Bitcoin Hits $91,000 as Analysts Watch for Signs of a Potential Breakout

Jakarta, Pintu News – One important indicator on the blockchain network known as Bitcoin’s (BTC) “liveliness” is showing a rise again. This pattern has historically often been associated with bullish market activity, indicating that the current cycle may still have the potential to continue, according to analysts who monitor long-term metrics on the blockchain.

TXMC technical analysts said on Sunday that liveliness continues to increase despite the price drop. This discrepancy indicates a steady demand for the spot version of Bitcoin, despite the general market sentiment remaining sluggish.

Then, how will the Bitcoin price move today?

Bitcoin Price Rises 1.72% in 24 Hours

On December 8, 2025, Bitcoin was trading at $91,263, equivalent to IDR 1,525,643,477 — marking a 1.72% increase over the past 24 hours. During that time, BTC hit a low of IDR 1,470,493,789 and peaked at IDR 1,535,257,063.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s market capitalization is approximately IDR 30,320 trillion, while its 24-hour trading volume has surged by 41% to reach IDR 631.46 trillion.

Bitcoin’s Rising “Liveliness” Metrics Show Signs of Returning Demand in a Bull Market

This indicator, described as an “elegant” gauge of long-term network activity, measures the ratio of transacted coins to stored coins, taking into account the age of the coins.

The value of this metric will rise when older coins start to be traded frequently, and will fall when long-term investors return to accumulation.

“Liveliness typically increases during bull market phases as supply changes hands at higher prices, reflecting the influx of new capital into the market,” TXMC explained, noting that this latest uptrend contrasts with the flat price movements in recent weeks.

Data from Glassnode shows that liveliness has now reached new highs, breaking out of the consolidation zone that had held since the price peak in 2017 until the last few cycles.

Analyst James Check states that the current surge in liveliness reflects the reactivation of Bitcoin’s previously immobile supply-on an unprecedented scale. In fact, according to him, this movement goes beyond the patterns seen during the bull run of 2017, the first cycle characterized by widespread participation and very sharp price spikes.

However, this time the scale is much larger. Whereas in 2017 transfers were typically worth thousands of dollars, Check notes that today value flows on the on-chain network often reach billions of dollars, signaling one of the largest capital rotations in Bitcoin’s history.

“We’ve seen a tremendous volume of coin days destroyed,” Check said. “I think we’ve just seen one of the biggest capital rotations and turnover of market participants in Bitcoin history.”

BTC price still on hold, analysts monitor potential breakout levels

Despite on-chain indicators showing strength, Bitcoin’s price movements remain sluggish. BTC briefly dipped below $89,000 on Sunday morning, before recovering to the $89,500 range-virtually unchanged in the last 24 hours.

Analyst Michaël van de Poppe said that the market is currently in a consolidation phase:

“As long as the price is between $86,000 to $92,000, it’s just an insignificant movement.”

He added that if BTC manages to break through the $92,000 level, then the chances of a breakout are quite high. But if it fails, the price could drop to the initial range of $80,000 and form a double-bottom pattern.

“I think we’re pretty close to the bottom of Bitcoin,” van de Poppe said, predicting a stronger rally towards the end of the fourth quarter (Q4) and the beginning of the first quarter (Q1).

Last week, Bitfinex stated that the market was showing signs of “seller fatigue” after going through a period of extreme deleveraging and panic selling from short-term investors.

“The moment formed by the combination of massive deleveraging, capitulation from short-term holders, and early signs of seller fatigue created the conditions for a stabilization phase and a potential price bounce,” Bitfinex wrote.
