Bitcoin has seemingly been hovering around the $115,000 mark indefinitely. However, a prominent trader in the cryptocurrency space believes that this trend is on the verge of a significant shift, potentially leading to much lower prices.
Ansem recently released a chart indicating a clear downward trajectory for Bitcoin’s price, predicting it could plummet to $88,000 by year-end.
The key point in Ansem’s analysis highlights just below $116,000—a zone he refers to as a “daily bearish breaker.” This area has previously seen sellers regain control and appears poised for another similar outcome.

Rather than climbing higher from its current position, Bitcoin seems to have stagnated. The forecast suggests a gradual decline through the $110,000 range and down into approximately $100,700—a level that served as significant support earlier this summer. While bulls may attempt to rally at this point, indications suggest it may not hold for long.
What Lies Ahead for Bitcoin?
According to Ansem’s insights, BTC is expected to experience further declines with several critical levels along the way: $96,876; $93,576; and $91,660. These points have historically provided some bounce-back potential but are now viewed more as hurdles on its descent.
The primary focus within his chart is at around $88,765—an area coinciding with both quarterly openings and an extended consolidation phase traders recall from earlier this year. Should Bitcoin reach this threshold again from its current trading value it would represent roughly a 25% drop.
A drastic fall of such magnitude would likely catch many off guard in an environment characterized by ETF discussions and substantial inflows into the market. Nevertheless Ansem’s observations indicate that the prevailing structure appears bearish. If these patterns continue as predicted，the next major movement for Bitcoin might not be upward but rather towards that alarming figure of $88，000.
