Bitcoin Price Prediction: No Breakout Yet as Year-End Volatility Falls

Published by

Bitcoin continued to trade in a narrow range on Monday, with price action showing little change over the past three weeks as markets head into the year-end period of low liquidity and reduced volatility.

A technical analyst tracking the daily chart said the move still appears to be part of a broader wave-four rebound, with no confirmation yet of a direct breakout to the upside. Despite small intraday gains, chart structures across timeframes remain aligned and do not show a shift in trend.

Short-Term Moves Not Reflected in Broader Trend

According to the analyst, the recent uptick in trader sentiment on social media has been driven by minor green candles on shorter timeframes. But he added that these moves do not change the wider structure, which has remained largely unchanged for nearly a month.

He said traders should “zoom out” and separate short-term fluctuations from long-term patterns, stressing that a chart can appear bullish on lower timeframes while showing a different picture on higher ones.

Market Slows Ahead of Holiday Period

With the year-end holiday season approaching, the analyst expects slower price action to continue. Bitcoin has hovered within the same range for three weeks, and he said there is little preventing it from staying there until late December.

He added that big directional decisions from market participants are unlikely before early next year.

Technical Levels in Focus

The analyst continues to track a possible triangle pattern within the current consolidation. A break below $89,300 would invalidate the pattern and likely push the price back toward Fibonacci support between $85,988 and $88,912.

A move above $94,620, the high point of the pattern’s B-wave, would be the first signal of a possible upside breakout.

Micro-support between $90,197 and $91,888 in case of an additional pullback within the structure.
