Trader Notes: Bitcoin’s price decline continued into the final week’s opening, with CoinDesk Senior Analyst James Van Straten warning that if Bitcoin loses the critical $90,000 support level, it could drop to $75,000 due to limited support in that range. This would represent a 30% pullback within the ongoing bull market.

Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that Bitcoin’s end-of-year price action is typically choppy, and this year is no exception. He expects this volatility to persist until the new year, after which liquidity is likely to return, paving the way for stronger moves.

Meanwhile, The Kobeissi Letter pointed out that Bitcoin’s recent rally might be due for a correction. Historically, Bitcoin prices lag global money supply by about 10 weeks. With the money supply recently dropping by $4.1 trillion, the trend suggests Bitcoin could decline by up to $20,000 in the coming weeks, signaling a pause in its red-hot rally.
