Bitcoin's 30% Drop: Magoon's Long-Term Buy Opportunity Perspective

Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs and an ETF industry pioneer [5,6], characterized Bitcoin’s recent 31% drop from its October 2025 all-time high ($126k) to ~$86k by Nov20 as a long-term buy opportunity, despite “stormy” market conditions [1]. The correction was driven by a confluence of factors: rising US yields reducing risk appetite [10], regulatory ambiguity from a government shutdown stalling SEC clarity [9], record outflows from BlackRock’s IBIT ETF [9], and cascading liquidations of leveraged long positions [8]. Magoon’s bullish stance aligns with his prior advocacy for crypto as part of the “debasement trade” amid inflation concerns [7], and his focus on crypto ETF strategies reflects Amplify’s blockchain fund management expertise (e.g., BLOK) [6].

• Magoon’s credibility (ETF pioneer, 25+ years experience, 70+ funds launched) adds weight to his long-term bullish view, which contrasts with near-term bearish sentiment (Reuters notes 30% chance of BTC finishing above $100k in 2025) [5,6,11].
• The correction has reduced excessive leverage, potentially creating a healthier foundation for future recovery if macro conditions improve [8].
• Regulatory ambiguity remains a critical cross-domain risk, linking policy uncertainty to institutional outflow trends (IBIT ETF outflows) [9].

• Near-term headwinds: Ongoing regulatory uncertainty post-government shutdown, rising US yields suppressing risk appetite, and low options market odds of year-end recovery above $100k [9,10,11].

• Long-term entry point highlighted by Magoon, with reduced leverage creating a healthier market base [1,8].
• Potential ETF flow shifts if investors adopt Magoon’s suggested crypto ETF strategies [1,6].

Regulatory clarity and US yield movements are the most time-sensitive factors affecting near-term stability.
