<p><a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> is retracing after finding strong resistance just below $100K. It’s now trading around $93,000.</p>
<p>However, despite BTC’s dip, some altcoins are continuing to show strong growth.&nbsp;</p>
<p>One such coin is Pepe Unchained, which has now raised over $54 million in its ICO as investors continue to back the new meme coin.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="btc-crashes-amidst-profit-taking-and-leverage-flush"><strong>BTC crashes amidst profit-taking and leverage flush&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<p>Bitcoin came within just a few hundred dollars of hitting $100K this week but is now falling.</p>
<p>Its recent rally followed Trump’s win in the US presidential election, but analysts suspect long-term holders used this momentum to take profits – especially since the $100K mark was expected to provide strong resistance.</p>
<p>Andre Dragosch, head of research for asset management firm Bitwise, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/25/bitcoin-btc-march-to-100000-stalls-heres-whats-going-on.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a>:</p>
<p>“Long-term holders have started to distribute significant amounts of bitcoins into the recent rally.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, he underlined that “this could be a bull market correction rather than a change in trend,” and that “bitcoin valuations are still far away from being excessive.”</p>
<p>But it’s not just spot positions that cause the Bitcoin price to decline.</p>
<p>Market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock tweeted that Bitcoin’s funding rates were too high, which may have contributed to the retracement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, the post also noted that funding rates have returned to base level, potentially allowing the Bitcoin rally to resume.</p>

<p>This follows a mass <a href="https://x.com/RadarHits/status/1860709562136826111" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">liquidation event</a> on Sunday, during which $560 million in leveraged positions were wiped off the market in four hours.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="analyst-lays-out-btc-bull-case"><strong>Analyst lays out BTC bull case</strong></h2>
<p>After hitting a low of $90.7K on Wednesday, Bitcoin has begun to climb again – it is currently trading at $93.3K.</p>
<p>It remains 6.65% from its Saturday all-time high (ATH), but analysts suggest the bottom is in.</p>
<p>Miles Deutscher provided several arguments for Bitcoin’s upward ascent, including the fact that December is a historically bullish month for crypto, and Trump’s win provides a tailwind for significant growth in the market.</p>
<p>Alongside other things, he also noted that Trump’s inauguration day is 20 January, and it’s probable that the Bitcoin price will rally in the lead-up.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Microstrategy CEO and Bitcoin proponent Michael Saylor alluded that Bitcoin’s current position is similar that of November 2020.</p>
<p>He noted that Bitcoin rejected $20K back then, only to surge beyond it two weeks later. He said that $20K was a “psychological barrier,” which is exactly what $100K is today.</p>

<p>Bitcoin’s retracement from $99K is not only expected but also healthy. With the leverage flush, the next upward ascent can now last longer without the impending fear of a mass liquidation event at any moment.</p>
<p>This weeks Bitcoin selloff has triggered market-wide derisking, but presale crypto Pepe Unchained has continued to attract investment.</p>
<p>As Bitcoin and the broader market recovers, this puts PEPU in an advantageous position for growth.</p>

<p>The meme coin generator is called Pepe Pump Pad and will allow anyone to launch a meme coin in minutes without coding. Considering it will have access to Ethereuem’s vast liquidity infrastructure, this creates a perfect environment for teams to launch new projects.</p>
<p>Analysts are going wild over this. In a recent video, ClayBro said that it could be the “top meme coin of 2025.”</p>

<p>It has a unique advantage in that it’s more than just a meme coin – it’s an entire ecosystem. And that’s precisely what presale investors are betting on.</p>
<p>The PEPU token will list on tier-1 exchanges in 16 days, so would-be buyers should act quickly.</p>
