BTC USD Remains Stuck Below $90K

Uncertainty is mounting as Bitcoin (BTC) USD price refuses to exit the $87,000 to $90,000 range.

At press time, BTC USD was trading at $88,724, reflecting a 1% intraday rise and a roughly 2% weekly rise. Bitcoin has been stuck below the $90,000 mark since December 13th, only going above that level for a few minutes.

Pointing to Bitcoin’s persistent consolidation between $88,000 and $90,000, Market analyst Ted Pillows noted on X: “The yearly candle will most likely close in red.”

According to the Smart Money Concepts chart on TradingView, $90,000 to $94,000 is the nearest major bearish zone. Meanwhile, $66,000 to $70,000 is the closest major support zone. These zones are marked based on institutional activity.
