Previously, it was judged that there would be an upward breakout at the 87,000 level, and it indeed rose to 94,800. Later, when looking around 90,000, the market pushed it up to over 97,000.



Now stuck around 98,000, the market sentiment is very mixed. Some are shouting that it will crash back to 70,000, while others are still looking towards above 100,000. Whether this level is a false breakout or a real breakout will actually determine the subsequent trend.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has now broken through the important resistance at 94,000. But this level is very critical — there was a false breakout here in March 2022, and it only stabilized in July 2025. The current situation is somewhat similar, with everything hanging in the balance.

There are two possible paths. One is to continue the upward momentum and break through 98,000 before January 20. The price will definitely fluctuate, but the earlier the breakout, the stronger the momentum. Afterward, there could be a more obvious rally, with a target around 105,000. The other is that the market repeatedly oscillates above 95,000 for several days, which is a sign of weakness, and risk considerations should be taken into account.

Don’t pay too much attention to all the confusing levels. Focus on the key points at 98,000, 94,500, and 92,500. During other times, just sleep peacefully, play games, or go out and have fun. If you want to do some short-term trading, you can look at smaller timeframes.

98000 is really the key level, it feels like a gamble on whether I can break through Hey, the fake breakout in 2022 ended in a crash. Will it happen again this time? Just focus on these few points, don’t bother with the rest If I can't break 98, I’ll have to consider quitting, but it still looks like there's momentum If I can hit 105,000 before January 20th, I’ll be making a lot of profit, but I’m a bit annoyed by all these distractions now

98k card has been like this for so long, it feels like eating up chips --- Is this another false breakout? I bet it will return to 92500 --- Damn, I was right the first two times, this time I have to listen to you and keep a close eye on these three points --- Wake up everyone, the probability of history repeating itself is really high --- How long will it take to reach 105,000? I still want to see it this year --- Repeated oscillations are the most annoying, even more uncomfortable than a crash --- The key is whether it can break 98 on January 20th; if it does, it feels like it will take off --- Short-term swing trading on small levels is indeed reliable, I'll give it a try --- Those people at 70,000 are really daring to shout, there's no logic at all --- This position is too awkward, both bulls and bears have reasons

98000 is really a crucial level, it feels like going all-in at a casino... The previous predictions were accurate, now it's just a matter of whether we can break through smoothly or if there will be another "thrilling moment."

98000 this threshold is really risky, it feels like dancing on the edge of a knife, one misstep could bring us back to 70,000 Is it a false breakout or a real breakout? I really can't see through it this time... Will history repeat itself? Rather than obsessing over these, it's better to stick to those few key levels, and just focus on eating and sleeping during the rest of the time The target of 105,000 sounds good, but I just want to know how it will move on Monday

98000 this critical level is indeed a bit risky, but since your previous judgments of 87k and 90k were correct, this time I choose to trust you.
