📉 Bitcoin Is Stuck - And That Might Be the Most Important Signal Right Now
Bitcoin isn’t breaking out… but it’s also not breaking down. $BTC has been moving in a tight range while stocks like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq do the same - and that kind of quiet usually means the market is waiting, not finished.
This sideways phase has been building since late November. We saw a bounce, a slightly higher low, a marginally higher high - and then price drifted right back into the middle of the range. No panic. No euphoria. Just digestion after the last big move.
Zooming out, the structure is very clear. On the upside, Bitcoin keeps getting rejected between $92,800 and $101,200. On the downside, buyers have defended $82,000–$85,200. As long as price stays inside this band, there’s no real trend - just range trading and patience.
Short-term action tells the same story. Attempts to hold above $91K–$92K keep fading, while support near $86.5K–$88.2K continues to absorb selling. Small swings, choppy moves, no follow-through - classic “waiting for confirmation” behavior.
To sum up, a clean break above resistance could open the door toward $97K–$98.5K, but until that happens, Bitcoin is likely to keep tracking broader markets and moving sideways. This isn’t a prediction phase - it’s a positioning phase, where levels matter more than narratives.
