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.
