Bitcoin is currently going through a calm but tense phase as it faces $23.6 billion in option expiry today. After weeks of heavy selling in October and November, the market is trying to find stability.
According to recent analysis from 10x Research, Bitcoin has triggered a bullish breakout that may signal the start of a multi-week recovery, with upside potential toward $110K if momentum holds.
According to 10x Research, Bitcoin’s current price structure began with the sharp October 10 crash, when BTC fell from its peak near $98,000, and the broader crypto market saw about $19 billion in liquidations.
Pressure increased after the October 29 Federal Reserve meeting, which delivered a hawkish message. Soon after, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded heavy selling, with nearly $903 million in net outflows. This drained liquidity and kept Bitcoin stuck under selling pressure.
Even when prices looked attractive, buyers remained cautious. As a result, the downtrend lasted longer than many traders expected.
By late November, selling began to fade as most short-term sellers had exited. However, instead of rebounding, capital shifted to assets like gold and silver, leaving Bitcoin stuck in a slow recovery.
From a chart perspective, Bitcoin recently moved above its descending trendline, signaling potential trend exhaustion. Key support near the $85,000 zone held firm, strengthening buyer confidence. As long as Bitcoin stays above this zone, the market avoids deeper losses.
Even though Bitcoin has tried to move above $92K but failed several times, one major reason is low trading volume, which is common near year-end.
With fewer traders active, price moves lack strength. As a result, recent rises look like short pauses, not a true trend shift.
On the upside, Bitcoin faces heavy resistance. The first level to watch is $91,000, which could signal the end of consolidation if broken. The bigger hurdle lies near $94,700, a key level that could shift market sentiment.
If Bitcoin clears these zones, upside targets sit near $100,600, $105,400, and $110,000.
As of now, BTC is trading $88,656, reflecting a jump of 1.5% seen in the last $1.77 trillion.
