Latest Crypto News: Bitcoin Ready to Bounce?

⭐ Bitcoin Is Finally Ready To Bounce Hard?

If you’ve been watching the latest crypto news, you can feel the shift happening around Bitcoin now.

Bitcoin $BTC.X ( ▼ 1.59% ) has fallen straight into a multi-month demand zone around $88k - $93k, a level that previously acted as both support and resistance throughout late 2024 and early 2025.

Price has tapped the zone with a clear overshoot wick, suggesting liquidity was grabbed below support before buyers stepped in.

Saylor Just Bought 8,178 BTC Worth 835M USD

For almost a year, the market relied on one thing to support the spot bid: Michael Saylor’s endless buying pressure.

Every time price dipped, Saylor’s company bought hundreds of millions worth of BTC, creating the illusion that demand was unstoppable.

But, over the past four purchases, the average size dropped massively, around $20M USD, and at most $100M USD per buy.

They assumed Saylor was running out of leverage and could no longer borrow aggressively to accumulate BTC.

However, Saylor has just revealed a massive new purchase of 8,178 BTC, worth $835 million USD, and this single move is enough to restore confidence across the entire market and realign Bitcoin’s price trajectory.

With a buyer of this scale stepping in, it becomes far less likely for Wall Street to continue short-selling BTC. In fact, many of those short positions will now be forced to unwind, creating the conditions for a sharp and meaningful recovery.

Fear & Greed Index Just Hit 16

Over the past two days, the Fear and Greed Index dropped to 16, a level rarely seen in Bitcoin’s history. Every time this indicator hits extreme fear, it often marks a major bottom and is followed by powerful relief rallies.

The combination of mass fear, large-scale accumulation, and short-covering pressure sets the stage for strong recovery waves ahead

This is why lots of people believe that BTC has entered a high-probability bounce zone.

However, as I explained in the Liquidity Sweep analysis, this still isn’t the right bounce-back point because this price area shows almost no historical buying interest or meaningful accumulation. In other words, it can’t be considered a true support zone on the chart.

Price is likely to continue dropping toward the major zone at $80k - 85k before any real reversal takes place. That zone carries meaningful historical demand and is far more suitable for a true market bottom.

Once Bitcoin taps that level and confirms a proper bounce, the rebound could be extremely powerful with projections suggesting a move that may reach as high as $240k in the next major leg.

Besides, Trump’s stimulus package has now been pushed to the middle of next year, leaving the market without a strong narrative to drive any meaningful price rally right now. From what I see, Trump views market performance as a direct reflection of his personal political success, and he won’t risk entering the midterm elections with a weak market.

This means any major market pump is likely to happen only during the midterm election window. On the other hand, if the market drops sharply before that, Trump will almost certainly deploy multiple tools to stabilize conditions and trigger a recovery wave but that surge would also occur only at that specific timing.

Before you read on, I hope you can give me a quick vote so I know whether I should keep improving and bring you even better content:

👀 ZEC: Preparing For Another Breakout

Zcash $ZEC.X ( ▼ 4.18% ) is forming a clear ascending triangle, a pattern that I mentioned as strong bullish breakouts in lots of my latest crypto news. Price continues to create higher lows while repeatedly testing the same resistance zone, showing that buyers are steadily gaining control.

Even though ZEC has faced multiple rejections at the red resistance block, every pullback is being bought up quickly. This tightening structure reflects growing momentum, and it's the kind of accumulation we often see.

If ZEC maintains support on the rising trendline and finally breaks through the resistance zone, it could trigger a sharp upside move. The trading strategy aligns with strong breakout behavior, and traders following the latest crypto news are watching this level closely as a potential ignition point.

📊 STRK: The Next ZEC

Starknet $STRK.X ( ▲ 20.4% ) has finally broken out of its long sideways range.

STRK has been moving within the same support and resistance band for a long time, but now it has finally broken through that resistance with a strong, long-bodied candle, which is a clear sign of aggressive buying pressure and confirmation of a new bullish move.

STRK is currently mimicking the exact same price structure ZEC $ZEC.X ( ▼ 4.18% ) formed before its explosive breakout. They both display a sequence of higher lows (red arrows) and strong impulsive legs upward (green arrows), creating a clean markup pattern driven by steady accumulation.

ZEC completed this structure and immediately launched into a parabolic run, and STRK is now following the same rhythm with almost identical wave behavior. This fractal repetition suggests STRK may be approaching its own breakout phase, with the next push likely coming once it clears its local highs.

As I mentioned in the previous post, the founder of STRK may also be a co-founder of Zcash, which is why the market tends to evaluate and react to these two tokens in a surprisingly similar way.

⚡ Key Takeaway

• Bitcoin is nearing its true bounce zone, but not yet: Despite the sharp reaction from Saylor’s $835M purchase, the current $88k - $93k band lacks historical demand. A deeper drop toward the major $80k - $85k zone is more aligned with real accumulation and a sustainable reversal.

• Extreme fear is creating the perfect liquidation washout: The Fear & Greed Index hitting 16 signals that the market has entered a capitulation phase. Historically, these levels precede strong relief rallies, especially when combined with large forced short-covering from institutions.

• Political timing heavily influences the macro setup: With Trump shifting his stimulus plans to mid-next-year, the market currently lacks a strong narrative. Any major pump is more likely to align with the midterm election cycle, where political incentives favor a bullish market.

• ZEC is one breakout away from a strong continuation move: Zcash is forming a textbook ascending triangle with rising higher lows. This tightening structure suggests heavy accumulation, and a clean break above resistance could trigger a powerful upward impulse.

• STRK is repeating ZEC’s exact bullish fractal: Starknet has broken out of its long sideways range with a strong bullish candle and is now tracing the same higher-low structure that ZEC printed before its parabolic run. This fractal similarity increases the probability of a near-term breakout.

• Market psychology treats STRK and ZEC similarly: With the possibility that STRK’s founder is also tied to Zcash, traders naturally evaluate these tokens in a similar way, which may explain why their price action patterns have become almost identical.
