The Secret Crypto Surge: Is Bitcoin Poised for an Explosive Breakout Amid Political Shifts?

7

Since surpassing the $90,000 threshold for the first time on November 19, Bitcoin’s price has been stabilizing, fluctuating between $108,268 and $91,000. Analysts suggest this period of consolidation might soon conclude, leading to a potential breakout. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted that the current price behavior is part of Bitcoin’s first price discovery correction, indicating it may be near its end following a strong performance above $91,000 on January 14. Historically, Bitcoin corrections have averaged between 30% to 35% over three to four weeks, but the current correction has been relatively mild at 15% over four weeks, suggesting a final stage.

Additional analysis shows intensified buyer activity around the $90,000 mark, pushing Bitcoin to close above $91,000 on January 13. Maintaining this support level is crucial for determining Bitcoin’s next move. Independent analyst Trader Tardigrade anticipates further consolidation leading to a “final capitulation” before a significant price surge, aligning with patterns seen in January 2024.


Bitcoin’s volatility indicator, specifically the tightening of Bollinger Bands, suggests a potential bottom is near, indicating the possibility of an upward move. Analyst Batman noted that the current Bollinger Bandwidth is at an extremely low level, last seen when Bitcoin was $50,000 in September 2024. Historically, such lows have preceded price rallies of 30% to 101%.

Bitcoin’s price movement might also be influenced by the upcoming U.S. presidential inauguration, with incoming President Donald Trump possibly issuing pro-crypto executive orders. The options market has responded with increased activity in Bitcoin call options, particularly at $100,000 and $120,000 strikes, indicating bullish sentiment.

With President-elect Trump promising to make the U.S. a “crypto capital,” investors are closely watching the administration’s approach to crypto regulations. Meanwhile, caution is advised as every investment carries risk, and thorough research is recommended.
