Bitcoin’s volatile price has grabbed the attention of traders and analysts, sparking fresh discussions about opportunities to buy on dips.
As prices have corrected, Binance CEO CZ shared a sardonic remark on social media about Bitcoin’s “crash” from $101,000 to $85,000. He later shared a post suggesting Bitcoin could reach another all-time high (ATH) soon, showing his positive outlook despite market fluctuations.

Bitcoin’s Price: Key Trends to Watch
Bitcoin’s price is trying to stabilize after the sharp correction. After dipping below $97,500, the cryptocurrency recovered slightly, now trading near $95,986. A critical support level lies at $92,000, with significant buyer activity seen at these levels.

Market Volatility and Liquidation Trends
Well-known analysts, including Ali Martinez, note that over 62.07% of Binance traders with open Bitcoin positions are betting on a price increase, adding to the bullish sentiment. Bitcoin’s price swings have led to significant liquidations on both long and short positions.
There were notable spikes in short liquidations when prices rose in November and early December, while long liquidations jumped when prices fell in mid-August and late November. This pattern shows traders tend to underestimate market fluctuations, often resulting in liquidation cascades during sharp price reversals.
Is a Bitcoin Rebound on the Horizon?
Technical indicators give mixed signals for Bitcoin’s short-term outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 36.84, hinting at oversold conditions with potential for recovery. Also, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a small bullish divergence, suggesting that momentum may shift if Bitcoin stays above $96,000.
