Bitcoin Drops Below $87,000 as Bears Target $84,000 Support Break

Bitcoin Drops Below $87,000 as Bears Target $84,000 Support Break

Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

What a disastrous weekly close for Bitcoin, that about sums it up. After tapping $98,000 resistance the week prior, the bitcoin price just went straight down last week to close near the lows at $86,588. The bulls have been corralled back into their pens and will need a lot of help to break out once again. The bears will look to continue their momentum into this week to break down the $84,000 support level once and for all, and take the price down to the low $70,000 area. Bulls must defend $84,000 like never before to avoid a breakdown this week.

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

The bears are back in town. $87,000 support has been lost, and $84,000 may not hold another test. If the bears can manage to get a daily close or two below $84,000, the price should accelerate down to the $72,000 to $68,000 support zone. We likely see a bounce from down there, but if it eventually gives wa,y we will look to the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level at $58,000.

After grinding above several resistance levels recently, the bulls are back where they started. Bulls must reclaim $88,000 first and foremost. From there, they will look to get above $91,400, then $94,000 once again. $98,000 has proven itself as strong resistance above here. In the unlikely event the bulls can push above $98,000, it should be a slow go up to $103,500.

Outlook For This Week

This week is make-or-break for the bulls. Failure to defend $84,000 this week will likely send the price down to new lows. There is a large slate of big companies reporting earnings this week, so if the results are very strong, it could help buoy the bitcoin price to sustain major support levels. Although correlations to stocks have been weak lately, there are no guarantees that bitcoin will benefit from any upward market movement. Odds are in the bears’ favor for a breakdown this week.

Market mood: Bearish – The bulls showed some strength in the prior week for a slight advantage, but the bears took full control last week, driving the price right back down to the lows.

The next few weeks

The weekly chart was looking for a bounce recently, and it got one. The price action this past week, however, has put in a strong indication that this bounce may be over and new lows may be on the horizon as the price closed below the 100-week SMA. The MACD oscillator is firmly in bearish territory, and while it looked like it may see a bullish cross last week, the bears came out in force and prevented that bullish cross from taking place. The relative strength index has crossed back down below the 13 SMA and sits in a bearish posture once again.

Terminology Guide

Bulls/Bullish: Buyers or investors expecting the price to go higher.

Bears/Bearish: Sellers or investors expecting the price to go lower.

Support or support level: A level at which the price should hold for the asset, at least initially. The more touches on support, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold the price.

Resistance or resistance level: Opposite of support.  The level that is likely to reject the price, at least initially. The more touches at resistance, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold back the price.

SMA: Simple Moving Average. Average price based on closing prices over the specified period. In the case of RSI, it is the average strength index value over the specified period.

Oscillators: Technical indicators that vary over time, but typically remain within a band between set levels. Thus, they oscillate between a low level (typically representing oversold conditions) and a high level (typically representing overbought conditions). E.G., Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD).

RSI Oscillator: The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that moves between 0 and 100. It measures the speed of the price and changes in the speed of the price movements. When RSI is over 70, it is considered to be overbought. When RSI is below 30, it is considered to be oversold.

MACD Oscillator: Moving Average Convergence-Divergence is a momentum oscillator that subtracts the difference between 2 moving averages to indicate trend as well as momentum.

Bitcoin Price Outlook: Bulls Eye $98,000 Breakout After Holding $90,000 Zone

Bitcoin Magazine

Bitcoin Price Outlook: Bulls Eye $98,000 Breakout After Holding $90,000 Zone

Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

Well, the bitcoin price action was looking quite bearish after last week’s close, but the bulls managed to maintain the bullish structure around the $90,000 level and made that push up to $98,000 resistance. The price retreated from there and closed the week out at $93,638. Expect the bulls to take another run at the $98,000 resistance level this week and aim for the upper end of this resistance zone at $103,500 if they can sustain price action above $98,000. Early in the week, support at $91,400 may be tested and must hold for the bulls to continue their charge.

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

The bulls have finally made some progress, chipping away at overhead resistance. The bulls will look to regain the $94,000 level as short-term support this week. If they can keep the momentum going, they will once again challenge the $98,000 resistance and try to push to the upper end of this zone at $103,500. Closing days at the upper end of this zone should usher in a move up to the next major resistance zone at $106,000 to $109,000. This area should be very strong resistance, but $116,000 lies beyond this range at the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement if the bulls’ strength can persist.

