- Bitcoin fell below $95,000 in late November 2025, erasing 2025 gains amid macroeconomic, institutional, and technical pressures. - XWIN Research identified three drivers: fading Fed rate-cut hopes, $1.1B ETF outflows, and $600M+ leveraged liquidations after key support collapses. - Analysts warn the correction could persist until mid-2026 if regulatory shifts or Fed policy fail to stabilize markets amid extreme fear metrics.

Bitcoin has tumbled below $95,000, sparking widespread concern throughout the crypto sector as analysts cite a mix of macroeconomic, institutional, and technical influences fueling the selloff. This decline, which wiped out all of the asset’s gains for 2025, has revived worries about an extended bearish period,

.

The downturn started in late November 2025, when

fell below the psychologically important $100,000 mark on November 13 and continued to decline under persistent selling pressure. According to digital asset analytics company XWIN Research, three main factors are behind the drop. First, changing expectations about the Federal Reserve’s policy direction have reduced investors’ willingness to take risks. , the entire market—including crypto—has faced tighter liquidity.

Adding to the negative momentum is the rapid unwinding of excessive leverage in the crypto space. XWIN reported that the breakdown of crucial support levels led to a wave of forced liquidations, erasing over $600 million in long positions within a matter of hours. as factors that intensified panic, driving sentiment into “extreme fear” territory.

XWIN’s research indicates that this correction could drag on for several months. With Bitcoin now trading around the $92,000–$94,000 range—a key support area—

. According to XWIN’s projections, such a scenario could extend the slump until at least early or mid-2026, unless new stabilizing factors—such as regulatory changes or shifts in the macroeconomic environment—emerge.

Market participants remain split on whether the current decline is simply part of a cyclical downturn or signals a more fundamental change. Some believe the volatility is typical of crypto’s early-stage market dynamics, while others caution that the combination of macroeconomic challenges and speculative deleveraging could prolong the weakness. For now, Bitcoin’s trajectory will depend on the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions, ETF investment flows, and whether the crypto industry can restore institutional confidence.
