Bitcoin (BTC) has recently seen a pullback, dropping to $87,500 at the time of writing, after touching a high of a little over $90,000.
This dip comes after a bullish streak spurred by positive market sentiment and the U.S. election results, but analysts now anticipate a correction ahead of the November 13 Consumer Price Index (CPI) report.
Market analysts warn that this influx of crypto investment could hint at a short-term pullback, with CPI data potentially adding to downward pressure.
Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MNConsultancy, predicts Bitcoin may retrace about 10% before the CPI release.
He expects the price could drop to the 38.2% Fibonacci level, possibly reaching between $75,669 and $81,193, with support around $66,729 and liquidity at $64,130. Van de Poppe views this correction as a healthy pause before Bitcoin’s continued rally.