Look for bulls to defend the $91,400 level with authority, as losing this level would give the bears some renewed confidence to push the price down even lower. $87,000 would look to contain price action below there, and act as a doorway to the major $84,000 support level. Breaking $84,000 support opens up the low $70,000 area for a test.

Outlook For This Week

Bulls should attempt to capitalize on their recent resolve heading into this week. Look for another test of $98,000 if they can manage to regain $94,000 early this week. However, a more bearish test of the $91,400 support is possible here as well, but as long as bulls can hold this level, bullish bias remains, and re-challenging $98,000 is in the cards. Closing a day above $98,000 should lead the price towards $103,500.

Market mood: Slightly Bullish – The bulls finally managed to show some resilience here as they defended the $90,000 area last week. Price action leans in their favor heading into this week.

The next few weeks
The bulls have held onto some momentum over the past week, but they are entering some heavier resistance areas now. If bulls can push even higher, above $100,000, they will start entering an area where we could see a major price reversal. $103,500 to $109,000 should be a tough zone to conquer, and we should not be surprised to see price kicked back down with authority from this area over the coming weeks. Holding support from there would be critical in determining whether this rally can keep going to new highs or if it finally gives way to new lows below $80,000.

Bulls/Bullish: Buyers or investors expecting the price to go higher.

Bitcoin Bears Hold $94K Resistance as Price Drops to $90,891 Weekly Close

Bitcoin Bears Hold $94K Resistance as Price Drops to $90,891 Weekly Close

Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

Bitcoin buyers made a nice push to $94,000 resistance again last week, but the price promptly sold off again from this level to close the week out at $90,891. Sunday’s close gave us a doji candle, indicating indecision and a potential reversal back in the bears’ favor. The bulls are once again looking lethargic as they lack the follow-through necessary to overtake resistance. Bears are in the driver’s seat heading into this week. Look for them to try to push the price down through the $87,000 support level to make another attempt at breaking $84,000 support.

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

The bulls are looking for support at the $87,000 level to hold if bears manage to keep the push lower going here. $84,000 still sits as strong support below here, but will weaken with any further pressure. If the bears can manage to break this support, the price is sure to accelerate down to the low $70,000 area, with a close below $68,000 required to lose this support level. Below this zone, bulls will look to gain some sort of strength off the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $58,000.

Bears will look to defend the $91,400 level as resistance over the short term here. The resistance at $94,000 has done its job so far, but it will be under heavy pressure if bulls can muster the strength to get the price back up there. Above $94,000, there is a resistance zone that stretches from $98,000 up to $103,500. Above here, we have another resistance zone from $106,000 up to $109,000 at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement from the drop from the top down to $80,000.

Outlook For This Week

Wounded bulls need some help to hang on to momentum this week. Look for the bears to push the price down to $87,000 early in the week and possibly below it. Bulls will try to stop the price from closing any days below $87,000. If the bears manage a daily close below here, $84,000 support will be under heavy threat, and the bulls will need buyers to step up to the plate with some big volume to hold this support level once again.

Market mood: Bearish – After a weekly shooting star doji candle close, the bulls’ momentum has faded. The bears have tilted control slightly in their favor to start this week.

The next few weeks
Price action may remain choppy and confined within a range over the next few weeks. Bulls need to see a close above $94,000 to break above this range and look for upward momentum, while bears need to see a close below $84,000 to try to break down below this major support level. Between $94,000 and $84,000 is now a neutral zone, where bulls and bears may battle back and forth. Neither side is poised to take firm control of the price action until either of these boundaries is broken.

Terminology Guide:

Bulls/Bullish: Buyers or investors expecting the price to go higher.

Bears/Bearish: Sellers or investors expecting the price to go lower.

Support or support level: A level at which the price should hold for the asset, at least initially. The more touches on support, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold the price.

Resistance or resistance level: Opposite of support.  The level that is likely to reject the price, at least initially. The more touches at resistance, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold back the price.

Shooting Star Candle: A candlestick that occurs after an uptrend, marked by a long wick upwards above the candle body and a smaller wick (or no wick) to the downside. The long wick up indicates strong selling near the highs. This candle can often indicate the end of an uptrend.

Doji Candle: A candlestick that closes at nearly the same price at which it opened. This candle indicates indecision, and can signal a reversal in price action if it occurs after an uptrend or downtrend.

Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions: Ratios based on what is known as the golden ratio, a universal ratio pertaining to growth and decay cycles in nature. The golden ratio is based on the constants Phi (1.618) and phi (0.618).

