Bitcoin price continues to move sideways after a quiet weekend, showing little momentum in either direction. Saturday saw very low activity, and early Sunday trading has not brought any major change.
For now, Bitcoin has slipped below the important $90k level after dropping more than 1% in the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin is currently supported between $78,960 and $83,130, a zone that has held during recent pullbacks. On the upside, resistance remains between $92,588 and $101,570, which marks the upper boundary of the current range.
This range is based on the recent swing low formed on Friday, November 21, and the high reached earlier this week. Price action remains trapped between these levels, suggesting consolidation rather than a breakout.
Market conditions hint Bitcoin may remain range-bound through the end of December and possibly into early January. Trading activity often slows during the final days of the year, and the first week of January is usually quiet as well.
While some investors are hoping for a year-end rally, current price action does not yet show the strength needed for a sustained breakout. Any move higher is expected to take time rather than happen suddenly.
Bitcoin could still attempt another push toward higher resistance levels between $96,730 and $101,570, but such a move may take one to two weeks to develop.
At the moment, there is no strong momentum signal or sharp buying pressure. The market lacks the kind of decisive move that usually leads to a clear trend change.
If Bitcoin fails to break higher in the coming weeks, a deeper pullback early next year remains possible. Current price declines have been gradual and corrective rather than aggressive, which keeps the market in a holding pattern.
A move below $86,000 would increase the chance that the current consolidation phase has already ended. However, even that would still fall within a broader sideways structure rather than signal panic selling.
In the near term, Bitcoin continues to respect a trend line that has acted as support multiple times.
On the upside, a clear break above $93,550 would mean that buyers are regaining control and that a fresh move higher may be starting.
Overall, Bitcoin’s current behavior reflects a calm and patient market. Instead of sharp spikes, price action is showing controlled movement within defined levels.
