoin Edges Towards $100K as Analysts Anticipate Market Shift
Bitcoin fluctuates around $111,900 following a 10% decrease over the past week, as analysts predict a potential pullback with $100K in sight.
Bitcoin is currently priced at approximately $111,500, following a 4% decline in the last 24 hours and a 10% drop over the past week, as reported from CoinGecko data.
Price movements are currently confined to a broad range, demonstrating significant volatility yet lacking a definitive trend.
BTC Faces Resistance, Holds Support
Recently, Bitcoin was turned away from the $115,500-$116,000 region, which had acted as a support previously but now serves as resistance. The $119,500 mark remains crucial for bulls aiming to challenge new highs, while $107,300 is being monitored as a support threshold, with deeper interest existing between $103,900 and $100,800.
“Nothing extraordinary about today’s correction of #Bitcoin. Just some typical fluctuations occurring here, as volatility is likely to stay elevated until a new trend is clearly established.” — Michaël van de Poppe, @CryptoMichNL October 14, 2025
Michaël commented further on the existing setup, indicating there is “nothing special” surrounding the latest market shifts, implying the price may continue oscillating within the current range for some time.
Trading volumes remain steady, suggesting active engagement from traders, though the market hasn’t endorsed a distinct direction.
$100K on the Horizon? Analyst Maps Potential Declines
Analyst Ali Martinez illustrated a chart indicating that Bitcoin might experience further declines if it fails to maintain current support levels. His analysis suggests potential drop points at $108,000 and $106,500, with the lowest forecasted level being $101,800.
Additionally, Ted highlighted that BTC faced rejections around $116,000 and indicated the $110,000-$111,000 area as the next significant concern. He observed that:
“If Bitcoin sustains this level, we may witness a recovery.”
Conversely, if it falters, a movement towards $107,000 could ensue.
Sentiment Erodes to Multi-Year Lows
Recent social metrics reveal a significant drop in Bitcoin sentiment, with Ali Martinez posting a sentiment reading of -1.55, the lowest in years, a drop that followed the swift decline due to trade tension news.
Despite prevailing negative sentiment, some analysts maintain that the structure of the market holds steady. A detailed review by XWIN Research Japan emphasized that historical liquidation events have consistently been succeeded by recoveries, stating:
“Mass liquidations are no longer indicators of collapse but rather cleansing phases.”

Bitcoin’s most recent downturn eliminated nearly $19 billion in open interest, with reports suggesting that leverage has been reset, funding rates have normalized, and spot buying activity is returning.