Bitcoin Weekly Analysis: Momentum Builds Toward $98,000 Amid Neutral Mood

Bitcoin Weekly Analysis: Momentum Builds Toward $98,000 Amid Neutral Mood

After remaining relatively sideways through the Christmas and New Year’s weeks, the bitcoin price made a small move higher over this past weekend. Bitcoin price closed the week at $91,489, just above the short-term resistance level at $91,400. If bulls can sustain above this level, they should take another run at the $94,000 resistance level this week, which has kept a lid on the price since mid-November. $98,000 is within reach this week as well.

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

Bulls will try to carry some momentum into the New Year here and take out the $94,000 resistance level. Above $94,000, we have $98,000, where resistance really starts to pick up, and stretches from there all the way up to $103,500. This area is poised well to reject the price if it can climb above $94,000. $109,000 provides a likely final ceiling for the price that will be extremely tough to conquer. If the price gets above $109,000, we can start talking about potentially seeing new highs.

The bulls will want to hold support at $87,000 if the bears can manage to drive the price down there. $84,000 is still strong support below there, but it will weaken with further touches. If $84,000 support fails, we will look down to the $72,000 to $68,000 support zone as a strong level to produce a bounce.

Outlook For This Week

Sleepy bears have let up a little over the past few weeks. This week, the bulls will likely try to take advantage of this by continuing to push the price higher into the next resistance level, so look for the bulls to make another attempt at $94,000. $98,000 should keep a lid on things this week if bulls can manage to push past $94,000. If bulls fail to hold the $91,400 level this week, look for them to defend the $87,000 level to give themselves another attempt at getting above it and taking on $94,000 once again.

Market mood: Neutral – Bulls have managed to hold support levels over the past few weeks and have a bit of upward momentum this week. The bearish mood has softened to a more neutral level.

The next few weeks
The weekly chart has been sandwiched between the lower trend line of the broadening wedge above and the weekly 100 SMA below for several weeks now. One of them had to break, and for now, it is the trend line resistance that has eroded away to give the bulls a chance to push higher. Long-term bias is still bearish, however, so look for any bullish move to find a top over the coming weeks and come back down to test support at $87,000 to $84,000. Closing any weeks below $84,000 at this point will set bears up to drop the price down to the next support level in the low $70,000 range. On the upside, the bulls will need to sustain weekly closes above $100,000 to try to turn the long-term trend around.

Terminology Guide:

Bulls/Bullish: Buyers or investors expecting the price to go higher.

Bears/Bearish: Sellers or investors expecting the price to go lower.

Support or support level: A level at which the price should hold for the asset, at least initially. The more touches on support, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold the price.

Resistance or resistance level: Opposite of support.  The level that is likely to reject the price, at least initially. The more touches at resistance, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold back the price.

SMA: Simple Moving Average. Average price based on closing prices over the specified period. In the case of RSI, it is the average strength index value over the specified period.

Broadening Wedge: A chart pattern consisting of an upper trend line acting as resistance and a lower trend line acting as support. These trend lines must diverge away from each other in order to validate the pattern. This pattern is a result of expanding price volatility, typically resulting in higher highs and lower lows.

Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions: Ratios based on what is known as the golden ratio, a universal ratio pertaining to growth and decay cycles in nature. The golden ratio is based on the constants Phi (1.618) and phi (0.618).

Bitcoin Price Outlook: Bulls Target $94,000 Break for Momentum Into New Year

Bitcoin Magazine

Bitcoin Price Outlook: Bulls Target $94,000 Break for Momentum Into New Year

Last week, bulls needed to hold closes above $85,000 to stave off the bears, and they managed to do just that. Bitcoin price dropped to support once again last week, and the bulls defended it well, pushing the price back up to close the week out at $88,656. The price on the weekly chart has been rejecting from the lower trend line of the broadening wedge pattern for several weeks now, but the trend line is so low now that the price should push above it this week. If it fails to do so this week, look for the price to take the next leg down into the low $70,000 range.

Bitcoin Price Outlook: Bulls Target $94,000 Break for Momentum Into New Year

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

Bulls will want to continue the push this week, level by level if need be. Initial resistance sits at $91,400, with the next level at $94,000. Above here, we should see very strong resistance at $98,000. Then we should see a fairly strong resistance zone from $101,000 all the way up to $108,000. Closing above $108,000 would start to place severe doubts on the long-term top being in place here.

