Bitcoin is currently struggling to reclaim the $88,000 mark in a volatile market environment. With several global economic factors at play, including the anticipation of an address by Trump to the nation and discussions with Waller about the Federal Reserve Chair appointment, the <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/why-are-cryptocurrencies-rising/" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrency market</a> is in a state of flux. A notable <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/market-uncertainty-drives-predictions-for-xrp-pepe-and-solana/" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto analyst</a> remains firm in their bearish predictions, warning that if these come true, significant disruptions may occur in the altcoin market.
<h2 id="the-prospects-for-bitcoin-decline">The Prospects for Bitcoin Decline</h2>
Key factors contributing to potential negative developments in the <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/hackers-steal-1-4-billion-what-happens-next/" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto market</a> over the next month are looming large. These include a ruling by the high court, the classification of cryptocurrency reserve companies by MSCI as funds, and a possible interest rate hike by Japan. As Japan is set to announce its decision on Friday, the U.S. inflation report being released this week also adds to the pressure on cryptocurrencies.
As a result of these factors, risk appetite in the crypto markets has diminished, leading Bitcoin to lose its $88,000 support level as predicted. Although Roman Trading anticipated a weak bounce from the bottom, which occurred, the crypto soothsayer has reiterated their $76,000 target.

“Bull waves formed, volume declined during the drop. I predicted this bounce perfectly; however, I doubt this will lead to anything serious. In the near future, Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $76,000,” the analyst stated.

Mark Cullen believes that the concentrated short liquidity above $95,000 will soon be cleared, potentially driving about an $8,000 increase from that region. Before this, a smaller correction might occur around $83,000. If his predictions hold true, the major short liquidation could push spot prices above $98,000.

Mark’s forecasts do not significantly differ on the technical analysis front either.

“Yesterday’s sell-off caused BTC to reach the Fib golden zone. I would like to see a bounce and a higher low, but due to the continued pain, the low levels from late November will likely be revisited,” he said.
With the U.S. inflation figures due on Thursday and Japan’s interest rate decision on Friday, the crypto market faces continued pressure. This reinforces Mark’s expectations for a short-term dip.
