Bitcoin’s sharp fall below $100,000 could be shaping the next major buying opportunity for those with a medium- to long-term horizon, according to the CEO of financial advisory giant deVere Group.
Nigel Green said the renewed slide — taking the benchmark cryptocurrency to $95,270 Monday morning, its weakest level since May — has triggered intense speculation whether deeper losses are on the way; but the underlying dynamics point to something very different.
“Volatility of this magnitude always provokes anxiety, but it also exposes value,” he said. “This moment demands perspective, not panic.”
Market data shows that Bitcoin has retreated more than 20% from its October peak, as selling pressure picks up among long-term holders and risk trades unwind across markets, amplifying the move.
Liquidity has thinned, leveraged positions have been flushed out and macro uncertainty around rates has tightened financial conditions, which is a combination that typically accelerates short-term swings.
Green argues that none of these factors alter the strategic case.
“Every major correction in Bitcoin’s history has opened the door to substantial upside for patient investors. This cycle is likely to be no exception,” the deVere founder and crypto advocate noted.
“The structural drivers are strengthening even as short-term sentiment weakens.”
He highlighted the fixed-supply model, the expanding participation of institutions and sovereign entities, and the embedding of digital-asset infrastructure across global finance.
“Bitcoin remains the reference asset for the digital economy. Its role is increasing, not diminishing,” Green said.
The recent selling by long-term holders is meaningful, yet the deVere chief executive sees it as part of a typical reset phase after an extended run.
He explained that investors offloading after sitting on large gains is not usually a breakdown signal but a clearing mechanism that has historically preceded stronger, more orderly advances.
Next expansion
“Corrections clear excess leverage, concentrate ownership and reset expectations. Those resets typically create fertile ground for the next expansion.”
Green believes many investors will bide their time before stepping back in.
“This period will likely attract capital that has been waiting on the sidelines for a decisive entry point,” he said.
“When the dust settles, the blend of lower prices, stronger hands and ongoing adoption becomes highly compelling.”
“Strategic allocations continue to rise because the long-term argument is becoming clearer. Bitcoin is positioning itself as a core component of diversified portfolios and high-net-worth investors are unlikely to abandon the momentum behind digital assets,” he added.
Green adds that short-term discomfort should not overshadow the broader trajectory.
“This is a market undergoing a natural recalibration after a powerful ascent. The noise is intense, but beneath it, the fundamentals remain aligned in a way that continues to support a bullish medium- to long-term view.”
As markets remain volatile, Green believes Bitcoin will stay on investor watchlists as one of the most closely analysed assets.
“The move below $100,000 is significant, but it’s not the defining feature of Bitcoin’s outlook. The defining feature is the pace at which adoption continues across financial systems worldwide,” he concluded.
