Bitcoin Market Outlook: Will BTC Recover or Keep Dropping?

Bitcoin Market Outlook- Bitcoin Plunges Below $90K

Bitcoin Market Outlook– On February 26th, Bitcoin (BTC) continued its downward trend, reaching lows of $82K, causing investor sentiment to plummet. This dip brought the crypto fear and greed index to a three-year low of 10, marking the worst sentiment since the FTX collapse in 2022, which saw extreme fear levels of 22.

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the ongoing bearish sentiment led to a significant outflow from Bitcoin ETFs, with $1B being withdrawn on Wednesday alone, bringing total withdrawals for the week to $1.8B. The risk-off mood reflected investors’ caution as inflation concerns and global economic instability continued to mount.

Tariff Fears and Inflation Add Pressure on BTC

The market downturn was further exacerbated by President Trump’s announcement of a 25% tariff on the European Union, coupled with fears of stagflation. QCP Capital’s daily market update noted, “Equities, gold, & BTC are sliding as stagflation fears gain traction.” Analysts warned that the tariffs could lead to higher inflation, which could, in turn, harm Bitcoin’s price.

BTC’s Next Move: Analyst Predictions

Despite the negative sentiment, some analysts, like Ken Teng (Chicken Genius), saw the market’s extreme fear as a potential buying signal. Teng suggested that the market might be nearing a bottom, with the cycle far from topping out. On the other hand, BTC trader Cryp Nuevo speculated that BTC could dip to the $77K-$78K range, where price imbalances from the CME gap and weekly moving average may trigger a rebound.

As of press time, Bitcoin had bounced 5% from its $82.2K lows, sitting at $86.5K. The question remains whether it will reclaim higher levels above $90K or continue its downward trend to $77K.
