Overcoming the Psychological Barrier: What Will Happen to Bitcoin This Week
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $88,000, failing to break the key psychological barrier of $90,000. Analysts note it is moving within a wide range of $80,600 to $94,600, with significant resistance near $90,660 and support around $83,600. Despite a positive long-term outlook supported by favorable US regulatory policies and strong industry growth, short-term risks remain high. Weak institutional demand via ETFs, negative on-chain metrics, and pressure on large holders are creating headwinds. A correction to the $70,000–$75,000 zone is possible if buyers fail to push the price above $94,600. The upcoming holiday week may see lower trading activity but increased volatility due to key economic data, including Fed minutes and labor market reports. The market is currently in a state of uncertainty, with the Fear and Greed Index at 28 (fear). Ethereum (ETH) is expected to move in line with the broader market, lacking independent momentum. Overall, sideways movement between $84,000 and $93,000 is the most likely scenario for Bitcoin in the coming week.
