Why Bitcoin Is Falling? BTC Drops to $104,000 and Could Crash 30% Lower According to This
November 4, 2025
Bitcoin (BTC) price is
falling very dynamically for the second consecutive session, losing a total of
over 5% and violating the important support zone marked by July and August
minimums.
Today (Tuesday)
November 4 2025, Bitcoin costs $104,288, a lower price than the October 17
crash, and we previously observed such low values at the end of June.
Is this the
end of the decline, or does Bitcoin still have room for further depreciation?
And if so, why Bitcoin price it going down and how low BTC can go? I explore
these questions in this article, drawing on more than ten years of experience
as a cryptocurrency analyst and investor. My latest Bitcoin price predictions,
however, are rather bearish.
Bitcoin
began November under pressure after closing out its worst October in ten years.
The cryptocurrency fell 3.69% in October, snapping a remarkable seven-year
“Uptober” streak and marking only the third time Bitcoin closed
October in the red.
On average,
October has historically delivered gains of 19.92%, while 2025 recorded a loss
of 3.69%, representing a 23.61 percentage point underperformance relative to
historical patterns.

The
broad-based decline shaved another $100 billion off total crypto market
capitalization, now hovering near $3.56 trillion, with Bitcoin falling 2.8% in
24 hours while Ethereum dropped 6% to around $3,630, Solana led losses with a
10% slide to below $160 (extending its seven-day drop to more than 20%), BNB
lost 6.4%, and XRP shed 5%.

Technical Breakdown Below
200-Day Moving Average
According
to my technical analysis, Bitcoin has fallen below the support grid marked by
the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, the 200-day exponential moving average (200
EMA), and horizontal levels. The terrain officially changes to bearish. With
the 200 EMA breakdown, Bitcoin has an open road to retesting the psychological
$100,000 level—representing June lows which combine with the 50% Fibonacci
retracement.
If this
level doesn’t hold and Bitcoin fails its ultimate test, I would expect further
and stronger Bitcoin depreciation. How low can the cryptocurrency fall,
however? At this moment, I would point to three potential levels or target
ranges.
How Low Can Bitcoin Go? BTC
Price Prediction Targets $94K, Then $77K, Ultimately $74K
My first
target is the area of the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement combined with the 100%
Fibonacci extension, stretching from $92,000 to $94,000, which coincides with
lows from late April and early May. The ultimate range of declines, however, is
this year’s April lows in the area of the $74,000-$77,000 zone, where Fibonacci
extensions again align with us, and at this moment the 161.8% level.

This would
mean that Bitcoin, according to my forecasts, could slide from current levels
by almost 30% and erase the entire upward rally observed over the last six
months when it gained a total of 70%.

Lacie
Zhang, Research Analyst at Bitget Wallet, provided a more moderate outlook:
“Market data and technical signals suggest Bitcoin may trade within a
$94,000–$118,000 range in the near term. The lower bound represents a healthy
retracement zone consistent with subdued ETF inflows, while the upper range
reflects a measured recovery below the October high near $125K.”

