Bitcoin is trading in a high range as the end of the year approaches. One chart shows possible signs of a slowdown, while others suggest the trend remains in place.<\/p>\n

Analysts and traders are watching as the debate grows around whether a move to $250,000 is still on the table.<\/p>\n

Divergence on Weekly Chart Raises Doubts<\/h2>\n

Analyst Ali Martinez shared a weekly chart showing a bearish divergence. The price has made new highs, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has not followed. This pattern has appeared before major pullbacks in past cycles.<\/p>\n

The chart illustrates Bitcoin fluctuating around the $112,900 mark following its latest $116,000 weekly peak. RSI, however, has made lower highs since 2021. The divergence between price and momentum raises concern that the current rally may be losing strength. A rounded top shape has also formed, which some view as a warning sign. Martinez questioned the chart, asking,<\/p>\n

Poppe commented that the market remains in good shape, with the chart indicating a continuous rise from 2023. The RSI is not in a critical zone, and volume has decreased from the previous high levels. The patterns on the candles do not indicate any significant reversals.<\/p>\n

Mid-Term Holders Take Profits as Old Coins Move<\/h2>\n

New data from Binance, reported<\/a> by Arab Chain, shows that short- and mid-term holders are active. The 6\u201312-month group accounts for $240.7 billion in realized supply. Other high-value groups include the 1\u20133-month and 3\u20136-month bands.<\/p>\n

The 3\u20135-year category has grown to $101.7 billion, marking renewed activity from holders who had remained inactive since the 2020\u20132021 cycle. This group becoming active often signals that a rally is entering its later stages. In contrast, coins held for more than five years continue to stay off the market, which may help support overall price stability.<\/p>\n

Gold has been climbing steadily in recent months. Some market watchers suggest this could support Bitcoin\u2019s momentum. As reported<\/a> by CryptoPotato, gold has reached a zone that has previously lined up with stronger moves in BTC. While the link is not exact, the timing adds context to current market expectations.<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin situation is crucial, with mixed charts and changing on-chain activities. It is still uncertain if Bitcoin will hit $250,000 by the end of the year, but the market is still paying attention to price and momentum.<\/p>\n
