Summary of This Round of Downward Trend Views: Bitcoin's Final Bottom Predicted as Low as $75,000

2025.11.18 11:50:09

November 18th. Bitcoin witnessed its first dip below $90,000 in nearly 7 months, with a daily decline of 5.9% and a decrease of more than 28.7% from the current peak. When will the decline cease, and at what price range will the ultimate bottom be reached? BlockBeats has compiled the following key analysis points before and after this round of decline: Placeholder VC partner Chris Burniske pointed out that the signs of a market top have now emerged, and he plans to re-enter when BTC drops to $75,000 or lower. The significant drop on October 11th had a lasting impact on the market, making it difficult to promptly establish sustained buying pressure. The monthly charts of BTC and ETH show cracks but are still within the "top range." Additionally, the decline in MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock price, warnings in the gold and credit markets, all indicate that a broader asset adjustment is imminent. "This bull market is different, and the next bear market will also be different." It is not a situation of going all-in or completely exiting; rather, it is a gradual strategy. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggested that Bitcoin may first decline to $80,000 to $85,000 before rising to $200,000 to $250,000 by the end of the year. In his latest blog post "Snow Forecast," he stated, "Bitcoin has dropped from $125,000 to around $90,000, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices are still hovering near all-time highs. This leads me to believe that a credit event may be on the horizon. As I observe the decline in the USD liquidity index since July, this view is confirmed. If the assessment is correct, the stock market may experience a 10%-20% correction, while the 10-year US Treasury yield approaches 5%, forcing the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, or other US government agencies to urgently implement some form of money printing scheme. During this soft period, Bitcoin may fall to $80,000 to $85,000. If there is a broader risk market collapse and the Federal Reserve and Treasury accelerate money printing actions, Bitcoin could potentially surge to $200,000 to $250,000 by the end of the year." Chinese crypto analyst Banmuxia stated: Bitcoin may first drop to $94,500 and then enter a period of complex oscillation, with the final bottom around $84,000. "Regarding Bitcoin, many people still underestimate the complexity of the upcoming market conditions. I believe the high probability is that this small bear market will end around $84,000, but that does not mean it will continuously and smoothly decline to $84,000. This time, it is most likely to be a complex sideways adjustment. Currently, it may experience a slight drop to around $94,500 and then probably enter an extremely complex oscillation. There may be a rebound potentially reaching above $116,000 before gradually dropping to the $84,000 and below 6-8% range." The Chairman of Bitmine, Ethereum's first institutional holder, Tom Lee, stated that it will take 6 to 8 weeks to address the funding gap issue affecting market-making, and the impact on the market may ease after Thanksgiving (November 27). The pain is short-term and will not change ETH's super cycle (i.e., Wall Street building an ecosystem on the blockchain). The founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), Li Hua Yi, stated: "Panic has reached its peak. We truly understand everyone's discussions about the four-year cycle and various daily, weekly, and yearly trends. However, we insist that the current position is the best spot to buy the dip in the spot markets, and we are optimistic about the subsequent market trends. When others are panicking, it is time to be greedy. Even if we have been right ten times before, it does not mean we will be right the next time. Nonetheless, in investing and trading, always trust your own logic. Our sharing and operations are not influenced by market information. In the world of cryptocurrencies, one day is like ten years in the real world. In fact, from the peak to the low point, it is just a little over a month. However, when all the negative news is out, buying is a better choice than selling." Bloomberg Businessweek's Person of the Year and two-time China's Most Influential Economist, Hong Hao, posted on Xiaohongshu that if Bitcoin falls to $92,000, it may only find significant support after dropping to the $70,000 range. Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio stated that he is starting to be bullish and has added to his long positions in ETH and SOL. "I have added to my long positions in ETH and SOL. The oscillators have clearly returned to oversold levels, and I believe it is time to increase exposure to this market again."

Serenity: Mass production of glass substrates may be delayed by another quarter, and the volume ramp-up pace of related manufacturers may be delayed accordingly.

Serenity says the mass production timeline for semiconductor glass substrates is likely to be delayed by at least another quarter. It points out that Samsung Electro-Mechanics recently pushed back its related investment plan after customers encountered bottlenecks in reliability evaluations of glass substrate prototype products, and further adjusted the project’s launch time to 2028 during its latest second-quarter earnings call. Additionally, the mass production timeline of Absolics, a subsidiary of SKC, was previously delayed from the second half of 2026 to the first half of 2027. Serenity concludes that the current key industry mass production milestones are: SKC Absolics delayed from H2 2026 to H1 2027, and Samsung delayed from H2 2027 to H1 2028. Serenity notes that while delays in mass production timelines are not necessarily negative, adjustments to the glass substrate industry chain’s schedules appear “imminent”. For some relevant manufacturers, their capacity ramp-up pace will follow the mass production timelines of the above-mentioned large players, including $LPK, Philoptics (161580), and E&R (8027).

Goldman Sachs is reportedly in talks to participate in NVIDIA's $500 billion AI financing plan.

According to sources familiar with the matter, Goldman Sachs is in discussions with potential investors to participate in NVIDIA’s $500 billion AI financing initiative. Leveraging its long-standing partnership with NVIDIA, Goldman Sachs has secured a coveted role in this highly sought-after deal. One source noted that U.S. insurance firms, asset management companies and banks are expected to form the core investor group for the financing; another source added that asset managers plan to hold a substantial portion of the funding. NVIDIA announced on August 10 that it has partnered with six major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, to launch a computing platform aimed at raising over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure. A second source said Goldman Sachs can provide subordinated capital and private credit financing through its asset management division; its investment banking arm can also help allocate related debt to private credit funds and eventually to the public bond market.

