Following the peak of Bitcoin at $126,000 in October 2025, the leading cryptocurrency has experienced a significant downturn. This prolonged phase of price decline has caused some prominent Bitcoin analysts to lose faith and adopt a pessimistic view regarding its future.
Changing Analyst Perspectives Amidst Bitcoin’s Prolonged Stagnation
The founder of CryptoQuant, Ki Young Ju, pointed out that there is a noticeable shift in sentiment among top analysts as their outlook on Bitcoin turns increasingly negative. This trend indicates that the extended period of price stagnation—often referred to as consolidation—has raised alarm bells within the community.
Younger Ju expressed his feelings about this change by stating he now feels somewhat isolated in his optimistic stance towards Bitcoin’s potential recovery. “My favorite analysts have turned bearish. I feel lonely,” he remarked.
A growing number of experts are predicting further declines rather than any upward movement for BTC, leading to a decrease in those who remain hopeful about its resurgence.

Recently, Robert Kiyosaki—a well-known entrepreneur and author famous for “Rich Dad Poor Dad”—expressed doubts about his confidence in Bitcoin. Historically an advocate for purchasing Bitcoin as protection against inflation, Kiyosaki surprised many when he liquidated part of his holdings to pursue other investments.
An even more alarming sign was Kiyosaki’s lack of commentary on Bitcoin across his social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Unlike previous bullish phases where he frequently shared insights on the cryptocurrency, there has been an unsettling silence from him this time around.
Despite prevailing negative sentiments surrounding Bitcoin’s market performance, Ki Young Ju remains unconvinced by this bearish consensus among peers. While not making any definitive predictions regarding when or if prices will rise again, he continues to hold a positive outlook on the coin’s future prospects.
Certain optimists within the crypto community are also refusing to abandon hope for a rebound in Bitcoin’s value. They argue that current lower prices present an excellent opportunity for investors looking to accumulate more assets since such downturns often precede significant rallies based on historical trends.
The Technical Landscape Presents Challenges Despite Long-Term Hopefulness
At present levels, Bitcoin‘s trading price stands at $87,448.61—a drop of 1.36% over the past day—with losses exceeding $2K during this timeframe and trading volume down by 16.9%, totaling approximately $27.8 billion.
The technical analysis indicates potential risks with forecasts suggesting that prices could fall further down towards $67K due to an impending death cross formation appearing on charts.
This anticipated decline may not be drastic since support levels exist between current pricing and projected lows; specifically at around $80K and $74K respectively.
