Bitcoin slid sharply this week, dropping toward the mid-$90,000 range and briefly wiping out its year-to-date gains. Its price currently trades near $91,353, supported by daily volume above $73 billion, keeping BTC firmly positioned as the market’s largest digital asset with a valuation above $1.82 trillion.
The decline has rattled traders, but new technical signals suggest the story may be shifting faster than sentiment implies.
Death Cross Sparks Bottom Talk
Crypto analyst Colin drew attention after confirming that Bitcoin has now triggered a death cross, where the 50-day SMA slips below the 200-day SMA. While this pattern is traditionally seen as bearish, Colin argues the context makes it “ironically bullish.”
The crossover aligned precisely with Bitcoin touching the lower boundary of its megaphone pattern, a structure that has historically marked trend exhaustion rather than continuation.
Colin noted that the timing matched projections made weeks earlier, with mid-November acting as the anticipated pivot point. He believes the setup favors a rebound, adding that the Federal Reserve ending quantitative tightening on December 1 introduces another potential catalyst.
Market Dynamics Add Pressure
The sell-off deepened as leveraged long positions unwound rapidly, accelerating the downturn. BTC has now entered a zone where traders often reassess risk rather than abandon it. The question is whether this bounce turns into a push toward new highs or simply a temporary correction in a broader downtrend.
Key factors shaping sentiment include:
- Marketwide deleveraging
- Slowing risk appetite across tech assets
- Fed policy uncertainty heading into December
Bitcoin Technical Outlook: Risk still active but recovery brewing
Bitcoin is approaching a major daily demand zone between $83,800 and $75,000, which has generated strong rallies twice this year. Price is still moving inside a descending channel, but momentum is slowing. The RSI near 30 shows early signs of seller fatigue, while long lower wicks hint at buy-side testing.
A rebound toward $99,000 remains plausible, with a breakout above $103,000 opening room toward $115,000. Traders are watching for a bullish engulfing candle or an EMA crossover to confirm the turn.
For now, the setup is simple: accumulation inside the demand zone with upside targets between $103K and $115K. If risk appetite returns, Bitcoin, Ethereum and high-beta assets like SOL may lead the next phase higher.
Bitcoin Hyper: The Next Evolution of BTC on Solana?
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is bringing a new phase to the Bitcoin ecosystem. While BTC remains the gold standard for security, Bitcoin Hyper adds what it always lacked: Solana-level speed. The result: lightning-fast, low-cost smart contracts, decentralized apps, and even meme coin creation, all secured by Bitcoin.
Audited by Consult, the project emphasizes trust and scalability as adoption builds. And momentum is already strong. The presale has surpassed $28 million, with tokens priced at just $0.013295 before the next increase.
As Bitcoin activity climbs and demand for efficient BTC-based apps rises, Bitcoin Hyper stands out as the bridge uniting two of crypto’s biggest ecosystems. If Bitcoin built the foundation, Bitcoin Hyper could make it fast, flexible, and fun again.
