Bitcoin price crash calls are coming from self-serving sellers: Analyst
2 min read
Some traders who are warning about an upcoming Bitcoin correction might be driven more by self-interest than by an unbiased view of the market, according to a Bitcoin analyst.
“If you sold, you really want lower prices,” Bitcoin analyst PlanC said on the Mr. M Podcast
However, data from sentiment platform Santiment shows overall social media sentiment for Bitcoin (BTC) is 57.78% positive, 15.80% neutral, and 26.42% negative.
PlanC said that Bitcoin’s recent price decline below the psychological $100,000 price level to $98,000 may have been the local bottom for now.
PlanC forecasts a “decent chance” that Bitcoin just reached a bottom
“I think there is a good chance, again, it is hard to quantify exact probabilities, but from my perspective, there is a decent chance that was the major bottom,” PlanC said.
“If it wasn’t, I don’t see us going down much lower,” he added. Bitcoin has since rebounded to $103,562, according to CoinMarketCap, but PlanC cautioned that another brief pullback could still occur.

“Maybe we go for one more scare over the coming week or so lower,” he explained. “Maybe we go down to like 95 or something, right?” he added.
It comes on the back of more bearish forecasts from analysts over the past week.
Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone said in an X post on Thursday that Bitcoin hitting $100,000 could be “a speed bump toward $56,000.”
Meanwhile, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood cut her long-term Bitcoin price projection by $300,000.
