My dear, the crypto traders are simply not quaking in their bespoke brogues as they ought to be, according to some chap named Maksim Balashevich. Apparently, the market hasn’t hit its bottom yet-how utterly inconvenient! 🥂 He suggests Bitcoin could waltz down to a mere $75,000. How dreadfully gauche! 💃
“It looks frightfully tempting to come even closer to it,” Balashevich trilled in a YouTube video, as if he’s discussing the latest scandal at the Ritz. 🍾
A drop of 14.77% from its current price of $88,350? Good heavens, one might as well call it a fire sale! 🔥

Balashevich, the darling founder of Santiment, claims the crowd is far too optimistic-simply not enough pearl-clutching for his taste. “The crowd isn’t scared enough for a bottom,” he declared, as if he’s the arbiter of financial fright. 👻
Overly optimistic comments are “not what I want to see,” says Balashevich
“In one particularly retail-dominated channel, they’re prattling on about the Bank of Japan’s rate cuts and bears being caught,” he huffed. “These kinds of statements are simply not the done thing,” he added, clutching his metaphorical monocle. 🧐 If only the world would cooperate with his predictions, he’d be “very confident” in calling a bottom. How darling of him! 💅
Speaking of Japan, their central bank has pushed interest rates to a 30-year high of 0.75%. Thrilling! Historically, this has led to 20% corrections in Bitcoin. How utterly predictable. 📉
Balashevich, however, sees this as a “very good setup” for traders. How awfully generous of him! 🎁
Meanwhile, Jurrien Timmer from Fidelity predicts Bitcoin might take a “year off” in 2026, dropping to $65,000. How quaint! 🌴 Others, like Bitwise’s Matt Hougan, are far more bullish, forecasting an “up year.” How positively tiresome, these conflicting opinions! 🤷♂️
Crypto market indicators conflict with Balashevich’s outlook
While our dear Balashevich remains unconvinced, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has been wallowing in “Extreme Fear” since December 14th, scoring a mere 20 on Sunday. How utterly melodramatic! 😱
The Altcoin Season Index, meanwhile, is screaming “Bitcoin Season” with a score of 17 out of 100. How dreadfully risk-off! 🚨
So, my darlings, shall we wait for the crowd to panic sufficiently, or shall we simply enjoy the show? After all, the crypto market is nothing if not a splendid farce! 🎭🤑
