Bitcoin crosses a new striking correction, falling at $ 85,760 after reaching a historic summit of $ 101,000 in January 2025. This 16 % drop echoes a surprising prediction of Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder of Binance, who had anticipated this scenario since December 2020.
Bitcoin plunges $ 85,000: Changpeng Zhao announced it 4 years earlier!
The Crypto market is once again shaken by a brutal correction. This February 26, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is negotiated at $ 85,760, recording a fall of 16 % compared to its summit of $ 101,000, reached last January. This correction, although worrying for certain investors, recalls an astonishing prediction made by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, more than four years ago.
On December 17, 2020, in the middle of the bitcoin bull market, CZ had published an ironic tweet that is rebuilding today:
At the time, this declaration could seem exaggerated, even unrealistic, while Bitcoin was negotiated around $ 28,000. However, the scenario described by the founder of Binance took place with surprising precision: after having crossed the symbolic threshold of $ 100,000 in January 2025, the BTC underwent a strong correction, falling precisely in the range announced by CZ.
A classic correction or a disturbing signal?
Corrections after historical peaks are common on the cryptocurrency market. In 2017, Bitcoin had reached $ 20,000 before diving under $ 4,000 in 2018. More recently, after the Bull Run of 2021, the BTC dropped from $ 69,000 to $ 15,000 in 2022, causing a prolonged crypto winter.
However, some analysts believe that this 16 % fall in the BTC could only be a breathing in the market before a new rally. Others are concerned about a possible lowering reversal, especially due to macroeconomic uncertainties and increasingly strict regulations on cryptocurrencies.
Be that as it may, the prophecy of Changpeng Zhao on Bitcoin recalls an essential thing: in the world of cryptos, spectacular corrections are not synonymous with collapse, but are part of the natural cycle of the market. Besides, Bernstein advises to buy during this period.
