Trader Notes: Michael van de Poppe said Bitcoin is showing a constructive bounce, holding its 21-day moving average, forming a higher low, and attracting steady buying. If daily closes hold, a retest of $94,000 is likely, with a breakout potentially opening the door to $100,000.

Daan Crypto Trades noted that early-year Bitcoin price action is typically choppy, marked by false breakouts and unclear trends. Historically, a more decisive move tends to emerge around weeks five to seven.

KillaXBT said Bitcoin has bounced from its range but needs follow-through to reclaim the daily open. A short-term dip toward $90,500 remains possible, with a sustained move below that level raising the risk of a deeper decline toward the 2026 yearly open.
