Bitcoin has once again dropped below $90,000 as geopolitical tensions around Greenland escalate.

According to a recent price forecast by MN Capital CIO Michael Van de Popp, today's drop to $89,655 marks the fourth time in history that Bitcoin's bullish RSI has reached 30.

Gold-Bitcoin RSI hits bear market lows.

The last three times the Gold-Bitcoin RSI reached this low were during the bear market lows of 2015, 2018 and 2022.

“History shows that bitcoin is extremely undervalued relative to gold today. It's a smart buy,” Van de Pop said.

Prominent crypto investor Ansem notes that Bitcoin's past underperformance relative to gold has come from old holdings at a cost below $100,000, with a four-year cyclical high timeframe.

It expects to expire sometime in 2026.

Bitcoin is on the verge of rallying as crypto-heavy portfolios shift elsewhere, while gold and silver break out of a decade-long consolidation.

“BTC as a digital analog is easier to transport than gold, easier to trade with and generally a better asset in a highly digital world,” Ansem said.

Bitcoin Price Forecast: Daily Chart Shows Constructive Consolidation

Bitcoin's daily chart shows that the market is consolidating after a correction, with the structure gradually turning constructive but based on a support hold.

The price has made higher lows since December, showing an upward trend that improves demand and is more controlled than a panic exit.

A recent retracement from $95,000-$97,000 occurred below clearly defined resistance around $100,000-$101,000, confirming that sellers are highly active.

The green support zone around 88,000-$90,000 is the most important area now. This range is consistent with a rising trend line and early consolidation, making it a key level for bulls to defend against.

If the price holds above this zone, the broader structure remains intact and supports an upward move.

A sustained breakout will eliminate bullish build-up and pave the way for a deep retracement into the low-$80,000s.

The RSI hovers in the mid-40s, reflecting a neutral trend and supporting the thinking market is in a reset phase rather than an extended trend.

If Bitcoin continues to respect the $88,000-$90,000 support, the price may rise and test the $100,000-$101,000 resistance.

A clean break above would strengthen the bullish case and open avenues towards $105,000-$110,000.

For the bullish view to be accepted in 2021, Bitcoin would need to hold roughly $69,000 above the previous cycle's price peak in 2021.

“If we break there, with Saylor currently averaging about $75,000, trading below would be a full-size capital and generation buying opportunity,” Ansem said.

Time-wise, no new all-time highs will break this thesis in 2026. The allocations that drive gold's repeated highs will not be given to BTC, even though Bitcoin has a market cap of roughly $2 trillion, compared to gold's roughly $32 trillion.

Bitcoin Hyper Presale offers investors 38% API.

When Bitcoin finally breaks the $100,000 psychological resistance, established BTC-beta projects like Bitcoin Hyper will benefit greatly.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) develops the first functional Layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, using Solana-based technology to deliver speed and scalability while maintaining Bitcoin's security model.

The project has raised more than $30 million to enable Bitcoin-native dApps, giving BTC holders the opportunity to productively deploy on-chain tools to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