The $84,000 support level below is proving to be resilient, holding up again this past week. If it is lost, the expected support levels below have not changed. The $72,000 to $68,000 zone should be expected to support the price on a first test at the least. Closing below $68,000 likely leads to a slow grind down to the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement support at $57,000.

Bitcoin Price Outlook: Bulls Target $94,000 Break for Momentum Into New Year

Outlook For This Week

The bears may be getting a little flustered with their recent failure to break support. This week, look for the bulls to push back a bit harder as they gain some confidence after holding support once again. Market liquidity should be low for Christmas week, so price movement may be lacking. There are some very large long-dated bitcoin options expiring on December 26th, however, with a max pain price of $100,000, so look for the price to try to push closer to the $100,000 level this week.

Bitcoin Price Outlook: Bulls Target $94,000 Break for Momentum Into New Year

Market mood: Bearish – Bulls are pushing back a little here, but they still need to prove it to the bears with some positive price action.

The next few weeks
Bulls held back the bears from breaking down major support last week. If the bulls can finally manage to take out resistance at $94,000 over the next couple of weeks, they may be able to sustain some upward momentum into the new year as well. So if we see a weekly close above $94,000, look for the price to move towards $101,000. This momentum could continue to $108,000 with a close above $100,000. Resistance becomes extremely thick near this level, though, so a strong rejection near this level should be expected if we can make it there over the coming weeks.

Terminology Guide:

Bulls/Bullish: Buyers or investors expecting the price to go higher.

Bears/Bearish: Sellers or investors expecting the price to go lower.

Support or support level: A level at which the price should hold for the asset, at least initially. The more touches on support, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold the price.

Resistance or resistance level: Opposite of support.  The level that is likely to reject the price, at least initially. The more touches at resistance, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold back the price.

Bitcoin’s Weekly Close Signals Imminent Drop Below $84,000 Toward $70,000 Floor

Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

Bitcoin price is looking lethargic heading into this week. Last week saw prices reject once again from the $94,000 resistance level. The bulls were not able to gain any momentum whatsoever as the price bled down into Sunday to close at $88,170. This week, the bears will look to break the $84,000 support level and take the price into the low $70,000 range. The bulls will desperately try to hold onto this $84,000 level as support, but it may not be able to survive another test.

Bitcoin's Weekly Close Signals Imminent Drop Below $84,000 Toward $70,000 Floor

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

With the $84,000 support level again under pressure this week, the bears will look to finally drive the price down below it. There’s a small chance bulls may be able to defend $85,000, but it’s unlikely to hold here unless we see big buying volume step in. The $72,000 to $68,000 support zone below should be a solid floor on initial tests, so it would likely take a few weeks to break down through this level if we get there. Below here, bulls will look to hang onto the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement support at $57,000.

Up higher, we have a blanket of resistance now from $94,000 all the way up to $118,000. If bulls can manage to finally conquer $94,000, they will look to $101,000 next, although sellers should step in strongly above $97,000. Above $101,000, it should be a slow go all the way to $107,000. Even more buying pressure would be necessary above $107,000 to push through this thick zone all the way to $118,000. None of these levels seem attainable anytime soon with the current price action, however.

Outlook For This Week

Bitcoin’s weekly red candle close was not what the bulls wanted to see last week. The bears got a much-needed rest over the past few weeks and should see renewed strength this week. Look for the bears to attempt to break the $84,000 support level at some point this week, with bulls potentially trying to put in a bounce to maintain higher lows around the $87,000 to $85,000 area. If price drops below $84,000 this week, I would expect to see acceleration down to at least $75,000 and likely into the low $70,000 area.

Bitcoin's Weekly Close Signals Imminent Drop Below $84,000 Toward $70,000 Floor

Market mood: Extremely Bearish – Bulls had some time to try to push the price above short-term support over the last couple of weeks and failed to do so. The bears are in control and should be well rested for renewed selling strength to the downside.

The next few weeks
Sellers received a much-needed break over the past few weeks, while buyers were only able to pause the bearish momentum. Bears should take advantage here to take out the $84,000 support level. In the next few weeks, look for the support zone in the $72,000 to $68,000 area to be hit. However, we should see a strong bounce from this area after an initial test. So if this zone is touched, look for price to at least re-test the $84,000 level from down there, with potential for an even stronger bounce. This zone is a potential area for a reversal out of the bear market, but if the “4-Year Cycle” holds true, then the price would likely test lower later into 2026.

