Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Begins Steady Climb To $90,000 As Selling Pressure Eases
Bitcoin (BTC) briefly reclaimed $89,000 on Monday, reaching an intraday high of $89,225 before settling at $88,266. The flagship cryptocurrency is showing signs of recovery thanks to easing selling pressure and growing expectations of a rate cut in December.
Bitcoin crashed nearly 21% in November, with the slump largely driven by forced liquidations and a marketwide shift towards risk aversion.
Strategy Has Raised $21 Billion Year-To-Date
Michael Saylor’s Strategy has raised $21 billion in 2025, according to a company statement with detailed funding breakdowns.

The company has raised $20.8 billion in 2025 through $11.9 billion in common equity, $6.9 billion in preferred equity, and $2 billion in convertible debt. Strategy’s funding includes structured offerings across multiple securities: $1.18 billion in STRF, $2.68 billion in STRC, $0.71 billion in STRE, $1.25 billion in STRK, and $1.07 billion in STRD.
Strategy has pivoted from software to position itself as a corporate Bitcoin treasury, using capital market access to fund its Bitcoin acquisitions. Strategy holds one of the largest Bitcoin positions, and its funding strategy has attracted substantial institutional interest.
Robert Kiyosaki Warns About “Biggest Market Crash”
Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has claimed the “biggest crash in history” is unfolding across the US, Europe, and Asia. Kiyosaki warned investors must diversify into assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Kiyosaki posted on X,
“Biggest crash in history starting… In 2013, I published RICH DAD’S PROPHECY, predicting that the biggest crash in history was coming. Unfortunately, that crash has arrived… It’s not just the U.S.—Europe and Asia are crashing.”
Kiyosaki believes the ongoing downturn is not a normal recession, stating that the structural forces driving the downturn are deeper than the cyclical slowdown of investor sentiment. According to Kiyosaki, the trigger behind the current downturn is rapid technological disruption, driven by AI.
“AI will wipe out jobs, and when jobs crash, office and residential real estate will crash.”
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) registered a steady recovery over the weekend after falling to a low of $80,524 on Friday. The flagship cryptocurrency fell 0.45% on Saturday before rising 2.51% to cross $86,000 and settle at $86,808. Buyers retained control on Monday, as the price rose 1.68% to $88,266. However, it is back in the red during the ongoing session, down over 1% at $87,320.
New on-chain data revealed the number of Bitcoin whales holding at least 100 BTC is rising again after dropping to its lowest level in two years. The recovery comes as Bitcoin rebounds after a long downtrend, which sparked fears of an impending bear market. However, analysts have cautioned that early rumblings of a bull market may not be a reliable indicator of a sustained rebound.
Santiment analysts have noted that while smaller wallets continue to contract, large entities have re-entered the market following BTC’s November decline.
BTC is showing consistent signs of recovery as overall selling pressure eases and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut grow. According to Capriole Fund founder Charles Edwards, tech stocks and crypto markets fell over the past two weeks because of the market flip-flopping on the expectations of a rate cut.
“A lot of the reason the S&P 500 dropped 200 points over the last 2 weeks is because of the market flip-flopping on expectations for a rate cut. We started November at 90% odds for a cut in December, dropped to only 30% and are now back at 70% likelihood of a rate cut. As the market reverts, expect it to carry Bitcoin somewhat higher.”
Meanwhile, Swissblock analysts believe BTC is on the verge of forming a bottom, stating,
“The Risk-Off Signal is dropping sharply, which tells us two things: selling pressure has eased, and the worst of the capitulation is likely behind us, for now.”
