Bitcoin Holds $92,000 as Wall Street Analysts Signal Market Bottom<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin hovered near<\/a> $92,000 on Tuesday as analysts and traders pointed to improving technical and macro signals suggesting the cryptocurrency may have put its brutal fourth-quarter sell-off behind it.<\/p>\n

The price action comes after months of volatility that saw bitcoin fall as much as 35% from its October peak above<\/a> $126,000, amid forced liquidations and selling pressure from long-term holders. While the asset ended December down for a third consecutive month \u2014 a historically rare pattern \u2014 several analysts argue the setup now favors a rebound.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe with reasonable confidence that Bitcoin and broader digital asset markets have bottomed,\u201d Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani and his team said<\/a> in a note published Tuesday, identifying the late-November lows near $80,000 as the likely trough of the cycle.<\/p>\n

Bernstein pushed back against concerns that bitcoin has already peaked within a traditional four-year cycle<\/a>, calling such fears \u201coverstated\u201d in a market increasingly driven by institutional participation rather than retail speculation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we have highlighted earlier, we believe the market concern on the four-year cycle pattern is unwarranted in the current market context, where institutional demand is driving adoption,\u201d the analysts wrote.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin to $200k by 2027?<\/h2>\n

Bernstein reiterated its long-term bullish outlook, maintaining price targets of $150,000 for bitcoin in 2026 and $200,000 in 2027. The firm argues that a broader \u201cdigital assets revolution,\u201d including tokenization and regulated financial infrastructure, is extending the current bull market beyond historical norms.<\/p>\n

Despite bitcoin\u2019s roughly 6% decline in 2025, Chhugani noted that the year was broadly constructive for the crypto sector, particularly for crypto-related equities and initial public offerings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Bernstein expects a tokenization \u201csupercycle\u201d led by firms such as Robinhood, Coinbase, Figure, and Circle to continue drawing institutional capital into the space.<\/p>\n

Other market observers echoed the view that downside momentum has eased. On Sunday, 10X Research said technical indicators now suggest bitcoin has entered a bullish trend, following weeks of range-bound trading through the holiday period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a good opportunity for a tactical rally,\u201d said<\/a> Sean Farrell, head of digital assets at Fundstrat, in comments on Monday. Farrell pointed to improving liquidity conditions, including expansion of the Federal Reserve\u2019s balance sheet and a drawdown in the U.S. Treasury General Account, as supportive factors for risk assets such as bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Fundstrat sees potential for bitcoin to test the $105,000 to $106,000 range under favorable conditions, though Farrell cautioned that his base case still includes the risk of a meaningful drawdown in the first half of the year before a stronger rally later in 2026.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin technical analysis\u00a0<\/h2>\n

From a technical perspective, bitcoin closed last week near $91,500, just above short-term resistance around $91,400. Analysts say holding that level could open the door<\/a> for another attempt at $94,000, a ceiling that has capped prices since mid-November. A sustained breakout could bring $98,000 into focus, with heavier resistance extending up toward the $103,500 to $109,000 zone.<\/p>\n

On the downside, traders are watching support near $87,000, followed by a stronger band between $84,000 and $72,000 if selling pressure resumes. Market sentiment has shifted from outright bearishness to a more neutral stance as prices stabilize.<\/p>\n

Bernstein also highlighted potential knock-on effects for bitcoin proxy equities, particularly Strategy<\/a>. The analysts said a recovery in bitcoin\u2019s price should help restore Strategy\u2019s premium to net asset value, which has compressed significantly over the past year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs concerns over MSTR\u2019s liquidation event get resolved, we expect a strong recovery in MSTR premium to NAV towards its historical average,\u201d the analysts wrote<\/a>. Strategy has historically traded at an average multiple-to-net asset value of 1.57, compared with roughly 1.02 this week.<\/p>\n

Strategy has continued to finance bitcoin purchases through a mix of equity issuance and preferred stock offerings, while recently building a $2.25 billion \u201cUSD Reserve\u201d to pre-pay dividend obligations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, the company faces risks, including potential exclusion<\/a> from MSCI indices, which could trigger index-related outflows.<\/p>\n
