Bitcoin’s (BTC) price structure is tightening, and one key level now stands between the market and a deeper correction, according to trading expert Michaël van de Poppe. 

This outlook comes as Bitcoin continues to struggle to break above the $90,000 mark following days of losses and stagnation.

According to Poppe, Bitcoin’s failure to revisit and reclaim the $92,000 region could open the door to a sharp drop toward the low-$80,000 range, an area that aligns with multiple support levels, he said in an X post on December 7.

The analysis also highlighted a major resistance band near $100,700, while the crucial downside pivot is around $89,300,  a level Poppe considers essential to avoid a harsher decline. 

Bitcoin price key levels to watch 

If Bitcoin fails to retest or break above $92,000, he expects price action to slide toward the $80,000–$82,000 zone, where several historical support layers sit between $80,900 and $76,600. A revisit of this region could form a double-bottom pattern, potentially marking the final phase of the correction.

Despite the looming downside risk, Poppe remained optimistic about what follows. He believes Bitcoin is “not far off bottoming,” and a strong rebound from lower support could ignite a year-end rally that carries into Q1 2026.

By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $89,411 after slipping about 0.5% in the past 24 hours, while the weekly chart shows a 2.2% decline.

At current levels, Bitcoin sits well below its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $100,131 and 200-day SMA of $103,640, signaling a sustained bearish trend as the asset trades in downtrend territory without support from these key long-term averages. 

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 43.04 remains neutral, indicating limited immediate momentum for a reversal despite growing market fear.
