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<p>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<h2>Price Moves Toward Key Resistance<\/h2>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rektcapital\/status\/2008253736968175687?s=20\">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<p>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<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c$93,500 needs to hold as support for mid-term bullish bias,\u201d said Rekt Capital.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1425146\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1425146\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1425146\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC.jpeg\" alt=\"Bitcoin (BTC) Price Chart\" width=\"1200\" height=\"872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-300x218.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-1024x744.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-768x558.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-90x65.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-124x90.jpeg 124w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-1000x727.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-900x654.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-800x581.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-700x509.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-600x436.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-500x363.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-400x291.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-200x145.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G96_doZXcAA1RxC-100x73.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1425146\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin (BTC) Price Chart 6.1.

Rekt Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rektcapital\/status\/2008117803337863650?s=20\">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<blockquote>\n<p>\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<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sykodelic, another market analyst, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Sykodelic_\/status\/2008288409702592826?s=20\">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<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe need to get above and hold $94.5K. If not, we may revisit $89K.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Macro Trends May Be Shifting<\/h2>\n<p>Analyst Lark Davis <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LarkDavis\/status\/2008221480450945301?s=20\">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<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNot official QE yet\u2026 but it sure looks like QE and smells like QE,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>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<h1>Support Levels and Market Outlook<\/h1>\n<p>Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/2008251627044745589?s=20\">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<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf that holds and a higher low forms, then we could be looking at $100K,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Data from Glassnode <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-shows-bullish-signals-despite-fragile-consolidation-phase-glassnode\/\">shows<\/a> that Bitcoin is recovering from a correction.

While many metrics are turning positive, some analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-rally-isnt-over-yet-but-downside-isnt-done\/\">believe<\/a> this rally could be the final leg before a larger move down.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/the-final-barrier-why-this-key-level-will-decide-bitcoins-fate\/\">The Final Barrier?
