Bitcoin Price Analysis: How Low Can BTC Go After Latest Rejection at $90K?

After failing to reclaim key resistance zones, Bitcoin continues to show weakness across multiple timeframes. The market remains under pressure as buyers struggle to step in with strength, while broader sentiment and derivatives data hint at further downside risk in the short term.

Technical Analysis

By Shayan

The Daily Chart

On the daily chart, BTC remains locked inside a well-defined descending channel. The recent rejection near the channel’s higher boundary, around the $90K mark, confirms continued bearish control. The asset is now hovering around $87K, with the 200-day and 100-day moving averages acting as dynamic resistance just above $100K.

As attempts to reclaim the $96K–97K supply zone failed, the structure remains bearish unless price can break and hold above that level. For now, the next key demand zone sits at the $80K area. Meanwhile, momentum remains weak, with RSI unable to push above 50, making more downside likely in the short term.

The 4-Hour Chart

The 4H chart shows a clear breakdown from the ascending wedge pattern that had formed over the past few weeks. After multiple rejections at the $95K resistance zone, BTC finally broke down from the wedge and is now trading below both the wedge support and short-term range.

The current structure is bearish, and any retest of $88K–$89K zone may act as a short-term resistance before further downside continuation. With the RSI also showing a bearish momentum reset and no signs of bullish divergence, a drop toward the $80K demand zone is the most probable scenario.

Sentiment Analysis

Bitcoin Open Interest

Open Interest continues to trend lower, falling from its peak. The chart shows a sharp decline in leverage as BTC price dropped below $90K, suggesting long liquidations and an ongoing reduction in speculative exposure.

This persistent decline in Open Interest while price grinds down reflects weak conviction from bulls and a lack of new leveraged longs entering the market. Historically, a large open interest flush followed by a clean reset is needed for the price to bottom. This has not been seen yet.

Until either a sharp liquidation event occurs or signs of new accumulation are seen, sentiment remains cautious, and the risk of another leg down remains elevated.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors.

Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
