Trader Notes: Ted Pillows noted that long-term Bitcoin holders have paused selling for the first time since July 2025, a shift that reduces supply pressure and increases the odds of a short-term relief rally.
Trader CryptoUB said a brief dip toward $85,700 would not be unhealthy.
Bitcoin has stalled in the $88,000–$90,000 range without a breakout and has not swept nearby lows for liquidity in some time.
A controlled move lower could clear liquidity and set up a stronger continuation higher.
Entrepreneur and Bitcoin investor Lark Davis highlighted that Bitcoin has never closed a post-halving year in the red. Currently, BTC is down about 3% from its yearly open near $93,400.
The key question is whether Bitcoin can reclaim that level in the final days of the year and preserve the historical streak.
