Some market participants are watching for a possible year-end rally, while others see signs of weakness.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"key-resistance-in-focus\">Key Resistance in Focus<\/h2>\n<p>Crypto analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/1998319563541217638?s=20\">says<\/a> Bitcoin is still trading along a bullish path. He pointed to $91,892 as a level that needs to be cleared to maintain upward momentum. If that happens, the next major resistance is around $100,793. A move through this zone could open the way to $100,000 before the end of December.<\/p>\n<p>Van de Poppe said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all depending on the open in the US, if that\u2019s going to be causing the standard correction, then it\u2019s time to buy the dip.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He also flagged a rejection at $92,000, saying it \u201c<em>doesn\u2019t look great in the short-term<\/em>,\u201d but left open the chance of a breakout. If the market fails to hold current levels, he expects a possible drop to between $78,000 and $82,000 before a rebound.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1422756\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1422756\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/G7t1DMlXcAAOySl.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1422756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin (BTC) Price Chart 09.12.

In a recent video, analyst Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1998045565154906467?s=20\">pointed out<\/a> that Bitcoin has reacted negatively after most FOMC meetings this year. Out of seven meetings so far, six were followed by corrections, with only one short-lived rally in May.<\/p>\n<p>Market data shows expectations for a rate cut are high, with current projections at over 87%. Still, Fed Chair Jerome Powell may take a cautious stance. Van de Poppe <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/1998119389196161132?s=20\">warned<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if\u2026 Powell says \u2018I don\u2019t know whether we\u2019ll proceed with rate cuts\u2019 and the market does a classic sell-off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Traders are preparing for either outcome, with some anticipating a final move lower before a potential reversal into year-end.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bearish-flag-pattern-raises-doubts\">Bearish Flag Pattern Raises Doubts<\/h2>\n<p>A chart shared by Ali <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1998235654971437515?s=20\">suggests<\/a> Bitcoin may be forming a bearish flag. If confirmed, this setup could lead to a move down toward $70,000. The pattern follows a sharp drop, with a consolidation phase forming below key resistance. A break below the lower trendline would suggest continued weakness.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, other analysts are watching short-term structure. DamiDefi <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DamiDefi\/status\/1998321879720042634?s=20\">noted<\/a> that Bitcoin remains under a downward trendline on the 4-hour chart. He said a breakout above $94,000 would confirm strength, but if recent lows are lost, further downside is likely.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cUntil $BTC clears this downtrend, you\u2019re not buying a dip, you\u2019re buying a downtrend,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although there is a conflict of opinion regarding the short-term direction, on-chain information <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-exchange-outflows-accelerate-despite-short-term-price-weakness\/\">indicates<\/a> that Bitcoin is still moving out of centralized exchanges. The trend usually indicates a long-term holding nature and can decrease the selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/will-the-fed-crash-bitcoin-btc-or-spark-a-100k-rally\/\">Will the Fed Crash Bitcoin (BTC) or Spark a $100K Rally?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/will-the-fed-crash-bitcoin-btc-or-spark-a-100k-rally\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bitcoin (BTC) is holding shakily above $90,000 as traders assess the next move ahead of the US Federal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39001,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/39001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
