Bitcoin Holds $95K: Consolidation Before Expansion or Breakdown?

[Victoria01]

Bitcoin is currently hovering around $95,300, sitting at a critical technical and psychological zone. Following a rally above $120,000 in late 2025 driven by institutional inflows and ETF approvals, BTC has retraced about 20%, yet remains significantly higher than December’s $88,000 lows.

From a bullish perspective, holding $94,000–$95,000 support aligns with liquidity trends and historical cycle behavior, with long-term projections pointing as high as $165K–$280K. On the bearish side, some analysts are flagging a possible monthly trend breakdown, targeting $49,400, especially with $94,500 acting as a fragile support level and weekend liquidity remaining thin.

For now, price action between $94,000 support and $98,000 resistance will likely determine Bitcoin’s next major move.

At the same time, traders are also exploring newer opportunities such as $FOGO, a growing community-focused project that has recently been listed on BingX, offering alternative exposure while BTC consolidates.

Is Bitcoin preparing for its next cycle-driven breakout, or are we seeing early signs of a larger correction?

I have seen analysts said that bitcoin might go down to or go below $50000 or $60000 but I have not seen any analysts that said bitcoin monthly (January 2026) price can go below $50000.

What is happening to bitcoin right now has not been happening in history of bitcoin as bitcoin is having a good support and not falling. So for now, no bear market.

If I should guess where the price of bitcoin is going right now, I do not know.

There's no doubt that a lot of people have been giving contradicting speculations about bitcoin price and how the market will react this time around, but when we constantly look at the recent performance, we are going to see how there have been supports for the market above $90,000 while once we can break this resistance prevents to emerge and get to $100,000 I don't think anything is stopping us from going forth before the end of this month in a bullish pattern.

Bitcoin is about to go to it's most recent all time high because the Fed has turned the money printers back on and more rate cuts are coming. Capital flows into safety first, then into Bitcoin and that phase is near.

I think the positive news around the market would not allow bitcoin to go lower than this, and even if the market most go lower it wouldn't exceed 88k as per the last year December all time low. So, sighting to how the reaction and the action and trending is going we could likely see more upper move than ever. Although I can't directly say how much we could go but might move above range of 100k which could settle around 126 of all time high and creating new ATH of 130k before we could to ending of Q1.
This are just my prediction, there are no prove to it as it is my personal perspectives.

This is a good momentum for Bitcoin price. After previously trading sideways at the $85k-$90k level, even experiencing a flash dump that touched $80k. Currently the price has managed to break through the important daily level which is aligned with resistance at $94k. It will likely then correct before continuing its journey to the resistance zone above, which is around $102k-$107k.

Yes, some others says that we are going to go down hard and I also believed that, but it seems that Bitcoin is resilience as it is holding around $90k when I personally thought that the price could be around $80k but this time as we could be in the bear market already.

So it's very conflicting right now, we really don't know what's the market next move at least for this month. But if we stay bullish then good, or maybe better if we break that $100k psychological barrier. Because if we do, then bullish sentiments might continue to grow again at least for this quarter.

Beyond Bitcoin, the broader crypto ecosystem is also expanding. New projects are finding ways to blend real-world interests with crypto. One example is Football.fun ($FUN), which combines sports, gaming, and blockchain. $FUN listed on BingX already, creating visibility and access to the project are about to increase.

You are speculating about bitcoin, but I don't understand why linking to other altcoins and then mentioning BingX, is like promoting an exchange.

Is Bitcoin preparing for its next cycle-driven breakout, or are we seeing early signs of a larger correction?

I assume the next cycle breakthrough is after the halving, so there is usually an increase during that period, it's just that now we or myself think the cycle is over.
There is no sign of a big correction, in fact bitcoin back to $95K is almost close to $100K again, while the movement of bitcoin no one ever knows just hope it can go up again.
