Updated: Jan 09 2026- Critical Structural Zone: Bitcoin's $100,000 level aligns with multiple long-term indicators, making it a pivotal area that could determine whether the recent pullback evolves into a broader downtrend, increasing the risk of market pressure if it fails to break through.
- Echoes of Historical Patterns: Analysts note that a similar market structure occurred in late 2021, when Bitcoin failed to convert resistance into support, leading to an extended bear market, suggesting current conditions may face similar challenges.
- Cooling Momentum Signals: Data from CryptoQuant shows Bitcoin's MVRV ratio drifting lower from elevated levels, indicating that unless it stabilizes and pushes higher, the broader signal will continue to favor cooling momentum rather than expansion.
- Potential for Rebound: While a short-term rebound toward $100,000 remains plausible, analysts stress that without a decisive reclaim of the clustered moving averages, the market faces a high probability of rejection from this zone.
