The price of Bitcoin $106,280 is persistently dropping, reaching $95,500, with the negativity from earlier in the day persisting. Although the losses in altcoins are significant, they are increasing. As trading volumes recede, Bitcoin’s weakness inevitably affects altcoins, which has indeed been the case. Let’s delve into analysts’ latest comments and examine the most common mistakes new investors make.
Will Cryptocurrencies Rise?
We have published expectations based on macroeconomic calendars and news flows today. Beyond this, it is necessary to examine the technical data. In his latest assessment today, Ali Martinez received a sell signal and stated that the price of Bitcoin might experience a decline for a while.
The details of his reasoning are as follows:
“The TD Sequential has issued a sell signal on the 3-day chart, indicating it’s time for #Bitcoin $ BTC to pull back!”
Meanwhile, Moustache focuses on historical data, suggesting that even if not in the short term, a movement towards $120,000 is likely in the coming days or weeks.
“The weekly MACD is on the verge of an upward trend. In the past (2023, 2024), this has always led to strong rallies for BTC and altcoins. The structure is very similar to that period. It’s only a matter of time for BTC to move above $120,000.”
Additionally, liquidity from institutional investors continues to flow into cryptocurrency. We saw the largest inflows of the year, led by the BTC ETF, in the last two weeks. So why are institutions so eager while prices are falling?
“Crypto funds recorded the largest inflows of 2025 in the last two weeks. Smart money isn’t expecting a decline—they’re ahead in the headlines. If you sit on the sidelines too long, you’ll miss the entire movement.”
It is a well-experienced fact that cryptocurrencies rise over a sufficiently long period. However, knowing how long this negativity will continue and when the hype period will begin requires a magical crystal ball akin to those in cartoons.
Warnings for New Cryptocurrency Investors
You may have encountered cryptocurrencies in 2021 or as early as 2017. This date could go further back. And most likely, a significant portion of those reading this became interested in cryptocurrencies in the last few years. The shifting atmosphere, especially with Trump, quickly ushered in new investors.
Quinten shared his warnings for newcomers, which may be worth listening to.
“Most new investors fall into the same trap:
They buy when the market is hot. Then prices drop, they experience pain, and panic sell from the bottom. Classic flawed psychology: buy at the peak, sell at the bottom. The same playbook every time. Only very few learn from it. This is why market education is essential. Understanding cycles, being patient, and having faith are key to winning.”
Or you might be even more unlucky, and the altcoin you bought plummets to zero no matter how patient you are. The risk-reward ratio of crypto is truly at an extreme.
