Bitcoin price failed to break through the $90,000 mark, and the market fell sharply

The price of Bitcoin failed to break through the $90,000 mark. The selling pressure on the digital currency market returned in the past 24 hours, and most digital currencies continued to fluctuate violently in the red zone.

As the end of 2025 approaches, Bitcoin and most major alternative digital currencies have made multiple attempts to regain key technical levels, but have been unsuccessful.

After the price briefly rose to $90,536 on the Bitstamp platform, the trend quickly reversed to the downside.

As of this writing, Bitcoin prices have fallen by approximately 2.5% in 24 hours and are trading near $87,500.

According to “Coinglass” data, under the same background, the total market liquidation amount was approximately US$250 million, an increase of approximately 27% from the previous trading day, of which long transactions accounted for approximately US$200 million.

As this poor performance continues, Bitcoin’s price is expected to fall by approximately 22% by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, which could make it its worst quarterly performance since the 2018 bear market.

Indicators online, coupled with macroeconomic pressures and declining speculative activity, point to a fragile phase in the short term.

Altcoins have not been immune to this decline.

The price of Ethereum has failed to consolidate above $3,000 and is currently trading near $2,950, a decline similar to that of Bitcoin.

Major currencies such as SOL, TRX, DOGE, ADA, XRP and BNB also fell between 1.5% and 2%.

On the other hand, privacy currencies fell more seriously, with Zcash and Monero both falling by about 6%, while the price of the digital currency Hyperliquid (HYPE) fell by about 4.4%.

Among the winning alternative digital currencies in the past 24 hours, the digital currency HASH topped the list with an increase of 8.4% in 24 hours, followed by the digital currency Rain, which increased by 6.5%.

As for the currencies that fell, the digital currency was Midnight (NIGHT), which fell by about 21%, followed by the digital currency PUMP, which is affiliated with the Pump.fun platform on the Solana network, and fell by about 13% during the same period.
