Bitcoin Pauses Above $91,000 As Buyers Defend It

Cryptocurrency analysts of Coinidol.com report, Bitcoin (BTC) price has fallen below the moving averages for the second time.

Bitcoin price long term forecast: bearish

On December 30, 2024, Bitcoin dipped above $91,000 before rising above the moving average lines. On January 7, buyers failed to sustain the bullish momentum above the $100,000 high, leading to the decline. Today, Bitcoin is consolidating above the support level of $91,430 but below the moving average lines. Buyers are stubbornly defending the psychological price level of $90,000 as bearish momentum stalls above the $91,000 support. However, if Bitcoin loses its current support above $91,000, the bears are likely to break the $90,000 level. Bitcoin will continue to fall and reach a low of $85,000. 

Nonetheless, the largest cryptocurrency will resume its positive trend once it breaks above the moving average lines. Bitcoin is currently worth $94,700.
