Bitcoin needs to find support in the $90,000 to $85,000 range in order for altcoins to recover and find new buyers.
Bitcoin (BTC) has started the last week of the year on a soft note, indicating that the bulls are not hurrying to buy the dip. Analysts are divided about Bitcoin’s short-term price action. Some expect a strong rally leading into United States President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, while others anticipate the volatility to increase. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes voiced a contrarian view in his blog post on Dec. 17, where he said the markets are likely to witness a “harrowing dump” around Trump’s inauguration day.
While short-term traders may be waiting for the uncertainty to clear before buying, MicroStrategy has continued its Bitcoin buying spree for the eighth successive week. The business intelligence firm announced the purchase of 2,138 Bitcoin between Dec. 23 and Dec. 29 at an average price of roughly $97,837.
