BlockBeats News, December 21st, Cryptocurrency market analysis firm Santiment's founder Maksim Balashevich stated that there is not enough panic sentiment yet on social media to confirm a market bottom. Bitcoin could still drop to around $75,000, indicating a potential 14.77% drop from the current level. Balashevich explained that many users are still optimistically expecting the downtrend to reverse in the short term, but this usually does not happen when the true market bottom is formed.On Thursday, Fidelity's Global Macro Research Director Jurrien Timmer suggested that Bitcoin could "pause for a year" in 2026, with prices potentially falling to around $65,000. Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, on the other hand, predicted that 2026 will be the "year of ascent" for Bitcoin.
