Will the Bearish Signal Lead to a 10% Drop in Bitcoin Price?
- An analyst at Goldman Sachs predicts a short-term and broad sell-off in risk assets.
- Expert Ted Pillows suggests Bitcoin could soon drop by about 10%, falling below $70,000.
Bitcoin is once again facing downward pressure as a key technical indicator is signaling concern.
At the same time, Wall Street giants, including Goldman Sachs, are raising alarms about a broader short-term sell-off in risk assets, potentially creating a negative backdrop for the flagship cryptocurrency.

On the daily chart, Bitcoin has formed a bearish crossover in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. This momentum indicator helps identify shifts in market conditions.
A “bearish cross” occurs when the MACD line (tracking short-term momentum) crosses the signal line (tracking long-term momentum) from above to below. Technical analysts view this as a strong signal that the bullish trend has been exhausted and bears are beginning to dominate the market.
While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices surged to record highs in early April due to strong corporate earnings and easing geopolitical tensions, Bitcoin remains in the red. It is currently about 39.6% below its all-time high of $126,080 reached seven months ago on October 6, 2025 (CoinGecko data).
Bitcoin’s technical indicators point to downside risks, and the macroeconomic environment offers little optimism. According to a Sunday note by Goldman Sachs’ head of Americas equity execution John Flood, investors should prepare for a short-term correction in risk assets.
However, the crypto community has long stopped relying heavily on analyst forecasts, whether institutional or individual. The halving cycle theory no longer works as it once did, and much now depends on institutional activity. At least one of them — Strategy — does not plan to stop buying Bitcoin until it accumulates 1 million BTC.
