  • The Bitcoin price is approaching the $100,000 level again after recent declines.
  • The key resistance level at $99,800 is crucial for Bitcoin’s next move.
  • Breaking through this resistance could trigger a breakout and push Bitcoin past $100,000.
  • Approximately 923,890 wallet addresses hold over 1.19 million BTC around this price zone.
  • Bitcoin has historically seen significant gains after Christmas during halving years.

Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance At $99,800

The Bitcoin price is approaching the $100,000 mark once again after experiencing significant declines in recent weeks. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has pointed out that the critical resistance level at $99,800 is crucial for Bitcoin’s next big move. If Bitcoin can break through this level, it could trigger a significant breakout, potentially pushing the cryptocurrency past the $100,000 milestone.

Analysis of Bitcoin Wallets at Key Price Levels

Martinez shared an In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) chart that shows the distribution of Bitcoin wallets based on their purchase price. According to the analysis, Bitcoin faces extreme resistance between the $97,500 and $99,800 price levels as it attempts to break $100,000 again. Around this price zone, approximately 923,890 wallet addresses hold over 1.19 million BTC. This makes the price zone an important resistance level, as many holders may look to sell and break even, potentially causing selling pressure.

Understanding the IOMAP Chart

The IOMAP chart shared by Martinez uses green dots to show 'In the Money' areas where Bitcoin holders are in profit because they purchased BTC at lower prices. Red dots, on the other hand, show 'Out of the Money' price levels where holders are at a loss. The white dot indicates 'At the Money,' representing the current price, where some wallet holders neither gain nor lose. The chart shows strong buying zones below the current price, providing support if Bitcoin experiences a pullback.

What’s Next for Bitcoin?

Martinez predicts that breaking through the resistance range of $97,500 to $99,800 would signal the beginning of a bullish rally for Bitcoin, potentially taking it to a new all-time high. As of now, the Bitcoin price is trading at $98,652 and is steadily rising, approaching previous highs above $100,000. For Bitcoin to surpass its all-time high (ATH) of $104,000, it would need to surge by more than 7%.

Bitcoin’s Biggest Gains To Come After Christmas

Another well-known crypto analyst, 'Crypto Rover,' has expressed optimism about Bitcoin’s near-term price potential. According to the analyst, Bitcoin has historically seen its most significant gains after Christmas during halving years. In the past halving years (2012, 2016, and 2020), Bitcoin saw significant price rallies, with exponential highs following the halving events.

Based on this historical trend, Crypto Rover believes that Bitcoin could see a similar bullish surge before the end of 2024, with the rally potentially extending into 2025.
