The latest Bitcoin price analysis shows BTC approaching the $90,000 threshold, delivering a short-term rebound for the cryptocurrency market. Analysts caution this move does not confirm a sustained uptrend, as momentum remains fragile and liquidity uncertain.
Market data show a roughly 22% drawdown for Bitcoin in the fourth quarter, among the worst Q4 outcomes since 2018. While the overall total crypto market cap sits near $3 trillion, sentiment stays guarded as investors await clearer signals. Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro, called the move a technical rebound, not a genuine recovery.
During the Asian session, BTC traded near $88,000, about 30% below its 2025 high and below the start-of-year level. Major tokens showed mixed moves (XRP, ETH, SOL, ADA, DOGE higher; AAVE slid on governance concerns), illustrating persistent volatility risk as macro uncertainty persists in U.S. trading hours.
