Market analyst Tony Severino from YouHodler says Bitcoin remains technically in an uptrend but is facing heavy resistance around the $100,000 area, which he views as a potential bull trap. He argues that failure to reclaim and hold above this level and a drop below the $74,000 support could confirm a bear market, with a possible downside target near $53,000. Severino also expects Ethereum to start outperforming Bitcoin and suggests that a shift in the ETH/BTC ratio could set the stage for a new altcoin phase in 2026.

Bitcoin is trading in what Glassnode describes as a structurally fragile range, pressured by high unrealized losses, rising realized losses, and profit-taking by long-term holders. Even so, demand has so far kept the price above the True Market Mean, and analysts say a retest of $95,000 and $102,700 is possible if sellers begin to tire. On-chain and derivatives data point to a cautious market, with muted ETF flows, subdued liquidity and options positioning that anticipates a volatility event into late December, according to Glassnode.
