– Will Santa Claus Rally come this year? 🎄
Christmas is just around the corner, and all eyes are on Bitcoin (BTC) as traders and analysts speculate about target prices for December. After a month of fluctuations between $84,000 and $94,000, BTC is currently around $90,000.
Bullish outlook
Some market experts expect a bright surge:
AlphaBTC and Captain Faibik predict a Santa Claus Rally, pointing out that the correction may end and BTC could break above $98,000 – $100,000.
Korinek_Trades, using Elliott wave theory, predicts a new peak of $150,000.
Ignas emphasized the expiration of the option $26 Dec, which could lead to a rise in BTC to $96,000.
Bear signal
However, not everyone is sure:
Maxim Balashevich ( Santiment ) shows that sentiment on social media does not yet reflect enough "panic" to confirm a bottom; BTC could still fall to $75,000.
CryptoOnchain (CryptoQuant) warns that an influx of $1.4 billion in BTC on major exchanges could trigger a pullback to the demand zone of $70,000–$72,000.
Analysts like Killa and Doctor Profit predict that after months of volatility, the next deep correction could occur in the first quarter of 2026, with a potential target of $60,000.
Jurrian Timmer from Fidelity noted that the four-year Bitcoin cycle is not over yet, and the bear market could continue until 2026, with support in the range of $65,000 to $75,000.
On-Chain Perspective
Analyst Murphy highlights significant accumulation of chips in the range of $80,000 to $90,000, while the range of $70,000 to $80,000 remains a liquidity zone that could potentially become strong support if BTC drops.
Santa Claus Effect
What is called the "Christmas Rally" is traditionally viewed in the stock market as a combination of:
The optimism of the holidays
Institutional year-end summary
Low liquidity allows smaller amounts to move prices
In cryptocurrency, volatility is significantly higher, and the Santa rally is more dependent on broader bull/bear cycles.
Historical data
Over the last 10–11 years, the average profit of Bitcoin in December was approximately 8.25%, while the total market capitalization increased by about 13.16%.
During the week leading up to Christmas ( from December 19 to December 25, 2019, BTC rose 8 out of 11 times, with the highest profit of +13.19% in 2016.
In the week after Christmas, BTC typically grows by 6–9 times, showing a stronger market momentum with )82% positive returns (.
Note: During a bull market, a Christmas rally is often more frequent and likely, whereas in a bear market or during a consolidation phase, BTC may move sideways or decrease slightly.
Important points
The average value of the Christmas relay is 1–2%, which is less than the full potential of December )~9%(.
Thin liquidity is a double-edged sword: it can increase profits but can also lead to sudden collapse.
Price increases during holidays often reflect emotions rather than fundamental trends.
Conclusion
This year Santa may be late or only bring small gifts. Focus on rationality, risk management, and avoid blindly chasing sharp jumps.
