Bitcoin (BTC) is facing pressure after falling below important support levels. Several market watchers believe a final dip may come before a short-term recovery. This takes place as traders prepare for upcoming economic reports and low year-end liquidity.<\/p>\n

BTC Slips Below Key Trendline<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin dropped below $86,500, breaking out of an upward channel that had been in place since late November. This move points to weakness in the current trend. Colin Talks Crypto, a popular industry analyst, noted<\/a> that the cryptocurrency looks oversold and close to a short-term bottom.<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cA capitulation wick down will be the final shakeout<\/em>,\u201d suggesting that the next sharp drop could mark the bottom. He expects the range between $74,000 and $81,000 to offer support, adding,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m fully expecting a nice juicy bounce that lasts for 4\u20138 weeks after the bottom is found.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He also mentioned this could happen before the end of the month. Bitcoin recently touched<\/a> $85,200, the lowest point since December 2, when a major leverage flush occurred. This selling pattern fits the idea that a final wave down may shake out weaker holders before a rebound.<\/p>\n

Holding $87K is Critical<\/h2>\n

Analyst Ali Martinez shared<\/a> a view that Bitcoin is now at a major decision point. His chart shows BTC trading just above a rising support line. \u201cHold $87,000 or risk a move toward $70,000<\/em>,\u201d he warned. A close below that level could trigger a larger drop toward $80,500, or even $74,600.<\/p>\n

At the same time, resistance levels are marked around $92,500 and $95,600. If Bitcoin stays above $87,000 and pushes higher, short-term upside may still be possible. But for now, the price is stuck between pressure from both sides.<\/p>\n

Another analyst, CRYPTOWZRD, added<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c$BTC is attempting to break the higher low trendline. This will apply more pressure towards $73,000 if it plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Market Sentiment and Liquidity Trends<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s 24-hour trading volume is around $49.9 billion. The price has fallen almost 4% in the past day and over 4% over the last seven days. The total crypto market value also fell to $3.02 trillion \u2014 the lowest in three weeks.<\/p>\n

Daan Crypto Trades pointed out<\/a> that global liquidity is rising, but Bitcoin has not responded.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s still a lot of 4-year cycle selling paired with tax loss harvesting into the end of the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He expects Bitcoin to have a better shot at growth in early 2026, once volume returns and seasonal selling ends.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the next move may be driven<\/a> by economic figures due this week, including unemployment numbers and PMI data. Traders are watching to see if this will bring more selling or help prices recover.<\/p>\n