JPMorgan Chase cut ties with Polymarket last year over regulatory concerns, and is now still seeking the opportunity to underwrite its IPO.

According to the Financial Times, JPMorgan Chase terminated its banking services relationship with prediction market platform Polymarket last October over regulatory concerns, but has not fully cut off business ties with the firm and is currently pursuing the opportunity to underwrite Polymarket’s future initial public offering (IPO). Sources familiar with the matter said Polymarket was barred from serving U.S. customers in 2022 due to an enforcement action by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), prompting JPMorgan to request the firm find a new banking partner. Polymarket has since partnered with a new bank, whose name has not been disclosed. Even so, JPMorgan continues to maintain business dealings with Polymarket. In February this year, the bank also invited Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan to attend a private banking client conference in Miami, where he delivered a speech alongside former NFL star Tom Brady. Sources said JPMorgan aims to retain the possibility of underwriting Polymarket’s future IPO. Polymarket stated that it still maintains a "close, active relationship" with JPMorgan across multiple entities, operational integrations, and client fund processing, adding that any claims to the contrary are a serious misrepresentation of their ties. In recent years, prediction markets have expanded rapidly and drawn ongoing regulatory scrutiny. Since 2026, platforms including Polymarket and Kalshi have faced legal actions from multiple U.S. states over allegations of operating illegal sports betting, though both companies argue they function as exchanges that match buyers and sellers rather than betting operators. According to aggregated data from Dune users, the nominal trading volume of prediction markets has exceeded $250 billion since 2026. Meanwhile, Polymarket is seeking to raise over $1 billion in funding, targeting a $20 billion valuation—more than double the roughly $8 billion valuation from its previous funding round in 2025.

Analysis: AI stock guru Leopold only retains his position in Anthropic, his long-term belief in AGI remains unchanged.

AI investor Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness fund nearly liquidated its entire public market stock position in late July, retaining only its private equity stake in Anthropic. It is reported that Citadel, owned by Ken Griffin, acquired most of the stock assets sold by the fund. Situational Awareness once managed up to $45 billion in assets, but after incurring losses in AI infrastructure-related stocks, the fund significantly cut its public equity positions. With nearly all public stocks sold, Anthropic became the only core holding left untouched. According to reports, Aschenbrenner’s July investor letter cited Anthropic’s potential IPO as a key catalyst. Anthropic is one of the world’s most valuable private AI companies; an eventual IPO would give early investors an opportunity to exit and realize returns. Analysts believe that Aschenbrenner’s decision to retain his Anthropic stake amid sharp corrections in AI infrastructure stocks reflects his continued confidence in Anthropic and his own long-term investment thesis on AGI. Anthropic is not yet publicly traded, so retail investors cannot directly trade its shares. The main public market proxies for exposure to Anthropic include Amazon and NVIDIA, both of which have invested heavily in AI infrastructure.

Washington state court orders Kalshi to cease offering most prediction markets, requiring it to complete geographic blocking by September 2.

Washington state court has issued a final ruling ordering prediction market platform Kalshi to cease offering event contracts in the state covering sports, elections, politics, entertainment, culture, technology, science, and "person mentions". The court found Kalshi is likely violating Washington’s gambling regulations. Kalshi is required to implement geoblocking via IP addresses and user residency by August 19, and upgrade to a multi-source geofencing system by September 2 to block Washington state users from accessing restricted markets. The platform is also prohibited from promoting related betting products to consumers in the state. However, the ruling does not restrict all of Kalshi’s operations; contracts related to commodities, climate, and economic and financial instruments may still be offered in Washington. The decision stems from a prior lawsuit filed by Washington state. Kalshi had previously requested a stay of the injunction, but the Washington State Court of Appeals denied the request. Meanwhile, multiple U.S. states and local governments are questioning whether Kalshi’s event contracts constitute illegal gambling under state law, while Kalshi argues its business should be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) per federal law. On the same day, Baltimore, Maryland’s largest city, also sued Kalshi and Polymarket, accusing them of offering illegal gambling products. Kalshi faces growing regulatory pressure from state and local authorities.

X-Agent Launches 2026 AI MCP Hackathon, Partners with OKX.AI to Unlock Commercialization Pathways for AI Agents

Recently, Web3 AI ecosystem network X-Agent announced the official launch of the "X-Agent AI MCP Hackathon 2026: Build, Verify, MCPize, Monetize" online hackathon. Open to global developers and Web3 AI teams, the event aims to break the limitation of projects being "only a demo" by creating realistically callable, verifiable AI APIs and on-chain capabilities with sustainable monetization potential. Featuring zero-threshold standardization, it covers everything from APIs to Agent business tools. The hackathon runs for nearly 4 weeks, including a 5-day warm-up period and a 14-day development phase. Participants do not need to build complex MCP (Model Context Protocol) frameworks from scratch; they only need to develop core AI or crypto functions based on APIs and submit their source code. Projects that pass technical verification and security audits will be standardized and packaged into MCP tools aligned with Agent architecture with X-Agent’s assistance. A key benefit of the hackathon is direct access to the OKX.AI ecosystem, enabling pay-per-call monetization. High-quality winning projects will be recommended by X-Agent and listed on the OKX.AI Agent Marketplace. Via the A2MCP and x402 protocols (integrating OKX X Layer’s gas-free on-chain USDC settlement channel), developers will earn continuous pay-per-call revenue every time another AI Agent or user uses their tool. The event includes four major tracks focused on AI, Web3, and on-chain automation. The official notes that to ensure ecosystem security, security audit-related projects involving smart contract audits, security risk control, phishing detection, and rug pull checks are not eligible for participation.
