BlackRock: Bitcoin Death Cross Signals Potential Market Bottom

BLK

Bitcoin has formed a death cross—its 50-day moving average falling below the 200-day—after a ~25% drop from its October all-time high to around $94,000.
Each previous death cross in the current cycle corresponded with a local bottom at $25,000 (Sept 2023), $49,000 (Aug 2024) and $75,000 (Apr 2025).
Analysts outline two scenarios: a quick rebound within days or a deeper decline into a bear market lasting until late 2026 with prices potentially falling to $37,000–$57,000.
Nearly 10,000 BTC have recently moved onto exchanges, adding downward pressure as traders reassess the rally.
The scheduled end of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s quantitative tightening on December 1 could catalyze a near-term bounce in digital assets.
