Bitcoin is trading under $90,000, marking its lowest point in a month. The cryptocurrency has fallen over 7% this week, currently hovering around $88,948. However, according to PlanB, the creator of the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model, these price corrections are normal in Bitcoin’s growth cycles.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PlanB pointed out that back in the 2016-2017 bull market (which the current market cycle is copying), Bitcoin had several price drops of more than 30% before reaching new all-time highs. The analyst backed up his claims by posting a price chart of BTC during that time.
Blockchain intelligence firm Arkham reported that BlackRock recently moved $150 million worth of Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime. These moves are outflows from the IBIT Bitcoin ETF, which suggests institutional investors might be taking profits. These large transactions can add to selling pressure.

But, there was positive news as well. Even though there was a sharp price correction, on-chain data shows that long-term holders are buying more Bitcoin during this dip. Analyst Ali Martinez showed that long-term holders have added nearly 20,400 BTC. This signals confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.

In addition, BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes shared his thoughts on the macroeconomic and political factors affecting Bitcoin’s price.
He suggests that if United States president Donald Trump fails to pass his budget and debt ceiling increases stall, we could see Bitcoin retest pre-election victory levels between $75,000 and $70,000. He advised investors to wait before putting their money in crypto.
