Predictors associated with Myriad, a unit of Dastan, have adjusted their forecasts significantly for Bitcoin, now anticipating that its price will dip to $105,000 before it reaches a new all-time high of $125,000. This shift comes amid a notable downturn for the cryptocurrency, which has seen its odds for hitting the $105,000 milestone rise to 68% within the last week—a substantial increase of over 25%. Much of this momentum occurred within the past 48 hours, as odds surged more than 20% following a particularly bearish market sentiment.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading just about 4% above the critical $105,000 level, reflecting ongoing market volatility. Over the past week, Bitcoin’s value has declined by 5%, marking a pivotal moment as it falls below the $110,000 threshold for the first time since early September. Notably, this decline coincided with recent U.S. economic data revealing that core inflation remained steady at 2.9% for August.
Compounding the situation are freshly announced tariffs from President Donald Trump, which have added to market apprehension. Analysts, including Dean Chen from Bitunix, suggest that these tariffs could introduce unexpected inflationary pressures while simultaneously hampering economic growth, leaving risk assets under increasing strain.
This week has been particularly challenging for the crypto market, with over $162 billion in market value evaporating. Bitcoin has managed only a slight gain of roughly one percentage point since the beginning of September, a month historically known for its struggles. The cryptocurrency has averaged a drop of 3.77% each September since 2013, indicating a potentially tough road ahead.
For Bitcoin to reverse its current trend and edge back toward its previous all-time high of $124,118, it would need to appreciate about 14%. As it stands now, its position just 4% above the $105,000 threshold raises questions about the market’s near-term trajectory and the prospect of a significant recovery. With Myriad’s trading volume exceeding $300,000, various market participants will be closely monitoring upcoming movements in Bitcoin’s price to gauge potential outcomes.
