Looks like we're in a bear market with Bitcoin's price dropping. In 2021 it peaked around 69k and now it’s under 15k. I feel like it could go below 65k this time. What do you all think?

Let's get the numbers right. Bitcoin hit 69000 in Nov 2021 and fell to 15500 in 2022. Charts suggest 100k might be a tough barrier. Can't say for sure if we're in a bear market yet, but things are looking rough.
With ETF inflows slowing and Bitcoin being constantly sold off, it's definitely looking bearish. Analysts are saying BTC might hit a new low soon. But hey, I doubt it’ll fall to 65k. Bear markets can be a good time to buy, though.
Honestly, Bitcoin could drop below what you're thinking. The way people hype prices during bull runs, we gotta prepare for similar drops in bear markets. But with more institutional buyers, the sell pressure could be lighter this time.

Bear markets are just as needed as bull ones. They serve a purpose for the market's health. Even if we’re heading towards a bear phase, the involvement of institutional investors could make this one different than the past.

Use 'k' after your numbers, it’s less confusing. For sure, a bear market is on the way; just not sure when. But those in it for the long haul shouldn’t sweat it too much.

I don’t think we’re in a bear market yet. Just because Bitcoin dipped to 100k doesn’t mean we’re there. But yeah, it might hit 65k or even 50k soon. And a bear market can be tough, especially with the economy the way it is.
Feels like OP is itching for a bear market. But yeah, figuring out the market's direction is tricky. Is this a dip or have we hit bear territory? Some folks wait for monthly or yearly closes to decide.
For sure, figuring out the market is tough. Some folks rely too heavily on predictions, which leads them to miss buying opportunities. The time to buy is now, just hodl for the future.

Whatever anyone says is just speculation since the market is unpredictable. I get why you think we’re in a bear market, but it’s also a good time to grab Bitcoin at lower prices.

While Bitcoin may dip in this bear phase, we really don’t know how low it will actually go. Might hit 65k, but that’s pure speculation at this point.
It's funny how some want to sell at a loss. Panic selling is a big mistake. Those who have been in the game know that Bitcoin has ups and downs, and selling now could lead to big regrets later.
The opposite could happen too. Big players like BlackRock are buying a lot, but they’re not committed to selling. I wouldn’t count on them helping in a bear market either.
If the drop keeps going, I’d say we’re officially in a bear market. Bitcoin’s reacting to global tensions, which is impacting prices negatively.
Predicting the market is tough, especially with various factors affecting it. If institutional demand stays high, we might see a milder bear. Otherwise, it could be rough.

Can’t believe people are panicking over price drops. If Bitcoin hits 94k and then drops more, that’s still a chance to buy. Just hold on to what you have and wait.
I mentioned this earlier. Technically, the market seems to be heading for a pullback. We broke past some resistance but now we're seeing selling pressure, which ain't good.

If we’re looking at a bear market now, there’s lots of speculation involved. But it could mean Bitcoin prices dip under 65k if things keep going like this.
Great time to buy if you ask me. Many are panicking, but that thinking might keep them from making the most out of current prices.

Not sure how far Bitcoin will fall. It may not mirror previous bear markets due to institutional involvement. 65k might be reachable, but it could take a while.
