Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices moving higher, crypto trader The Cryptomist marked the next critical resistance $97,000.
A breakout at this level could set up a retest of the key broken trendline near $104,000.
However, the possibility of revisiting lower levels around $88,000 before reaching new all-time high remains on the table.
More Crypto Online marks the next key support zone lying between $94,610 and $95,743 as Bitcoin has reached the 100% extension level.
Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin has been consolidating around the $100,000 level for the past six weeks, building significant liquidity in this range.
Notably, the area above this level appears primed with ample liquidity to potentially drive prices higher.
He added that a key factor to watch is the performance of Bitcoin ETFs early in the year.
Days with inflows of $2 billion could fuel further bullish price action.