But Long-Term Bulls Remain
Confident
Despite the
bearish near-term technical setup, Joel Kruger, strategist at LMAX, emphasized
that the broader uptrend remains intact: “There’s been a lot of talk about
a bear market, and sentiment has certainly turned fearful. Yet when we take a
step back, the broader picture remains far more constructive and upbeat.
Despite recent volatility , nothing has changed in the underlying outlook. The
current setbacks have done little to compromise what continues to be a powerful
uptrend in Bitcoin.”
He noted
that “Bitcoin has been in a sustained uptrend since 2023. Each pullback
since that breakout has found strong support near the 50-week SMA, which also
roughly aligns with the top of the Ichimoku cloud. On two occasions since 2023,
bitcoin briefly slipped below this level, but in both cases, weekly closes
recovered swiftly back above it.”
Why Bitcoin Is Falling?
Federal Reserve
Uncertainty Dampens Risk Appetite
The Federal
Reserve’s recent actions and cautious messaging have contributed to broader
risk aversion across markets. The Fed delivered a 25-basis-point cut last week
as widely expected, but Chair Jerome Powell’s restrained tone dampened risk
appetite after he hinted that December’s cut isn’t guaranteed.
This shift
in expectations proved dramatic, the market’s probability of a cut at
December’s FOMC meeting stood as high as 96% leading up to last Wednesday’s
decision, but after Powell’s press conference, this dropped drastically to less
than 70% chance. The collapse in rate cut expectations created headwinds for
risk assets like Bitcoin that benefited from assumptions of continuous monetary
easing.
On-Chain Data Suggests
Further Weakness Ahead
BeInCrypto’s
analysis of the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric shows how much profit
or loss Bitcoin investors are holding. Currently, Bitcoin’s NUPL sits at 0.47, the
lowest level since April 8 when it fell to 0.42.
During that
earlier cycle, Bitcoin’s NUPL declined in three stages: 0.48 on February 26,
0.44 on March 10, and 0.42 on April 8, before Bitcoin rallied from $76,000 to
above $125,000.
Critical Test at Bitcoin $100,000
Psychological Level
If Bitcoin
doesn’t hold the psychological $100,000 level and fails its ultimate test, I
would expect further and stronger Bitcoin depreciation toward my identified
targets. The convergence of the 50% Fibonacci retracement, June 2025 lows, and
the major psychological threshold creates a powerful support confluence that
will likely attract significant buying interest.
However, a
sustained break below $100,000 would open the path to my first target zone at
$92,000-$94,000 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement combined with 100% Fibonacci
extension), representing late April and early May lows. From there, the
ultimate downside targets sit at $74,000-$77,000, this year’s April lows where
the 161.8% Fibonacci extension falls.
This would
mean Bitcoin could slide from current $104,288 levels by almost 30%, erasing
the entire upward rally observed over the last six months when it gained a
total of 70%.
While this
represents a severe correction, it would align with historical Bitcoin drawdown
patterns during consolidation phases within longer-term bull markets.
Bitcoin Price Analysis, FAQ
Why is Bitcoin falling
today?
Bitcoin
dropped 2.13% to $104,288 Tuesday extending second consecutive session decline
totaling over 5%, breaking below critical 200-day moving average $109,840 (now
-5.1% below fragile support), after worst October in decade (-3.69% ending
seven-year “Uptober” streak), triggered by Federal Reserve Powell
walking back December rate cut expectations (probability collapsed 96% to below
70%), $100 billion crypto market cap loss, broader altcoin crash (Ethereum -6%,
Solana -10%, XRP -5%), NUPL metric at 0.47 (lowest since April suggesting
further weakness).
How low can Bitcoin price
go?
According
to my technical analysis, Bitcoin could decline 30% from current $104,288 to
ultimate target $74,000-$77,000 (April 2025 lows + 161.8% Fibonacci extension
erasing entire six-month 70% rally), staged breakdown: immediate test $100,000
psychological level (-4.1% combining 50% Fib + June lows), first target
$92,000-$94,000 (-11.8% to -9.9% representing 61.8% Fib + 100% extension).
Will Bitcoin drop below
$100,000?
Yes, it is
possible. Bitfinex analysts warn “sustained break below $106,000-$107,000
range could send BTC back under $100,000,” while my analysis shows
breaking $100,000 (50% Fibonacci + June lows) opens path to $92,000-$94,000,
though Kruger emphasizes “$103,000 50-week SMA leaving bitcoin still
firmly in uptrend despite softness, additional weakness should be viewed as
corrective not structural,” with NUPL at 0.47 suggesting possible decline
toward 0.42-0.44 by early-mid December before accumulation phase.
Is Bitcoin a sell now?
Yes. Trading
below both 50-day EMA $113,549 (-8.9% overhead resistance) and 200-day EMA
$109,840 (broken -5.1% bearish), my analysis forecasting potential 30% decline
to $74,000-$77,000, volume 55.5% of average indicating distribution.
