The recent drop in Bitcoin prices ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States has led analysts to discuss the digital asset’s possible price recovery after such a sharp drop.
The leading cryptocurrency has seen a significant decline recently, falling 9% from its recent all-time high of $99,500. Crypto market experts attributed this to panic selling by short-term holders, leading to widespread panic across the entire cryptocurrency space.

Signs of a possible price recovery emerged on Wednesday, with BTC returning to $96,000, a pullback that shattered all previous price records. Analysts are wondering whether the current Bitcoin price decline could follow the annual tradition of regaining its stability shortly after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. “A critical level to watch is the $90,000 level, which many believe could act as a supportive base for a potential recovery,” CoinOtages said in a recent report.
Looking at past records of market behavior, especially around the upcoming Thanksgiving, several analysts have hypothesized that some contextual lessons should be taken into account. According to Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital, a similar pattern was observed in 2020 when a similar Bitcoin price drop saw BTC lose 17% of its value. Thorn believes in the idea of a potential price recovery, noting that the digital asset has recovered quickly, showing a three-fold recovery in five months.

According to crypto expert James Van Straten, market dynamics have intensified recently, with $4 billion worth of BTC liquidated, one of the biggest drops in recent history. Staten notes that the events of the past few days have been so significant that they overshadowed the previous liquidation that took place last August.
But on a positive note, Thorn highlights the possibility of a potential price recovery, assuming that the ongoing Bitcoin price decline could be put on an upward trajectory. “The historical parallels beg the question: does history rhyme?” he muses.
As Bitcoin has carved out a niche as a potential store of value and a digital alternative to gold, the digital asset has often traded alongside the stock market. Wednesday’s trading provides a perfect example of where it could be disconnecting from the NASDAQ as it fell 0.6%.
Coinbase, on the other hand, rose at least 6% as Bitcoin mirrored other crypto stocks. Crypto trading, which most analysts believe has benefited greatly from the expected crypto-friendly environment heralded by the Trump 2.0 victory, saw Robinhood rise 3% and MicroStrategy stock rise 9%.

Despite the current Bitcoin price drop, BTC has broken several records since the November 5 US election results, gaining more than 38% in the past few days. Last Friday was the peak when Bitcoin rose to $99,849.99 before falling back to almost $90,000 this week. “Bitcoin bull markets have legs,” said Galaxy Digital’s Thorn, attributing what he calls corrections and disruptions to what is normal.
The analyst believes that anything, including the slightest actions by the Biden administration, could cause tension in the markets, even in the twilight days. But Thorn suggests that the combination of positive factors such as the incoming Trump administration’s nation-state adoption of Bitcoin and continued institutional and growing corporate adoption are solid sentiments that could play well into a potential price recovery. Thorn adds that the new administration is “shaping up to be very pro-Bitcoin, and solid positioning and network data point higher in the near to medium term.”

While the recent drop in Bitcoin prices as the annual holiday in the United States approaches has caught the attention of many observers, historical trends suggest that a potential price recovery could still be on the horizon.
While market players are cautiously monitoring market volatility, careful observation of market sentiments and key price levels suggests a potential recovery once Thanksgiving is over. Bitcoin remains up 126% for the year, and most enthusiasts still believe it could reach $100,000 by the end of 2024.
