On December 28, 2025 (GMT-5), Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $87,800–$87,923.52 with a modest 0.42% 24-hour gain and $271.52M trading volume, remaining in a cautious range amid year-end market dynamics—down 31% from its October all-time high of $126,080 and part of a 9% December decline following an 86.76% Q4 surge. The session’s choppiness stemmed from multiple factors: thin holiday liquidity amplifying price moves, mild ETF outflows as institutions rebalanced year-end portfolios, lingering Fed high-rate pressure, derivatives expiries, and investor caution amid BTC’s decoupling from stocks and underperformance relative to gold and silver. Technical and fundamental crosswinds persisted, including strained miner profitability post-2024 halving (3.125 BTC/block rewards, 40% hash rate surge) and bearish near-term sentiment, offset by long-term institutional support (e.g., Strategy’s $58.6B BTC holdings, 86% institutional allocation via ETFs/ETPs) and regulatory tailwinds like U.S. strategic reserve proposals.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bearish, with a target price of 88699.39.

On December 23, 2025 (GMT-5), Bitcoin (BTC) experienced intensified volatility with a “rally and retreat” pattern—opening relatively stably, it briefly surged to a near $89,428 intraday high and even approached the $90,000 psychological level before facing significant selling pressure during the U.S. trading session, pulling back sharply to a low near $86,684, and finally consolidating to close around the $87,000–$88,000 range with moderate trading volume and declining momentum. Technically, the daily chart showed a small bearish candle with a long lower shadow, the MACD indicator maintained a weak death cross on the daily timeframe while forming a golden cross on the hourly chart, and the RSI hovered near the oversold zone, reflecting large divergence between bulls and bears without a clear trend direction; the core trading range remained $86,000–$89,000, with key supports anchored at $87,000–$87,500 and resistance concentrated near $89,000–$90,000. The choppy price action was driven by multiple factors: upcoming record $28.5 billion Deribit options expiration, continued ETF outflows, seasonal liquidity tightening, lingering macroeconomic uncertainties from Fed policy divergence and spillover effects of the Bank of Japan’s rate hike, as well as institutional profit-taking pressure at year-end, keeping market sentiment cautiously defensive with traders favoring rolling over protective positions rather than closing them out.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bearish, with a target price of 85849.44.

On December 22, 2025 (GMT-5), Bitcoin (BTC) continued its recent high-level oscillating pattern, opening around $88,000, staging a short-term rally during the Asian and European sessions to hit an intraday high near $90,353 (briefly breaking above the $90,000 psychological level), but encountering significant selling pressure as the U.S. trading session kicked off, pulling back to around $88,000 before ultimately stabilizing and closing slightly higher around $89,240, with the daily trading volume remaining relatively subdued. Technically, the 20-period moving average at $89,548 acted as immediate resistance, while the RSI (14) stood at a neutral 44.57, leaving room for potential upside without entering overbought territory, and the MACD histogram showed positive readings indicating underlying bullish momentum; the market has clearly established a core trading range between $88,000 and $90,000, with the $87,655 intraday low and the $87,900 lower bound of the volatility range serving as key near-term supports, and the $90,500 upper bound and $93,668–$95,240 zone as subsequent resistance levels. The choppy price action reflected cautious sentiment among U.S. investors at current levels, with the market awaiting confirmation signals such as a sustained breakthrough of key resistance with increased volume to determine the next directional trend, amid the broader backdrop of lingering macro policy uncertainty and expectations for a potential “Christmas rally.”

The market outlook for tomorrow is bullish, with a target price of 88429.12.

On December 21, 2025 (GMT-5), Bitcoin (BTC) traded in a narrow oscillating range amid muted market volatility and lingering macro policy uncertainty, opening at $88,210, dipping to an intraday low of $87,679 (finding support near the 89-period EMA on the 4-hour chart) before staging a mild rebound to a session high of $88,822, and ultimately stabilizing around $88,550 by the close—recording a marginal 0.39% daily gain with an intraday amplitude of 1.29% and subdued trading volume. The lackluster price action came as the market digested the Bank of Japan’s recent rate hike and awaited clearer signals on the Federal Reserve’s future monetary policy path, while the ongoing December crypto token unlocking wave (worth over $5 billion) reinforced BTC’s safe-haven appeal but also constrained aggressive buying interest. Technically, the 1-hour chart showed bullish cues with RSI (14) at 58.3 and MACD forming a golden cross above the zero axis, though BTC remained trapped below the key resistance zone of $89,000–$92,800; the $88,320 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement level) and $87,679 intraday low emerged as immediate supports, with market focus centered on whether BTC could break above $89,000 with sufficient volume to trigger a further rally toward $89,800–$90,200, or risk a pullback if it fails to hold above $88,350 amid year-end liquidity constraints.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bearish, with a target price of 87328.02.
