Bitcoin (BTC) entered 2026 with a strong start, showing more than 7% gain over the past week. The asset is at around $93,600 at press time, rising 1% in the last 24 hours. Daily trading volume remains high at $51.5 billion.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning, Bitcoin climbed to its highest level in nearly two months, nearing the $95,000 mark. Unlike previous moves, the weekend rally held through Monday, a change from recent patterns where gains were often erased quickly.<\/p>\n

Price Moves Toward Key Resistance<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin has rebounded from the lower end of its weekly range near $86,200. This level has acted as a support area in the past. The price has now climbed to test the top of this range near $93,500. Analyst Rekt Capital pointed out <\/a>that a close above this level would mark a potential breakout. The asset is currently trading above the range high, but the weekly close will be crucial.<\/p>\n

Notably, the move also comes as BTC breaks above a downtrend line that has been in place since October 2025. This trendline, drawn from lower highs, has now been breached. Holding above $93,500 is seen by many traders as the level that could shift the mid-term picture.<\/p>\n

\u201c$93,500 needs to hold as support for mid-term bullish bias,\u201d said Rekt Capital.<\/p>\n

Despite recent gains, market analysts remain cautious. Rekt Capital noted<\/a> that Bitcoin closed its 12-month candle below $93,500. Based on historical cycles, similar levels have remained unbroken for several years until the next halving year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf indeed Bitcoin has begun a bear market, price could overextend beyond $93,500 over the coming months\u2026 before continuing lower.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sykodelic, another market analyst, pointed<\/a> to strong buying activity driving recent gains. They noted a breakout in the On-Balance Volume indicator and mentioned that Coinbase is showing signs of a spot premium. Still, they added a caution:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to get above and hold $94.5K. If not, we may revisit $89K.\u201d<\/p>\n

Macro Trends May Be Shifting<\/h2>\n

Analyst Lark Davis drew<\/a> attention to a technical crossover on the US Federal Reserve\u2019s balance sheet. A monthly MACD golden cross has formed, which last occurred in 2019. At that time, Bitcoin began a major rally in the months that followed.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot official QE yet\u2026 but it sure looks like QE and smells like QE,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n

The crossover suggests the Fed\u2019s balance sheet may be expanding again after months of decline. This shift in liquidity may affect markets in early 2026, especially risk assets like Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Support Levels and Market Outlook<\/h1>\n

Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe identified<\/a> the $90,000\u2013$91,000 range as a short-term level that needs to hold. This zone also lines up with the 21-day moving average. A failure to hold could lead to a retest of lower levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that holds and a higher low forms, then we could be looking at $100K,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n

Data from Glassnode shows<\/a> that Bitcoin is recovering from a correction. The current phase is described as a consolidation, though market conditions remain uncertain. While many metrics are turning positive, some analysts believe<\/a> this rally could be the final leg before a larger move down.<\/p>\n
