Bitcoin Price Plunges Toward $100K as Analysts Call the Start of a Bear Market

2025/11/05 01:36

Bitcoin cannot catch a break on Tuesday as its adverse price movements continue to dig new lows, with the latest being at just under $101,000.

With the asset now on the brink of its first price dump below $100,000 since June, whales and treasury companies have begun to offload, while some analysts believe this is the official start of a bear market.

Sequans Communications, one of the numerous BTC treasury firms, announced today that it had redeemed 50% of convertible debt issued to purchase bitcoin by selling off 970 units of the cryptocurrency. Thus, it reduced its total outstanding debt from $189 million to $94.5 million. Its BTC stash has dropped to 2,264 from 3,234.

In another bearish development, which intensified the immediate selling pressure on the asset, whales had offloaded $272 million worth of the asset, as reported by popular analyst Ali Martinez.

These moves have only added to the overall negative landscape in the crypto industry for the past week. Recall that BTC challenged the $116,000 resistance last Tuesday only to be rejected and driven south hard.

The beginning of the current business week has been particularly painful. Bitcoin was stopped at $111,000 on Sunday and has dumped by $10,000 since then to just under $101,000 hours ago.

Moreover, the cryptocurrency has retraced by roughly 20% since its all-time high marked less than a month ago. As such, the Kobeissi Letter categorized it as the beginning of the bear market.

The altcoins have been in an even worse state over the past day. TAO leads the adverse trend with a massive 18% decline, followed by IP, APT, KAS, OKB, TON, SOL, and many others.

The larger caps have suffered badly as well, with ETH dumping by 7%, XRP by 6%, BNB by 8%, and SOL by 8.5%.

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
