Although Bitcoin whales and sharks (wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC) have continued accumulating over the past month, the price of Bitcoin has fallen below $90,000, indicating that the market no longer views such accumulation as a bullish signal. This divergence points to structural weakness, with buying pressure being offset by broader selling pressure, lack of liquidity, or leveraged liquidations. Key support areas to watch are $82,000 to $85,000, while reclaiming the $92,000 to $95,000 range would signal a weakening of the downward momentum.

BNB has rebounded above $920, approaching the key 7-year ascending channel resistance for the sixth time. Historically, this pattern often signals higher highs.

Despite the current bearish market sentiment, technical indicators such as a bullish RSI divergence and a MACD golden cross continue to support a positive market outlook.

The closely watched Momentum Index MACD has issued a red signal on the Bitcoin monthly chart, indicating that the bull run that began in early November near $20,000 may be coming to an end.
