Bitcoin Stalls Near $90,000 as Traders Weigh Breakdown Risks vs. Breakout Hopes

Technical views split at a decision zone, with ETF inflows returning alongside thin liquidity.

Overview

  • Veteran trader Peter Brandt says the recent bounce may be a final retest of a bearish broadening top, flagging downside that could start below $70,000 and extend toward the mid-$40,000s.
  • Near-term resistance around $93,000–$95,000 is capping price, while analysts say a confirmed daily break could target roughly $98,200 to $107,500.
  • Multiple charts highlight layered support at $87,600–$86,000, a stronger area near $84,000, and a deeper cushion around $74,500–$71,200 if selling accelerates.
  • U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs have posted eight positive sessions out of the last ten, suggesting tentative institutional re-entry after November outflows.
  • K33 Research argues a December rebound looks more plausible than a major collapse, citing supportive $70,000–$80,000 levels, cautious positioning, and subdued leverage.
