Bitcoin recently experienced a dip below $93,000, retreating nearly 7% from its Nov. 22 all-time high of $99,645. The asset hit an intraday low of $92,775 during early trading on Nov. 26 but quickly recovered to around $94,600. Despite this pullback, analysts remain confident that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 by year’s end.
Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research, explained that Bitcoin is consolidating ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend. He noted that Bitcoin often weakens toward the end of the month, helping to alleviate its overbought condition. Despite potential short-term macroeconomic pressures, Thielen remains bullish for the coming weeks and believes Bitcoin will surpass the $100,000 mark soon.
Altcoins and Seasonal Trends Drive Market Activity
Altcoins like Dogecoin, Stellar, and Solana also showed significant volatility, with Dogecoin reaching its highest price since May 2021. Analysts attribute the surge to traders re-engaging with familiar assets and the broader market’s healthy cyclical corrections. Charlie Sherry from BTC Markets explained that the dip is part of Bitcoin’s historical pattern of gains followed by corrections, suggesting that the current pullback could be the “last flush” before a rally to $100,000.
While there is potential for a deeper pullback, some analysts believe that the market is in a consolidation phase. CK Zheng of ZX Squared Capital stated that a 20% pullback would provide an excellent entry point for new investors and expects Bitcoin to break the $100,000 level in the next few months.

Investors should watch for potential entry points during any deeper pullbacks, but the long-term outlook remains bullish for Bitcoin.
