Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Gold, Silver: Correction Risks Rise Amid Momentum Slowdown

In a recent social media post, prominent venture capitalist Jason Calacanis has stated that he would never touch Michael Saylor's Strategy even if the stock were to crash. 

Calacanis also argues that there should be no Bitcoin bailouts if the company happens to go underwater. 

The caustic comments of the early Uber investor come after the Wall Street Journal reported that digital asset treasury companies are "crumbling." 

Earlier, Calacanis argued that investors have to avoid Saylor and buy Bitcoin directly. Back then, the angel investor said that he was 95% certain that he would end up being right. 

He has also claimed that Strategy's bet was too "convoluted," but he has stopped short of describing it as a Ponzi scheme in his most recent social media post. 

"Whenever you see a company using creative new metrics or innovative capital structures, consider that worthy of deeper investigation. Could be nothing, could be brilliant, or could be something bad," Calacanis said back in April.

For now, there is only a 3% chance of Strategy being forced to liquidate its holdings. 

Will Strategy bounce back?

As reported by U.Today, Jim Chanos, founder of Kynikos Associates, recently announced that the firm had unwound its anti-MSTR trade after pocketing hefty returns. The stock of the leading Bitcoin treasury firm had crashed by a whopping 45% after Chanos initially announced his bet against Saylor in mid-May. 

In late October, Strategy had to boost yield on its preferred shares in order to increase faltering demand. 

Some believe that Chanos's latest move might be a sign that cryptocurrency treasury companies will finally see some sort of bullish reversal after facing steep losses. 

For now, however, they remain under rather severe pressure, and those companies whose crypto holdings are currently in the red will struggle to sell more shares. 

After a disappointing performance during the week, the price of Bitcoin has continued its sluggish action over the weekend. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency has been hovering around the $102,000 level over the past 24 hours.

While this current choppy price action seems like an improvement from the severe downturn witnessed in recent days, it doesn’t particularly bring calm to the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Interestingly, the latest on-chain data suggests that the Bitcoin price might still be at risk of further correction in the coming days.

Why BTC Price Might Find Bottom Around $95,000

In a November 8 post on the social media platform X, on-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci predicted the local bottom for the price of Bitcoin. According to the crypto pundit, the flagship cryptocurrency could fall to as low as $95,000 before seeing relief and perhaps rebounding to new price highs.

The relevant metric here is the Realized Price of Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) age bands, which evaluate the holding pattern of different investor classes through their different realized prices. The UTXO age bands metric tracks the average price at which Bitcoin holders purchased their coins compared to how long they’ve held the assets.

The age bands under focus in Kesmeci’s analysis are the 1-week to 1-month group (green line) and the 1-month to 3-month cohort (purple line), which offer insight into short-term holders’ behavior and overall market sentiment. According to the on-chain analyst, the green line has crossed below the purple line three times in 2025.

Kesmeci noted that this cross often preceded short-term corrections, including the ones seen on February 24 ($99,000 to $76,000) and September 8 ($117,000 to $109,000). Similarly, this cross occurred on November 1, with the Bitcoin price falling from $110,000 to $99,000.

Furthermore, the average dip suffered by the Bitcoin price on these three occasions stands at around 13.3%, with a 45-day consolidation period. Based on this historical pattern, Kesmeci expects the Bitcoin price bottom to form around the $95,000 and $96,000 region after the most recent crossing of the 1-week to 1-month band below the 1-month to 3-month band.

Kesmeci concluded:

Bitcoin Price At A Glance

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands around $102,440, reflecting a nearly 1% decline in the past day.

Spanish crypto influencer Álvaro Romillo, founder of the alleged Ponzi scheme Madeira Invest Club (MIC), has been detained without bail by a Spanish court on charges of perpetrating a $300 million fraud. 

Romillo was arrested in Spain on Thursday after being deemed a flight risk when Spanish officials discovered a Singapore bank account, funded with €29 million ($33.5 million) from businesses linked to Romillo, according to local news reports. National Court judge José Luis Calama ordered Romillo imprisoned without bail after Romillo testified before the court, answering questions for two hours. 

The Central Operational Unit of Spain's Civil Guard believes Romillo's MIC perpetrated a Ponzi scheme that defrauded 3,000 victims for a total of €260 million (over $300 million). Spanish authorities began probing MIC in late 2024, announcing three complaints in Oct. 2024. Over the past year, Romillo has cooperated with authorities, appearing at court hearings, while law enforcement seized assets including dozens of luxury cars . 

Only when prosecutors discovered the foreign bank accounts was Romillo arrested out of fear that he would flee the country, according to reports. The fraud could wind up with Romillo sentenced "to 9 years in prison, and even up to 18 years in prison if it is considered that they constitute a mass offense," a report obtained by Cadena SER stated. 

MIC solicited deposits (around €2,000 minimum per investor) to buy digital “artwork” contracts and shares in luxury goods, like yachts, Ferraris, and gold, with guaranteed buyback and fixed profits that were unusually high, at around 20% per year. Romillo told the court during his appearance Friday that he intended to pay investors back and has even returned money to 2,700 parties, though he did so in cash and claimed to have no way to account for the payments. 

Romillo had also previously admitted to funding the 2024 election campaign of far-right Spanish MEP Luis "Alvise" Pérez, leader of the SALF party, with a €100,000 under-the-table cash donation. Pérez is under investigation in a separate case from the larger MIC investigation.

United States President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that most Americans will receive a $2,000 “dividend” from the tariff revenue and criticized the opposition to his sweeping tariff policies.

“A dividend of at least $2000 a person, not including high-income people, will be paid to everyone,” Trump said on Truth Social.

The US Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments about the legality of the tariffs, with the overwhelming majority of prediction market traders betting against a court approval.

Bitcoin-focused X account Documenting Bitcoin shared an email from Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto with the subject "Bitcoin P2P e cash paper," dated Nov. 8, 2008, contained in the cryptographic mailing list. This email came eight days after the release of the Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.

The Bitcoin white paper, "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," was released Oct. 31, 2008, amid the global financial crisis. The nine-page document laid the foundation for what would become the world’s first cryptocurrency.

The white paper outlined a vision for a decentralized, peer-to-peer financial system built on cryptographic proof rather than trust in third-party intermediaries.

Satoshi Nakamoto explains "difficulty adjustment"

The email from Satoshi Nakamoto shared by Documenting Bitcoin, which dated November 2008, explains Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment.

A part of the email reads: "Increasing hardware speed is handled: to compensate for increasing hardware speed and varying interest in running node over time, the proof of work difficulty is determined by a moving average targeting an average number of blocks per hour. if they're generated too fast, the difficulty increases."

It continued: "As computers get faster and the total computing power applied to creating bitcoins increases, the difficulty increases proportionally to keep the total new production constant. Thus, it is known in advance how many new bitcoin."

Bitcoin market reset?

Coinbase Institutional's report highlights significant leverage clearing from the crypto market after the Oct. 10 liquidation, suggesting a short-term bottom may have formed: "October’s sell-off wasn’t the end of the cycle—it may have been the reset it needed."

Based on options implied distribution, BTC price expectations for the next three to six months are between $90,000 and $160,000, with a bullish tilt. The report also cites Fed rate cuts, liquidity easing and new regulations as medium-term tailwinds, potentially extending the current cycle to 2026.

At the time of writing, BTC was up 1.02% in the last 24 hours to $103,228.
