BTC USD price steadied near $109,000 on Friday after US inflation data aligned with expectations, leaving sellers pressing support into the Wall Street open.<\/span><\/p>\n

The move came as Elon Musk\u2019s Grok AI maintained a call that September will likely close near current levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fed\u2019s preferred inflation gauge, the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, <\/span>showed<\/span><\/a> a +2.9% annual rise in August, while headline PCE climbed 2.7%. Both matched the economist forecasts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The lack of surprise muted market reaction. Traders said the reading, though above the Fed\u2019s target, still allows room for a possible October rate cut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That prospect helped limit downside but failed to spark fresh buying after a week of heavy liquidations.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>CoinGlass<\/span><\/a>, order-book data showed bid support clustering around $108,200 on Binance, while liquidation levels sat just above $110,000.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

#Bitcoin<\/a> futures saw another wave of long liquidations as price moved below $111k. <\/p>\n

This flush of leverage reflects a broad deleveraging event, often resetting market positioning and easing the risk of further cascades.<\/p>\n

Intraday, BTC stayed pinned near $109,000, with bears grinding through local support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysts flagged $107,000\u2013$108,000 as the next test below and $112,000-$117,000 as resistance above, following what has been the largest deleveraging event of 2025 so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kobeissi Letter <\/span>noted<\/span><\/a> that even with PCE at a seven-month high, \u201cthe Fed is still expected to continue cutting rates.\u201d That backdrop eased pressure on the downside but left markets without momentum for a rebound.<\/span><\/p>\n

BREAKING: August PCE inflation, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, rises to 2.7%, in-line with expectations of 2.7%.<\/p>\n

Core PCE inflation was 2.9%, in-line with expectations of 2.9%.<\/p>\n

PCE inflation is at its highest since February 2025.<\/p>\n

Yet, the Fed will keep cutting rates.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Is BTC USD Entering Its Biggest Bear Market as MicroStrategy Faces Risk of Forced BTC Sales?<\/h2>\n

A crypto analyst has\u00a0<\/span>warned<\/span>\u00a0that Bitcoin may be entering its largest bear market to date, with MicroStrategy\u2019s holdings at the center of concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

The BIGGEST Bear Market has just STARTED<\/p>\n

MicroStrategy will be forced to sell 639,835 BTC<\/p>\n

I warned about this months ago, but nobody listened<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why and when MicroStrategy will COLLAPSE pic.twitter.com\/tGA5Z35VTH<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Atlas (@crptAtlas) September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n

The analysis points to Bitcoin trading in the mid-$80,000 range, below its estimated average cost basis. A chart shared alongside the warning outlines a path where prices could weaken further into 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Bitcoin fell toward $65,000 or even $45,000, the analyst suggests MicroStrategy could be forced to sell part of its 639,835 BTC stash.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company, led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, has built the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury over the past four years. Its aggressive use of leverage has been both praised and questioned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

(<\/span>Source: X<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

With an average purchase price of nearly $70,000, extended losses below that level could place heavy pressure on its balance sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The analyst said he had mentioned this scenario months earlier, arguing that leverage magnifies downside risks in a prolonged slump.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Market observers added that any forced liquidation by MicroStrategy would not just hit its own finances but also shake confidence in Bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

For years, Saylor promoted Bitcoin as \u201cdigital gold,\u201d framing it as a long-term hedge for institutional balance sheets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A deep correction could test that claim. While the projection remains speculative, it adds to unease among traders already wary after sharp retracements in recent sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key question now is whether MicroStrategy can withstand further price pressure or if its holdings could become the flashpoint for a broader downturn.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Do Glassnode\u2019s MVRV Pricing Bands Reveal About Bitcoin\u2019s Risk Levels?<\/h2>\n

According to analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin\u2019s price faces renewed pressure after on-chain data flagged $116,354 as the critical level to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a <\/span>post<\/span><\/a> on X, Martinez cited Glassnode\u2019s MVRV Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands, noting that Bitcoin was trading at $109,074 on September 25, 2025, below the +0.5\u03c3 band and edging closer to mean support.<\/span><\/p>\n

Failing to reclaim $116,354 puts Bitcoin $BTC<\/a> at risk of a drop to $94,334, based on Pricing Bands! pic.twitter.com\/ZrUTEAld2J<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Ali (@ali_charts) September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n

The model sets out several thresholds. The mean band sits at $94,334, while the-0.5\u03c3 deviation lies at $72,313. Martinez stressed that unless Bitcoin climbs back above $116,354, which acts as upper resistance, the coin risks sliding toward the mean at $94,334.<\/span><\/p>\n

The analysis casts $116,354 as a pivot point: a recovery above it could revive bullish momentum, but rejection may deepen bearish sentiment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

(<\/span>Source: X<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

The warning comes amid heavy volatility, with traders digesting macro uncertainty and liquidation waves in derivatives markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glassnode\u2019s chart also shows Bitcoin\u2019s realized price at $53,759, a marker that hints at the potential for a deeper correction if risk-off sentiment grows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, Martinez\u2019s signal leaves traders focused on whether Bitcoin can hold the $100,000 region or risk slipping into lower valuation bands.<\/span><\/p>\n
