Bitcoin approaches the critical resistance level of $95,000, with a potential to test the $100,000 psychological threshold

BTC0,45%

Recently, Bitcoin prices have continued to rebound, with the latest quote around $93,800, gradually approaching the important resistance zone of $95,000. Over the past 7 days, Bitcoin has increased approximately 7.5%, with a 30-day gain of 4.5%, and 24-hour trading volume has increased by over 30% year-on-year, indicating a significant revival in market participation. Meanwhile, derivatives trading remains active, open interest steadily rising, suggesting that funds are rotating rather than aggressively leveraging.

However, from a risk-adjusted return perspective, the market is not uniformly optimistic. CryptoQuant data shows that Bitcoin’s Sharpe ratio has been declining continuously, and the one-year return remains in negative territory. This means that although prices are rising, the return efficiency per unit of risk is decreasing. In previous strong bull markets, prices and the Sharpe ratio often moved upward together, but the current divergence suggests that this rally is driven more by short-term funds rather than stable demand.

Cycle indicators also signal a cooling-off. The bull-bear cycle model has retreated from high levels but has not yet fallen into an extreme pessimistic zone, indicating the market is more in a consolidation phase rather than capitulation. On-chain data shows that long-term holders remain stable, while short-term traders’ profitability is beginning to be pressured, a structure often seen during high-level oscillations.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has re-claimed the 10-day and 50-day moving averages but remains constrained by medium- to long-term moving averages in the $96,000 to $106,000 range. The RSI is at 65, indicating momentum is still decent, but stochastic and Williams indicators are approaching overbought levels, increasing short-term correction risks. Bollinger Bands show the price near the upper band, which is more consistent with a sideways correction rather than a trend breakout.

Overall, if Bitcoin can stabilize above $92,000 to $93,000, it may attempt to challenge $95,000 again or even test the psychological level of $100,000; conversely, a pullback could target support levels at $90,000 and $88,500. In the short term, investors should be cautious of potential volatility driven by indicator divergences.
