Trader Notes: Michael van de Poppe said the key technical level to watch is Bitcoin’s 20-month moving average.

A monthly close above it, particularly above $90,000, would likely confirm bullish momentum and set the stage for a stronger start to 2026, with upside targets in the $105,000–$110,000 range.

ShardiB2 attributed the stalled Santa rally to tax-loss selling and low holiday liquidity.

With Bitcoin among the few major assets down on the year, investors who booked gains elsewhere are selling BTC to offset taxes.

That dynamic has increased downside pressure, with $85,200 flagged as a critical support level. A sustained break below it could accelerate losses.

Nebraskangooner added a constructive longer-term note, pointing out that Bitcoin’s monthly trend indicator has flipped bullish for the first time since March 2023, suggesting the broader trend may be improving despite near-term volatility.
