The recent fluctuations in Bitcoin prices have left investors feeling uncertain, with the cryptocurrency dropping from its peak of almost $107,000 to around $94,550. This volatility begs the question of whether Bitcoin can sustain its momentum and recover in the upcoming weeks.
Pivotal Support Levels in Jeopardy
An expert analyst at CryptoQuant, Shayan, recently highlighted the precarious position of Bitcoin. He emphasized the significance of the $92,000 level as crucial support, as Bitcoin teeters around this mark. A break below this level could trigger a cascade of long liquidations, potentially driving prices towards the 100-day moving average of $81,000, which has proven to be a strong support zone.
Shayan also emphasized the importance of market sentiment and technical indicators. Bitcoin is currently hovering near critical support levels at $90K, with Fibonacci retracement levels at $87K and $82K. Failure to hold these levels may result in further selling pressure and corrections.
Positive Perspective Despite Bearish Concerns
Despite the current uncertainty, noted cryptocurrency analyst Crypto Rover remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s prospects. Drawing parallels with historical trends, he predicts a positive outlook for Bitcoin in January.

According to Rover, if Bitcoin can surpass the critical resistance at $100,000, it could potentially surge past $107,000 in the near future.
Positive Inflows of Capital
Rover’s optimism is fueled by significant capital inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, exceeding $900 million from institutional investors like BlackRock and Fidelity. This institutional interest indicates confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. However, Rover warns that failure to close above $100,000 could lead to a retreat to $92,000 or lower.
The broader cryptocurrency market mirrors Bitcoin’s struggles, with Ether and Solana experiencing over a 7% decline. Traditional crypto stocks, including MicroStrategy and Coinbase, have also faced significant downturns. Decreasing funding rates in the derivatives market further contribute to the bearish sentiment surrounding Bitcoin, reflecting a drop in demand for derivatives.
