Bitcoin Altcoins are painted red as they try to reclaim $88,000. For investors, the last quarter of 2025 did not live up to expectations and hopes have now diminished considerably. We will examine the current market expectations of on-chain experts before 2026. What awaits cryptocurrency investors now?
USA Sells Cryptocurrency
Coinbase Premium index It shows that risk appetite has been weakening for a long time. The failure of each upward attempt is related to the steady pressure of US-based investors on the price. Although BTC made many attempts above $ 90 thousand, the direction was turned down again with the US sales.
On-chain analyst anlcnc1 thinks that if this trend continues, we may see a deeper correction to $81,000.
“Bitcoin As we see from the Coinbase premium index on the side, the US side continues to suppress any rise in the 89-90K range as a seller. After the 90K attempt at night, the same pressure occurred again. The Bart-shaped saw continues and it is not nice to be like this because if this pressure continues with every rise, after a while they will force the 81-82K level to be tested again. “For healthy permanent price movements, Coinbase Premium needs to turn positive and show strong momentum.”
Long Term Investor Sales
Long-term investor sales were one of the things that tired the cryptocurrency markets the most in recent months. On-chain analyst Anıl says that the long-term Bitcoin supply has shown a recovery trend in the last 15 days and this is positive. If the sales motivation on the US front fades by the end of the year, increasing long-term investor accumulation may pave the way for a recovery in cryptocurrencies. In the medium term, the chart below is positive for cryptocurrency investors.
Derivatives Markets and Bitcoin
The movement started this afternoon and will be completed within a few hours. BTC It caused the price to increase by 3 thousand dollars. This activity is largely due to the interest in derivative markets. Open interest suddenly increased by $2 billion. However, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost warns investors.
“In this case, the move is usually short-lived. Leveraged positions tend to be temporary, which often prevents the market from establishing a healthy basis for a sustainable uptrend.”
