The latter came on December 30 and marked the asset\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pepe-price-jumps-6-daily-bitcoin-recovers-to-94k-after-monthly-low-market-watch\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">lowest price point<\/a> in over a month.<\/p>\n<p>However, bitcoin reacted well to this correction and now sits above $98,000. This represents a 7.5% increase since that low. On a weekly scale, BTC is up by 3.5% compared to the valuation last Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest factor holding bitcoin below $100,000 now is the \u2018stiff supply wall\u2019 that appears in its current levels. This means that a lot of investors have accumulated their BTC holdings at prices between $98,000 and $100,000, which essentially turns these levels into critical resistance lines, according to Ali Martinez.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">#Bitcoin<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">$BTC<\/a> faces a stiff supply wall between $98,000 and $100,000 that is currently acting as resistance! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GrDNNATLgT\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/GrDNNATLgT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali (@ali_charts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1875506374530232577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">January 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, the same analyst outlined a highly bullish development for BTC, which occurred at the end of 2024.
