In the final week of 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) remains stagnant around $90,000, despite significant movements in other markets. Traders are cautious as weekly volatility has returned, with a recent spike above this key level failing to maintain support.
Whale traders on Bitfinex have increased their long positions, reaching the highest levels seen in almost two years. This activity occurs amidst a broader crypto market that appears defeated, with risk assets like stocks and precious metals thriving.
As the year-end approaches, the market anticipates potential volatility due to the recent expiry of $24 billion in options, which may influence price fluctuations over the coming weeks. Observations indicate resistance at $94,300 and $100,000, while lower support might be tested in the mid-$80,000 range.
