Over the past eight days, Bitcoin has failed twice to break above the $94k local resistance, while its higher timeframe trend remains bearish despite a rebound from $84k over the last three weeks.

On-chain metrics point to weakened short-term holder activity and a potential move toward the $98,700 resistance, with some traders eyeing the $102,000–$112,700 zone if momentum builds. Analysts describe the setup as fragile but improving, with macro policy expectations and subdued ETF inflows still shaping the next major breakout.

Bitcoin’s composite Bull-index is around 23%, while the fast version has slipped to 18%, forming a FAST < SLOW divergence that has historically preceded corrections or sideways phases.

With futures implying an 85% chance of a 25 bps cut to the 3.50–3.75% range, keeping baseline long exposure while avoiding added risk is framed as prudent amid fading short-term momentum.