Bitcoin Bulls Eye $94K Breakout Ahead of Crucial FOMC Rate Cut Decision

Bitcoin Bulls Eye $94K Breakout Ahead of Crucial FOMC Rate Cut Decision

Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

Last week was a bit of a roller coaster ride, while bears kicked the price down to the $84,000 support level early in the week, bulls stepped in down there to rally the price up to the $94,000 resistance level. From there, the price dropped once again, just below $88,000 on Sunday morning, before seeing a small rally to close the week out at $90,429. This week, bitcoin bulls will look to the FOMC meeting on Wednesday to produce a much-anticipated rate cut to help facilitate a better investment environment for bitcoin and other assets. Climbing above $94,000 will be key for the bulls this week, if they hope to sway the market more in their favor.

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

Bitcoin closed the week as a doji candle on Sunday, indicating indecision between buyers and sellers. The short-term outlook is slightly in the bulls’ favor, who will look to conquer the $94,000 resistance level. If they can establish this level as support, they will look to $101,000 as the next major resistance level, with sellers likely to begin slowing momentum down above $96,000. Beyond $101,000, we look to $104,000 and then a resistance zone between $107,000 and $110,000. Resistance gets very thick above $100,000.

Looking down to support levels, bulls will want to see $87,200 hold any daily closes to avoid another test of the $84,000 support level below. Any further touches of $84,000 will weaken it and make it less likely to remain in place as a floor. There is a $72,000 to $68,000 support zone, which will look to buoy the price below here. Below $68,000 would likely see the price chop around some, but look to hang onto the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $57,700. It is unlikely we would test this lower level for at least several weeks, though, if it even comes.

Bitcoin Bulls Eye $94K Breakout Ahead of Crucial FOMC Rate Cut Decision

Outlook For This Week

Short-term momentum slightly favors the bulls early this week. The relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart is showing some positive progress, generating higher highs off the 13 SMA support. This week, bulls will look for the 13 SMA to continue to act as support and help push the RSI above 60 into bullish territory. As long as bulls can remain above support levels heading into Wednesday’s FOMC meeting, they have a chance to tackle higher levels on a rate cut. If the FOMC meeting surprises everyone with no rate cut announcement, expect $84,000 support to fail.

Bitcoin Bulls Eye $94K Breakout Ahead of Crucial FOMC Rate Cut Decision

Market mood: Very Bearish – Bulls have managed to put in a small rally here over the prior two weeks, but the price action has been lackluster and is still favoring the bears.

The next few weeks
The bearish cross in place on the monthly MACD oscillator will continue to weigh on price throughout December and likely into January as well, barring any major moves up in price to undo it. Bitcoin price will need to continue to climb higher and maintain closes above the 100-week simple moving average (SMA), which sits at $84,700 heading into this week. Even if bulls can manage to keep momentum going over the coming weeks, there is heavy resistance sitting at $110,000 and above, and the price is very likely to pull back from that level (or lower) on the weekly chart. Doing so would put in a convincing lower high on the weekly chart and provide the bears with renewed conviction on a longer-term top being in place.

Terminology Guide:

Bulls/Bullish: Buyers or investors expecting the price to go higher.

Bears/Bearish: Sellers or investors expecting the price to go lower.

Support or support level: A level at which the price should hold for the asset, at least initially. The more touches on support, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold the price.

Resistance or resistance level: Opposite of support.  The level that is likely to reject the price, at least initially. The more touches at resistance, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold back the price.

SMA: Simple Moving Average. Average price based on closing prices over the specified period. In the case of RSI, it is the average strength index value over the specified period.

Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions: Ratios based on what is known as the golden ratio, a universal ratio pertaining to growth and decay cycles in nature. The golden ratio is based on the constants Phi (1.618) and phi (0.618).

Oscillators: Technical indicators that vary over time, but typically remain within a band between set levels. Thus, they oscillate between a low level (typically representing oversold conditions) and a high level (typically representing overbought conditions). E.G., Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD).

RSI Oscillator: The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that moves between 0 and 100. It measures the speed of the price and changes in the speed of the price movements. When RSI is over 70, it is considered to be overbought. When RSI is below 30, it is considered to be oversold.

MACD Oscillator: Moving Average Convergence-Divergence is a momentum oscillator that subtracts the difference between 2 moving averages to indicate trend as well as momentum.
