Updated: Dec 28 2025- Positive Technical Signals: Bitcoin has locked in a three-day bullish divergence near key support levels, indicating potential upside momentum that could set the stage for a rebound in 2026.
- Cautious Market Sentiment: While institutional reallocations in early January may drive Bitcoin towards a $100,000 target, the current market remains in a low-volatility state, necessitating a wait for shifts in macroeconomic conditions.
- Weak Year-to-Date Performance: Bitcoin is down approximately 6% year-to-date, marking its first red post-halving year in over a decade, prompting analysts to question the validity of traditional four-year cycle theories.
- Critical Candle Close Analysis: As 2025 approaches its end, analysts emphasize that the direction of the year-end candle close will significantly impact the next phase of the market, potentially influencing Bitcoin's ability to maintain support and initiate a new rally.
