Bitcoin Price Outlook: BTC Stays Below $90k as Range Trade May Extend Into Early January 2026

Bitcoin is trading sideways after a low‑activity weekend, slipping under the key $90k mark with a decline of more than 1% in the past 24 hours. The price is fluctuating between support at $78,960–$83,130 and resistance at $92,588–$101,570, with analysts suggesting this range could persist through late December and into early January. A decisive move above $93,550 or below $86,000 may signal whether buyers regain control or a deeper corrective phase is starting.
