Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC hits $85K as Microstrategy announces largest ever single-day purchase

Source Fxstreet

Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high of $85,000 on Monday, November 11, up 26% from the US election day. As the crypto market rally enters its seventh consecutive day of gains, on-chain data shows that Microstrategy’s fresh acquisition plan could potentially drive BTC further toward $100,000 in the coming weeks.

Key Points:

Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high of $85,000 on Monday, up 26% from the US election day.
MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor announced the purchase of 27,000 BTC valued at $2 billion, its highest single-day purchase ever since it kicked off its ‘Bitcoin strategy’ in 2020.
On-chain data shows Bitcoin’s issuance rate has dropped to an average of around 500 BTC daily, following the April 2024 halving event.

Why is Bitcoin price going up?

Bitcoin hits $82,500 as Microstrategy announces 27K BTC purchase

On November 11, 2024, Bitcoin price reached a new global peak of $82,578, as the post-election market frenzy entered its second week.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the president of the OKX Exchange attributed the Bitcoin rally to investors’ optimism that Trump’s presidency could be good for the economy and offer a friendlier regulatory stance toward cryptocurrencies.

In further affirmation of this stance, Microstrategy, one of the largest corporate Bitcoin investors, has announced its largest ever single-day BTC purchase.

Posting on X on Monday, Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor announced the purchase of 27,000 BTC at a cost price of $2.03 billion, its largest single-day purchase since it kicked-off its “Bitcoin strategy” in 2020.

According to on-chain data culled from SaylorTracker.com, this brings the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 279,420 BTC ($23.09 billion) at the time of publication.

This purchase comes just a week after Saylor announced a $21 billion stock offering of its own stock last week to raise capital as part of a strategic plan to buy $42 billion worth of BTC over the next three years.

Arithmetically, to hit the $42 billion target, Microstrategy is expected to purchase approximately $1.6 billion per month worth of BTC over the next 36 months.

Hence the $2 billion investment announced on Monday could be the start of a potential $5 billion acquisition plan before the end of 2024.

Microstrategy now acquiring 76% of newly-mined Bitcoin

Taking a cue from previous bull cycles, Bitcoin’s recent rally has raised fears of impending downward volatility.

However, Bitcoin 2024 halving and Microstrategy’s $42 billion acquisition plan could potentially cushion impending downward volatility.

On-chain data compiled by MacroMicro shows Bitcoin’s issuance rate has dropped to an average of ~500 BTC daily ($420 million), following the latest halving event executed in April 2024.

Arithmetically, at current prices of around $85,000 per coin, if Microstrategy follows through with its $42 billion acquisition plan, the US-based IT firm could be acquiring $390 million of BTC daily, which accounts for over 76% of newly-mined BTC.

By absorbing fresh BTC supply, Microstrategy could clear the path for Bitcoin price to rapidly advance toward $100,000, if demand remains steady in the coming months.

Bitcoin price forecast: Bulls now eyeing $90k breakout

Aside from positive speculations around Trump’s win, Bitcoin on-chain data trends show that the BTC rally has been supported by substantial buying interest from large investors, particularly Microstrategy’s recent record-breaking $2.03 billion purchase.

In terms of short-term BTC price forecast, the Parabolic SAR indicator, currently well below the price at $69,551, confirms a strong uptrend.

This suggests that bullish sentiment is still dominant. This level now acts as a critical support. As long as BTC holds above it, further upside momentum remains in play.

More so, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) indicator, which measures the difference between the highest price and the exponential moving average (EMA) to assess the balance between buyers and sellers short-term activity, gives more credence to the thesis. Positive BBP values indicate bullish strength, while negative values signal bearish pressure.

In the current setup, Bitcoin’s BBP is trending at six-month peaks, confirming that buying pressure remains at unusually high levels despite the recent rally.

Given the bullish BBP readings, rising trading volumes, and large acquisitions from whale investors like Microstrategy, BTC could soon break past $84,000, setting the stage for a potential rally toward the next psychological resistance at $90,000.

Bitcoin Slides 5% as Sellers Lean In — Can BTC Reclaim $88,000?Bitcoin has dropped back below $88,000 after rolling over from $90,500, with price still trading under the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The sell-off found a floor at $85,151, and BTC is now consolidating near that base, but rebounds are facing pressure from a bearish trend line around $89,000. Bulls need to retake $88,000–$89,000 to ease downside risk; failure to do so keeps $85,500–$85,000 and then $83,500 in play, with $80,000 as the deeper “line in the sand.” Bitcoin (BTC) is back in damage-control mode after a sharp pullback wiped out recent gains. The price failed to reclaim the $90,000–$90,500 band, rolled over, and slid through $88,500 before briefly dipping under $87,000. Buyers did show up around $85,000, but the rebound so far looks more like stabilization than a clear trend reversal. Bitcoin dips hard, finds a bid near $85,000（h3） BTC’s latest move lower began when it couldn’t build follow-through above $90,000 and $90,500. Once that upside stalled, sellers took control and pushed price down through $88,500. The slide accelerated enough to spike below $87,000, but the market didn’t free-fall. Bulls defended the $85,000 zone, printing a low at $85,151. Since then, Bitcoin has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $93,560 swing high to the $85,151 low — a clue that the bounce is still shallow and that sellers haven’t fully backed off yet. Structurally, BTC is still on the back foot: It’s trading below $88,000, and It remains below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, keeping short-term trend pressure pointed downward. Resistance is layered, and $89,000 is the problem area（h3） If bulls try to turn this into a recovery, they’ll have to climb through multiple ceilings in quick succession. First, BTC faces resistance around $87,150, followed by a more meaningful barrier near $87,500. From there, the market’s attention snaps back to $88,000 — the level BTC just lost and now needs to reclaim. A close back above $88,000 would improve the tone, but it doesn’t solve the bigger issue: there’s a bearish trend line on the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken feed) with resistance near $89,000, which also lines up with the next technical hurdle. If BTC can push through $89,000 and hold, the rebound could extend toward $90,000, with follow-through targets at $91,000 and $91,500. But until price clears that $88,000–$89,000 zone, rallies are at risk of being sold rather than chased. If BTC fails to reclaim resistance, the downside path is clear（h3） The near-term bear case is simple: if Bitcoin can’t climb back above the $87,000 area and keep traction, sellers may attempt another leg lower. Support levels line up like this: Immediate support: $85,500 First major support: $85,000 Next support: $83,500 Then $82,500 in the near term Below that, the major “don’t break this” level is still $80,000. If BTC slips under $80,000, the risk of acceleration to the downside increases significantly — not because it’s magic, but because it’s the kind of psychological and structural level that tends to trigger forced de-risking. Indicators: momentum still leans bearish（h3） The intraday indicators aren’t offering much comfort yet: Hourly MACD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI remains below 50, suggesting sellers still have the upper hand on short timeframes. So while the $85,000 defense held for now, the market hasn’t flipped bullish — it’s just stopped bleeding.
