📊 Bitcoin Dips Amid Uncertainty
Bitcoin (BTC) is down -2.87%, trading at $92,326. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) also dropped by -6.92% and -2.4%, respectively. BTC’s steep correction retested the critical $90,000 level, raising concerns among investors.
📉 Impact of Economic Data on Bitcoin
Strong jobs data has reduced the likelihood of significant rate cuts in 2025. The Fed’s hawkish stance, reinforced by the Nonfarm Payroll report, has contributed to Bitcoin’s uncertain trajectory, as markets adjust to reduced expectations of monetary easing.
📈 Technicals Signal Exhaustion
BTC’s rally from $67,000 to $100,000 within 30 days left inefficiencies in the market. Technicals now indicate profit-taking and exhaustion, making a reversal likely. Analysts warn that BTC’s fast-paced rise may lead to a retest of lower support levels.
📋 Speculation Around Trump’s Inauguration
The November rally was fueled by speculation surrounding Donald Trump’s election victory. With his January 20 inauguration nearing, many traders are closing positions, contributing to price drops. Speculation about a “sell-the-news” event has shaken market confidence.
📍 Key Support Levels and Potential Targets
Bitcoin’s key support level is $90,804. If breached, BTC could fall to $89,355, $85,083, or $73,646. Alternatively, a bounce from $90,804 could push BTC toward $102,810 and possibly its ATH at $108,374. Traders remain cautious as uncertainty looms over BTC’s next move.
