On-chain expert Willy Woo projects Bitcoin’s bottom may land between $46,000 and $54,000, citing the CVDD Floor Model near $45,500 and historical patterns from past bear markets. Bitcoin has declined from over $90,000 in late 2025 to around $66,500, with key metrics showing capital stored in BTC has been falling since November. Woo warns that because these models are based on only four prior downturns during broad bullish cycles, a larger market breakdown could push BTC into an uncharted, deeper bear trend. Meanwhile, prediction markets like Polymarket currently price a 54% chance of BTC hitting $45,000 by year-end, highlighting mixed sentiment between caution and opportunistic buying.

The Bitcoin network recently underwent an uncommon two‑block reorganization near block height 941,880, when competing chains briefly formed among major mining pools including Foundry USA, AntPool, and ViaBTC. In Bitcoin’s proof‑of‑work system, short reorganizations like this can occur when blocks are found nearly simultaneously, creating a temporary fork that’s resolved once one branch becomes longer and gains more cumulative work. Experts emphasize that shallow reorganizations are a natural part of Nakamoto consensus and do not signal an attack or failure, as the protocol always adopts the longest valid chain.

A joint task force has arrested 21 suspects, and FBI agents are now in Thailand tracing blockchain transactions to break up the entire network rather than just individual scammers.
