Bitcoin's price paused near $88,000 after long-term holders who bought during the 2025 rally sold heavily, especially as it approached resistance around $85,000 to $87,000. This selling pressure, combined with $487 million in ETF redemptions and over $2.4 billion in long liquidations, led to a dip with buyers stepping in near $81,000 to $82,000 to form strong support. Market experts expect Bitcoin to trade between $80,000 and $90,000 in Q4 2026, with future moves depending on macroeconomic data like the Consumer Price Index and ETF demand. The key challenge for bulls remains the supply from long-term holders who may continue selling near breakeven levels, while institutional interest and order book dynamics will be crucial to watch next.
