BlockBeats News, December 25 — CoinDesk analyst James Van Straten wrote that Bitcoin’s stay in the $70,000 to $80,000 range was relatively short, with only 28 trading days, making this price range one of the least developed in terms of historical consolidation and support. Since reaching a new all-time high in October and then pulling back, Bitcoin traded mostly between $80,000 and $90,000 throughout December. This correction pulled the price back into a range where the market historically spends less time, especially compared to most of 2024, when Bitcoin spent more days trading between $50,000 and $70,000. This uneven distribution indicates that support in the $80,000 range, and even the $70,000 to $79,999 range, is less solid compared to lower price ranges. URPD data shows a significant lack of supply in the $70,000 to $80,000 range, consistent with futures data. Both sets of data suggest that if Bitcoin enters another correction phase, the $70,000 to $80,000 range may become a zone where the price needs more time to consolidate and establish more stable support.

Fractal model predicts Bitcoin will hit bottom in October 2026
Bitcoin shows positive recovery signals, improving market sentiment after a long phase of volatility. However, experts believe the current uptrend is short-term, with deeper correction risks ahead. According to Crypto Rover's fractal model, Bitcoin's price follows a four-year cycle influenced by halving events. The current cycle likely peaked in late 2025, with further declines expected before a potential bottom around 2026. Short-term price fluctuations can mislead investors, emphasizing the importance of understanding these cycles for long-term trends.
