Bitcoin is pushing above the $95,000 level as selling pressure across the 
market continues to ease, offering a renewed sense of short-term stability 
after weeks of choppy consolidation. Following a volatile end to last year, 
price action has gradually improved, with buyers regaining control and forcing 
Bitcoin back into a range that had previously acted as resistance. While 
skepticism remains high and many analysts continue to warn of a broader 
corrective phase, recent derivatives and positioning data suggest that market 
behavior may be shifting beneath the surface. Related Reading: Bitcoin LTH 
SOPR Signals Early Capitulation, But Selling Pressure Remains Contained 
According to an analysis shared by Axel Adler, Bitcoin’s Positioning Index 
SMA-30d has climbed to 3.5, marking the first sustained breakout above the 3.0 
level since October 6, 2025. That previous breakout occurred during the rally 
that ultimately carried BTC toward the $125,000 peak, making the current move 
particularly notable from a historical perspective. The positioning index 
reflects aggregated futures market dynamics, including open interest, funding 
behavior, and long-short activity, and is often used to identify regime 
changes in trader sentiment. This renewed strength in positioning does not 
guarantee immediate upside continuation, but it does indicate that futures 
traders are once again willing to take directional exposure after months of 
defensive positioning. As Bitcoin holds above $95K, the coming sessions will 
be critical in determining whether this move develops into a broader trend or 
remains a temporary relief rally. Futures Positioning Signals a Shift Toward a 
Bullish Regime According to Axel Adler Jr., the recent breakout of the 
Positioning Index SMA-30d above the 3.0 level marks an important local shift 
in Bitcoin’s futures market structure. After spending nearly three months 
oscillating within the 0 ± 2 range, this move signals that traders are 
transitioning from neutral or defensive positioning into a more directional 
stance. Adler notes that confirmation now depends on persistence rather than 
speed. The key continuation trigger is the SMA holding above the 2.0 level for 
at least one week, which would validate that the shift is not a short-lived 
reaction. This view is reinforced by developments in the Bitcoin Advanced 
Sentiment Index. While sentiment briefly peaked at 93.15% when BTC traded near 
$95,061, it has since cooled to roughly 70%. Importantly, this pullback has 
occurred without a breakdown in price structure. The index remains well above 
the neutral 50% threshold and above its 30-day average near 62.9%, indicating 
that bullish conditions still dominate the futures market. Adler interprets 
the roughly 23-percentage-point decline in sentiment as a healthy release of 
short-term overheating rather than a trend reversal. Historically, such resets 
often strengthen trend durability. Risk emerges if sentiment falls below 50% 
alongside a price drop under $92,000. Conversely, holding sentiment above 60% 
during short consolidation phases would support further upside continuation.

Comes Into Focus Bitcoin Price Action Details Bitcoin price action on the 
daily chart shows a clear attempt to regain control after a prolonged 
consolidation phase. Following the sharp November sell-off that pushed BTC 
into the low $80K region, price has gradually formed a higher-low structure, 
signaling stabilization rather than continued capitulation. The recent push 
above $95,000 marks the highest daily close since mid-November and places 
Bitcoin back above its short-term moving average, a level that had capped 
upside throughout December. However, the broader trend remains mixed. The 
50-day moving average is still sloping downward and sits above the current 
price, acting as near-term dynamic resistance. Meanwhile, the 200-day moving 
average continues to trend higher well below price, confirming that the 
broader market structure remains intact despite recent volatility. This 
positioning reflects a market transitioning from corrective pressure into a 
potential recovery phase, rather than a clean trend reversal. Related Reading: 
XRP Consolidates Above $2 As Volume Z-Score Signals A Quiet Market The recent 
advance toward $95K occurred without a significant volume spike, suggesting 
reduced selling pressure rather than aggressive new demand. This is consistent 
with a relief-driven move fueled by short covering and position rebalancing. 
For bulls, holding above the $93K–$95K range is critical to maintain momentum 
and build a base for continuation. Failure to consolidate above this zone 
would increase the risk of renewed range-bound trading or a pullback toward 
the $90K support area. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
