Bitcoin Rainbow Chart Signals ‘Fire Sale’ Zone as BTC Enters Undervalued Territory

Bitcoin’s price has plunged into zones historically tagged by long‑term valuation models as “fire sale” levels, according to the latest Bitcoin Rainbow Chart from Bitcoin Magazine Pro. The sentiment‑laden nomenclature — often shared jokingly in bitcoin circles — now has a more serious undertone amid one of the deepest corrective phases in recent cycle history.

The Bitcoin Rainbow Chart is a long‑term logarithmic valuation tool and it overlays price against a spectrum of colored bands, historically interpreted as oversold, fairly valued, or overbought. 

After an extended drawdown from cycle highs, Bitcoin’s price now sits in one of the lower bands traditionally associated with deep undervaluation — colloquially referenced as “fire sale” territory. 

At the time of writing, BTC is struggling at the $83,000 level, after months of repeated sell-offs. BTC has shed roughly 30% of its value since early October 2025, trading as low as the $80,000s — triggering widespread leveraged liquidations.

A multibillion-dollar cascade wiped out leveraged positions, with BTC alone accounting for close to $960 million in forced exits in a single session, according to BM data.

BTC plunged to lows around $81,000 last evening, dropping roughly 10% from 48-hour highs above $90,000 amid macro uncertainty and fragile market structure, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro data. 

The sharp reversal followed the Federal Reserve meeting, where Powell highlighted labor market resilience without signaling urgent policy easing, turning the event into a “sell the news” moment for speculative assets.

Meanwhile, next week the White House will convene banking and crypto executives to discuss reviving stalled U.S. crypto legislation.

Is this sale the bottom for bitcoin?

BTC has plunged below its two-month-long safety net at the 100-week moving average around $85,000, signaling sellers have taken control. 

Traders are now eyeing $75,000 as the next key support level, while a drop toward the 200-week average near $58,000 could trigger further losses. 

Broader market turmoil, including a massive $357 billion drop in Microsoft’s value and concerns over AI investments, has spooked broader investors and liquidated $1.6 billion in crypto long positions. 

Over the last two days, gold prices reversed sharply from record highs above $5,500, falling back below $5,000 at times as investors booked profits and reacted to a firmer U.S. dollar. 

Silver plunged over 20% at times. The volatility in both metals highlights a broader market correction after historic gains, with sharp pullbacks testing the sustainability of the early‑year rally.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
