Analysts highlight key levels as Bitcoin price holds above crucial support

A crypto analyst observed that Bitcoin price is currently trading at the outer limits of a very significant support zone. In his latest update, he emphasized that there are only two possible scenarios that would trigger a decisive price movement.

First, Bitcoin needs to break the $90,000 price level again, which would be a signal that the uptrend (bullish) is continuing. Otherwise, it could return to the lower support levels in the range of $84,000 to $85,000.

Analysts believe that these levels will determine the direction of the next Bitcoin trend. These price levels are also closely monitored, as short-term market sentiment is heavily influenced by support and resistance areas.

Crypto Market Events to Watch This Week

While Bitcoin price experienced higher volatility, the movement of other crypto coins tended to be flat. This happened as a number of important macroeconomic events occurred this week.

Market momentum could potentially be triggered by the FOMC meeting minutes due out on Tuesday, especially if policymakers show a dovish stance. The unemployment benefit claims report due out on Wednesday may also influence market expectations of a possible rate cut.

On Thursday, markets will be closed for the New Year holiday. Meanwhile, on Friday, the Fed’s balance sheet update will be released. In the event of additional liquidity, the market will likely respond with a more risky (bullish) stance.

What’s Next for BTC Price?

Bitcoin price hovered around $87,887 on December 28, registering an intraday gain of 0.24% amid sideways market conditions. The 4-hour chart shows that Bitcoin price is currently moving within the range of $86,000 – $88,000, with buyers trying to push the price above the $88,000 area.

The 4-hour MACD indicator shows a bullish crossover signal. The histogram is now positive, and the MACD line has crossed the signal line from below. The MACD value is at 32.77 with a strengthening trend.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also showing a slightly bullish movement. The RSI is at 52, which means it has moved out of the neutral zone (50) but has not yet entered the overbought area. This reflects moderate buying pressure, with no indication of buying saturation.

If the BTC price manages to break and hold above $88,000, the next short-term target is $90,000, in line with the market’s continued optimistic outlook. If it manages to break further, the price could potentially rise towards $91,800 towards the end of the year.

However, in the event of a drop below $86,000, Bitcoin price is likely to drop towards $85,000, which has served as an important support zone throughout this month.
