Bitcoin Price Outlook: Key Levels to Watch

At present, Bitcoin is range-bound between $87,000 and $90,000, a structure that has held for over a month. Until BTC reclaims the $90,000 level, upside momentum remains capped.

  • Bullish scenario: A clean break and acceptance above $90,000 could open the door to $95,000, and potentially a push toward six-figure levels if momentum builds.
  • Bearish scenario: Losing the $87,000 support zone increases the likelihood of a drop toward $84,000–$85,000, a level that has acted as a key demand area since November.

Technically, Bitcoin is trading below important resistance near the anchored VWAP, with thin holiday liquidity amplifying moves. Equal lows around $86,690 remain a clear downside liquidity target, while the strongest upside setups appear only at range extremes.

What Comes Next

With liquidity expected to return after the holidays, today’s FOMC minutes could set the tone for Bitcoin’s first major trend of 2026. Until then, the market remains coiled, waiting for the Fed’s words to provide clarity on whether the next move breaks higher or slips lower.
