Bitcoin Eyes $95,000 as Short-Term Momentum Strengthens
Bitcoin has gained nearly 2% in the last 24 hours, stabilizing above $92,200. While the daily chart still shows slower movement, the 4-hour chart is beginning to hint at renewed strength. Because shorter timeframes catch trend shifts earlier, the next few sessions could determine whether Bitcoin finally challenges the key $95,000 zone — a level many analysts see as crucial for further upside.

Short-Term Momentum Builds — With One Major Risk
Bitcoin is approaching a bullish EMA crossover on the 4-hour timeframe.
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) reacts quickly to recent price changes, and traders often watch for crossovers to spot early trend reversals.
The 50-EMA is close to crossing above the 100-EMA — a bullish signal.
The gap between both EMAs has tightened, showing strong momentum building beneath the surface.
If this crossover completes, Bitcoin could gain a clearer route toward $95,700, the next critical resistance zone.
However, the Bull Bear Power indicator, which shows which side is dominating each candle, has weakened. If it slips further, the EMA crossover may fail — the main short-term risk.

Analysts Agree: $95,000 Is the Real Barrier
External commentary aligns with what the charts are signaling.
Analysts at B2BINPAY shared with BeInCrypto:
> “Bitcoin is trading in the $92,000–$93,000 range, yet every attempt to break $95,000 has failed. It still lacks strong catalysts.”
They added that a successful move above this zone could allow Bitcoin to attempt $96,000, and sustained consolidation may finally push price action toward $100,000.
In short: $95,000 remains the wall Bitcoin must break to unlock long-term upside potential.

Dormancy Rises — A Quiet but Important Signal
Another important on-chain metric, the Spent Coins Age Band, is showing rising dormancy.
This means fewer older coins are moving — often a sign of reduced selling pressure.
The metric has fallen sharply:
From 24,100 (Dec 10) to 12,500 today — nearly a 50% drop.
Previous similar drops led to rebounds:
Dec 2–9: Spent coins fell 27,800 → 9,200; BTC climbed ~5%.
Nov 21–24: Dormancy rose; BTC jumped from $85,500 → $92,300 (+8%).
Today’s decline isn’t as large, but the pattern is identical — and happening just as the EMA crossover tries to form.
This combination is usually supportive for short-term strength.

Key Bitcoin Levels to Watch This Week
Resistance Levels
$93,300 — Bitcoin hasn’t closed a 4-hour candle above this since Dec 9.
$94,300 — Next barrier if resistance breaks.
$95,700 — Major level tied to EMA signals and analyst expectations.
Support Levels
$90,800 — First support zone.
$89,300 — Deeper support that would delay any attempt at $95,000.

Overall Outlook: Setup Is Forming — But Buyers Must Hold the Line
At the moment, Bitcoin has three supportive elements lining up:
1. A potential EMA crossover
2. Falling spent-coin activity (rising dormancy)
3. Price pushing toward resistance
If buyers defend support and on-chain metrics stay on track, Bitcoin could finally attempt a run toward $95,000–$95,700 in the short term.
