Bitcoin price plunges - should you buy or sell?

ended 18. November 2025

Almost exactly one year after rising above $90,000 for the fist time in its history, Bitcoin has fallen back to that level after suffering a severe price crash.

A record-breaking rally took the cryptocurrency to a new all-time high above $125,000 last month.

Bitcoin was trading at $93,000 on Monday morning, marking a 25 per cent decrease over the last six weeks. It since fell to $90,000 today.

Previous price cycles have seen Bitcoin lose around 75 per cent of its value after hitting a record high.

  • What should you do regarding Bitcoin? Buy or sell?
  • What is your general view on Bitcoin? Is it too unstable, or is it a good investment?
  • Any predictions going forward for Bitcoin?

Bitcoin's 25% tumble from £100,000 to £72,000 might look scary, but savvy investors know the best opportunities come when others panic. This isn't Bitcoin's first rodeo; previous cycles saw 75% drops before recovering to new heights.
The volatility that makes crypto nerve-wracking also creates opportunities. With central banks printing money and inflation concerns growing, holding some digital assets makes sense for many portfolios. Smart money buys when prices drop, not when headlines scream new records. Dollar-cost averaging works better than timing the market, and if you believed in Bitcoin at £100,000, why not at £72,000? Just remember: crypto investing requires strong nerves and patience. Those who bought during previous crashes often did rather well, but only if they could stomach the ride.

I’ve repeatedly warned that Bitcoin makes no logical sense at all. It’s far too volatile to be a sensible currency, and as the recent falls show, it’s certainly not the ‘safe haven’ some claim it to be. Bitcoin has all the characteristics of a speculation, not an investment — and we’re not in the business of speculating for our clients.

Previous cycles have seen Bitcoin lose 75% of its value after hitting a peak, so a sharp drop is nothing new. Could it bounce again? Possibly. Could it fall much further? Absolutely. That’s the problem: no one can value it in any meaningful way.

For most long-term investors, my view remains simple — avoid getting caught up in the hype. Bitcoin may suit speculators who can afford large swings, but for those seeking sensible, long-term financial planning, its extreme instability makes it wholly unsuitable.

All macro indicators suggest a lot of high cap cryptocurrencies should be rising in value but instead they are falling. This points to a big sell off driven by those who have been in for a long time, those using leverage and some institutions who are struggling in other areas. Bitcoin itself still benefits from the same fundamentals which attracts those looking for a digital alternative to gold. Given the ETF and institutional adoption, I would consider this most recent reduction a good time to buy for retail investors

Bitcoin sliding back toward 90k feels dramatic, but it fits the pattern we normally see after new highs. If you’re investing with a long view, it still makes sense to hold. That said, the market does look like it could correct a bit further, which may give new buyers a better entry. It’s also worth remembering that Bitcoin is not the only place to look. Coins like ZEC have been outperforming strongly for months, showing that some altcoins can lead when Bitcoin cools off. XRP and other major names could also pick up interest as investors rotate into projects that still look undervalued. Crypto will always be volatile, but the long-term story for the space is intact. In the short term, we may see more action in altcoins than in Bitcoin as the market searches for the next mover.
