Crypto and Traditional Finance Sentiment Improves: Can Bitcoin (BTC) Traders Sweep Shorts Above $93,000?

The article discusses the recent improvement in sentiment among both retail crypto and traditional finance investors, aligning with Bitcoin's (BTC) price recovery towards the $90,000 mark. However, the $93,000 resistance zone is identified as a significant barrier due to a concentration of sell orders and short positions that are suppressing further upward movement. Analysts from Bernstein and VanEck suggest that Bitcoin has broken its traditional 4-year cycle pattern and is now in an extended bull market, with institutional buying absorbing retail panic selling. This view was reinforced after MicroStrategy announced a substantial purchase of 10,624 BTC at an average price of $90,615, its largest acquisition since July 2025. Despite the rebound from November's low of $80,612, BTC's price remains range-bound. Technical analysis points to key support levels between $73,700 and $76,500. Data from Hyblock and order books show that while smaller traders (0-100 BTC) are increasing participation, larger entities are selling into rallies near the $93,000 level. The liquidation heatmap indicates a cluster of short positions between $94,000 and $95,300, which could provide fuel for a potential rally toward $100,000 if bullish momentum intensifies.
