Bitcoin Dips Below $66,000 Amid AI Rally: Why Some Analysts Eye $50,000 Next

Bitcoin prices fell nearly 4.2% over the past day, going as low as $65,603 per token before slightly recovering to hover around $67,000. This price action was observed as the MSCI All Country World Index reached a new record high, driven by the AI rally.

The broad crypto market sell-off accelerated overnight even as global stock indexes hit fresh highs. The crypto flash crash follows several developments, including Michael Saylor's Strategy selling 32 BTC for the first time since September 2022, Mark Cuban offloading most of his BTC holdings after the token underperformed during the Middle East crisis, and long-time bulls like Robert Kiyosaki warning against blindly investing in cryptocurrencies and precious metals. A week of bearish news was intensified by Mt. Gox's $739 million transfer to a new wallet, stalled Middle East negotiations, and record spot BTC ETF outflows.

Traders on the Kalshi financial exchange are already pricing in a scenario where Bitcoin prices fall to $50,000 per token in 2026.
