- Bitcoin struggles below $116,354, raising fears of a major crash.
- Analysts warn of significant drop to $94,334 if support fails.
- Market reset leaves Bitcoin’s future uncertain, watch key support levels.
Bitcoin continues to show subdued trading, fluctuating between $108,645 and $110,369. Following a sharp drop to $108,623 on Thursday, Bitcoin saw a brief recovery on Friday. The rebound coincided with the release of PCE data and a major options expiry.
Nevertheless, the pullback did not last long, and as of Saturday morning, Bitcoin has already wiped out the gains. Bitcoin, at 109,330, is only up by 0.3% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin has fallen by 5.78% in the last week, which makes people worried about the possibility of additional losses.
According to crypto analyst Ali, Bitcoin has a vital support point at $116,354. If Bitcoin does not reach this price level, there is a high likelihood of a large decline in the cryptocurrency.
Ali states that a drop below $116,354 would mean that Bitcoin’s price would fall to $94,334. Ali referred to MVRV pricing ranges, which emphasize the dangers of a significant price drop in case Bitcoin should drop below this critical point.

Is Bitcoin Heading for a Major Crash?
Another market sentiment change occurred in relation to Bitcoin after a giant options expiry on the Deribit platform. Bitcoin is currently trading at an average of $109,000, only slightly below the $110,000 max pain level. This re-pricing has given traders a clean sheet, and most have re-evaluated their standings and plans in the near future.
Moreover, Bitcoin’s open interest (OI) has declined significantly, from almost 515,000 BTC to 355,000 BTC. This decline in OI indicates that there is no confidence in the short-run market.
Nonetheless, the possibility of an increase in OI in the next few days can give us a clue as to whether the traders are making preparations to enter the market again.
Although the long-term indicators offer some promise, the short-term outlook is not clear. Bitcoin’s recent fall below the crucial support level of $116,354 has heightened the belief that a crash might happen. If the cryptocurrency fails to recover this price level, a major drop could be in the offing.
