Analysts cited risk-off pressure and expect Bitcoin to trade within an $80,000–$90,000 range in Q4. The liquidations likely amplified the decline, while the forecast points to continued volatility rather than a clear near-term trend. --- ## Sources 1. https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiwAFBVV95cUxQcmYtam5JS2N5QjFNamg0OFIxc2Q2SXI4VGhBN2NYa1lFRlBQb3VBYktWV0oxcGdjZmpZeXpqcnFNRlpGdkx0bDRZMk44S0ZxaE1adDVYaU1iQWJ1RFlSOWJnY2pFLTJ2QjItdkVPVWc2WGwzWlJOTFBZbmlaTHFUQVFMUEJ3YXdxb29mNFRfbUV3b3lqdVl5YUdOcUpQd0RsSUk4V21yRkUtT3htOXNqUzNaejI5Y2VXWUp1Z1RiWGc?oc=5 2. https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMif0FVX3lxTFBHdVpUSzd3eUlwNm5aRGgxalJaRDVjVnNGVHUwMkF4VmcwTWpGUmZIczQycnVTZjlmWXZYdDhWT1BkYkFlbmFfd1VjYTVnVV8xd0VaYkZUU1NDbVBsRVc4UFVkMktub2EwaXdPaVh3WmJ5Rm8wakwwUVREWC16ZkE?oc=5 --- *Content provided by BITERMINAL — https://biterminal.rendrr.app* *Powered by xAI Grok.
