Bitcoin (BTC) is nearing the end of a six-week consolidation phase. The asset has been moving within a tight symmetrical triangle, and traders are now watching for a breakout or breakdown. As of press time, it is trading at around $88,500, showing a slight rise over the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n
For the past month and a half, Bitcoin has been forming a symmetrical triangle, which reflects a balance between buyers and sellers, with the range narrowing each week. The current setup indicates that the price is approaching a point where this balance will end, likely with a sharp movement in either direction.<\/p>\n

A breakdown, on the other hand, could lead to a 15% drop toward $75,000.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Titan of Crypto shared<\/a> a chart showing Bitcoin in a clear accumulation range between $80,000 and $94,000. The post explained that short-term direction may depend on which liquidity area is taken first, above or below the range.<\/p>\n \u201cIf the upper pool is taken first, odds of bearish continuation increase,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n Some traders expect a move lower before any lasting recovery. Jason Pizzino offered a similar short-term view, pointing<\/a> to a bear flag pattern following the recent decline. If this pattern breaks to the downside, it could send Bitcoin into the $70,000\u2013$76,000 range.<\/p>\n Despite quiet retail interest, institutional activity has continued. Lark Davis reported<\/a> that public companies now hold more than 1.09 million BTC, or around 5.1% of the supply. Strategy, which recently added<\/a> 1,229 BTC, now holds 672,497 BTC in total. Metaplanet purchased<\/a> another 4,279 BTC in December, bringing its total to 35,102.<\/p>\n Other firms, including Bitdeer Technologies, Anap Holdings, and Cango Inc., have also made purchases. These investments come as the market remains uncertain near the $88,000 mark, with no clear breakout yet.<\/p>\n Some market indicators are beginning to shift. Ash Crypto posted that the MACD is now at levels last seen during the 2022 low and is showing a bullish divergence. This may suggest that downward pressure is fading. Still, the price has struggled to stay above $90,000 in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Bitcoin Is Flashing Two Bullish Signals<\/p>\n \u2013 Bitcoin\u2019s MACD has returned to levels last seen at the 2022 bear-market bottom.
