However, short-term holders are now experiencing losses, increasing the risk of further selling.<\/p>\n<p>One key concern is the slowdown in new capital inflows. A decline in fresh investment typically signals weaker demand, making it harder for Bitcoin to sustain critical support levels. If this trend continues, BTC could remain stuck in consolidation or even face further declines as investors offload their holdings.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoin-could-plunge-over-75-warns-economist-peter-schiff\/\" title=\"Bitcoin Could Plunge Over 75%, Warns Economist Peter Schiff\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/bitcoinredbtc-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin Could Plunge Over 75%, Warns Economist Peter Schiff<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Analysts believe that Bitcoin\u2019s next move depends on whether institutional investors and long-term holders step in to absorb selling pressure.
