Bitcoin Price Consolidates

CryptoNews data shows Bitcoin trading around $88,800 on Thursday, down 0.3% in 24 hours. It has fallen from recent highs of $95,000 and is significantly behind its October 2025 all-time high near $126,000.

Bitcoin is trading in a consolidation area, with buyers entering between $85,000–$90,000 as rising momentum stalls below $100,000.

Trading volumes have dropped, indicating market players are looking for new triggers amid tighter financial conditions and changing economic forecasts.

Despite the downturn, bitcoin's market capitalization is approaching $1.77 trillion, confirming its status as the greatest digital asset.

Gold hit new highs as Bitcoin fell to the low-$90K zone, with intraday trading reaching $87K.

Strategy remains committed
Saylor sees bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset, not a trade. With purchases in rising and declining markets, strategy accumulation has been unaffected by near-term volatility.

Market commentators have praised and criticized the tactic, but Saylor has maintained that bitcoin's long-term scarcity and monetary qualities outweigh short-term losses.
