Bitcoin outlook divides as Goldman sees a floor but analysts warn of deeper drops amid options expiry

Goldman Sachs told clients that bitcoin and broader crypto prices may have hit a floor after months of declines and highlighted select crypto-related stocks with potential upside, signaling a possible turning point for the market ^{[1] [2]}.

Contrasting views persist among independent analysts: one expert has publicly predicted a potential 75% crash in Bitcoin’s price, and others argue the recent expansion is over and that Bitcoin may not resume a sustained rally until current structural issues are resolved ^{[3] [4]}.

Traders are also preparing for short-term upheaval ahead of a major options expiry this Friday, which market reports say could increase volatility and influence price direction in the near term ^[5].

Technical commentators continue to point to specific price thresholds as key signals: one well-known analyst said a clean break above $75,000 would validate a bull case for Bitcoin, while a drop below $65,000 would undermine that view in the short term ^[6].

Overall, coverage shows market participants are split between signs of a potential bottom from institutional research and warnings of deeper declines from independent analysts; near-term price action is likely to be shaped by the upcoming options expiry and whether Bitcoin breaches the cited $65,000–$75,000 range ^{[1] [5] [6] [3]}.
