Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone has described Bitcoin's position near $100,000 as a pivotal test rather than a milestone. He warns that historically low volatility across equity and cryptocurrency markets may signal impending turbulence. Bitcoin's correlation to the S&P 500 remains above 0.53, indicating continued alignment with traditional markets despite its digital gold narrative.

JPMorgan Chase owned 5,284,190 shares of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) worth $343 million at the end of Q3 2025, according to regulatory filings. The position represents a 64% increase from the 3.22 million shares the bank reported in Q2. IBIT, which holds actual Bitcoin in cold storage through custodian Coinbase, is part of a spot Bitcoin ETF sector that collectively manages $110 billion across 11 issuers.

American Bitcoin, a Nasdaq-listed mining firm linked to President Donald Trump's sons, expanded its Bitcoin treasury by 139 BTC, bringing total holdings to $415 million, according to a November 7 announcement. The company's shares closed at $4.64 on the announcement date, up 2.20% despite intraday volatility between $4.08 and $4.65. The firm accumulates Bitcoin through mining operations and strategic market purchases.

Bitcoin has fallen below $100,000, reaching its lowest level in six months and trading 20% below its record high of $126,000. Long-term holders have sold more than 1 million coins since June. Analysts caution that weakening support could drive prices toward $70,000, according to CoinGecko data.

Strategy Inc. has completed a $715 million Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock offering at $80 per share, with proceeds earmarked for Bitcoin purchases and operational liquidity. The offering exceeded its initial $405 million target due to strong institutional demand. The company's Bitcoin holdings now total 641,205 BTC with a cumulative acquisition cost of approximately $47.49 billion.

ARK Invest has reduced its bullish Bitcoin price target for 2030 from $1.5 million to $1.2 million per coin. CEO Cathie Wood attributed the $300,000 downward revision to faster-than-expected stablecoin adoption in emerging markets, where digital dollar equivalents are increasingly used for transactions and savings. Wood maintains that Bitcoin retains its role as digital gold and the crypto ecosystem's reserve currency, with stablecoins serving complementary functions in everyday commerce.

Bitcoin has declined to around $100,200 after giving up gains above $104,000. The Coinbase Premium Gap—measuring the price difference between Coinbase (USD pair) and Binance (USDT pair)—has stayed negative over the past week, indicating sustained selling pressure from Coinbase users, particularly U.S.-based institutional investors, according to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn.

Bitcoin's Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has declined to the 1.8–2.0 range, a valuation zone that has historically coincided with major market bottoms. The metric, which compares Bitcoin's market capitalization to its aggregate cost basis, reached similar levels during market lows in June 2021, November 2022, and April 2025, according to market analysts.
