Bitcoin has shown renewed bullish momentum in recent sessions, pushing price 
back toward the $97,000 level after weeks of persistent selling pressure. For 
much of the recent consolidation, the market struggled under distribution from 
short-term participants and cautious positioning from traders who remained 
uncertain about the broader trend. That dynamic now appears to be shifting. 
While price action alone does not confirm a full trend reversal, the latest 
rebound suggests that downside pressure is easing and that buyers are becoming 
more willing to absorb available supply. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Take 
Control: Futures Positioning Turns Bullish for First Time Since October This 
improvement in price behavior is supported by on-chain context rather than 
pure speculation. A quick insight from a CryptoQuant analyst highlights a rare 
development in market sentiment: the Bitcoin Bull Score Index has dropped to 
20, a level that has historically appeared only a handful of times over the 
past several years. Such readings typically reflect deeply pessimistic 
conditions, when bullish signals across multiple indicators are scarce. 
Paradoxically, these environments often coincide with transitional phases 
rather than sustained declines. When bearish sentiment becomes widespread and 
measurable optimism disappears, markets tend to become increasingly sensitive 
to even modest improvements in demand. Bitcoin Bull Score Hits A Rare 
Historical Level Over the past six years, the Bitcoin Bull Score Index has 
fallen to levels of 20 or lower only seven times. The market is now 
experiencing the seventh occurrence, placing the current environment among the 
rarest sentiment regimes in Bitcoin’s history. This index aggregates multiple 
on-chain and market indicators to assess whether conditions favor bullish 
continuation or reflect broad-based weakness. Readings near 20 indicate that 
very few bullish signals are active at the same time, highlighting a market 
dominated by caution rather than optimism. Historically, such extremes have 
tended to appear during transitional phases. They often emerge late in 
corrections, when selling pressure has largely played out, but confidence has 
not yet returned. This does not guarantee an immediate reversal. However, it 
does suggest that downside momentum is becoming increasingly fragile, as most 
participants who wanted to de-risk have already done so. The timing of this 
signal is particularly relevant as Bitcoin approaches a critical psychological 
zone near $100,000. This level represents both a major round-number resistance 
and a key reference point for short-term and long-term holders. The coming 
weeks will be decisive. A sustained push toward and above $100K, accompanied 
by improving breadth in on-chain indicators, would likely mark a shift away 
from defensive positioning. Conversely, failure at this level could reinforce 
consolidation and prolong uncertainty. Related Reading: OG Bitcoin Selling 
Slows Sharply: Long-Dormant Coins Go Quiet Weekly Chart Shows Recovery Attempt 
Below Resistance Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows a market attempting to reassert 
strength after a prolonged corrective phase, with price now trading around the 
$96,000–$97,000 zone. This area is technically important, as it aligns with a 
former consolidation range that acted as support during mid-2025 and later 
flipped into resistance after the November breakdown. The recent rebound 
suggests buyers are willing to defend higher lows, but confirmation remains 
incomplete. From a trend perspective, Bitcoin is still trading below the 
declining 50-week moving average, which currently caps upside attempts. This 
level has acted as dynamic resistance during previous bear-to-neutral 
transitions. And will be a critical area to reclaim for trend continuation. 
Below the price, the 100-week moving average continues to slope upward and has 
provided structural support during the recent pullbacks. Reinforcing the idea 
that the broader market structure remains intact despite short-term weakness.

Comes Into Focus Volume behavior is also notable. The rebound toward $97,000 
occurred without a major expansion in volume, revealing that the move may 
still lack strong conviction. This supports the view that the current advance 
could be a recovery leg within a larger consolidation rather than the start of 
an impulse. If Bitcoin can consolidate above $95,000 and eventually reclaim 
the 50-week moving average, the probability of a continuation toward the 
$105,000–$110,000 region increases. Failure to hold this zone would expose the 
market to renewed downside tests toward the mid-$80,000s. Keeping the broader 
consolidation unresolved. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from
