“Bitcoin’s been rising consistently, and it’s getting very close to $90,000. The market is buzzing,” he added, mentioning the “Santa Rally,” the “magic” boost that happens at the end of the year that gets traders hyped. “People are all focused on the prices rising, so everyone’s looking at their charts, and they’re all poring over the derivatives markets, thinking that’s going to be the catalyst for more upside.”
Bitcoin is up by 6.5% from the recent lows, and this has infused the market with adrenaline. Short liquidations are adding fuel to the fire, giving the bulls room to catch their breath. However, there’s a warning sign: if Bitcoin goes below $84,000, things may quickly get messy.
The impending Santa Rally is sustaining the hype surrounding Bitcoin. This is due to the fact that traders start to anticipate an end-of-year boost at this time. Investors may be seen anxiously anticipating the movement from the charts and the derivatives as the markets are already seeing some price increases.

Prices are above major levels of resistance, which shows that market leaders are still in control. RSI levels are above 70, which implies that the market momentum as well as market influence are dominated by the bulls. Of course, markets of this nature are expected to make abrupt changes.
The fact that Bitcoin surged by 5,000 dollars in a single day has brought the Santa Rally back under discussion. Some analysts think that it may hit 98,000 dollars or 100,000 dollars, while a few extremely optimistic ones think that it may reach 120,000 dollars if things go in their favor. But others are opposing this view by warning that a slump to 70,000 dollars is still a possibility.

In the derivatives market, the situation looks favorable to the bulls. The structure on the futures side looks good, and the squeezers are making the shorts squirm.
However, quite a lot depends on the level of 84,000 dollars. This is an important level because quite a significant amount of Bitcoin has been accumulated between 84,000 and 85,000 dollars, which is close to 97,000 BTC. If it stays above this level, then it can continue moving up. But if it breaks below that level, then there may be further declines.
As usual, the crypto market continues to remain unpredictable. Some traders are getting ready for a strong rally, whereas others are preparing for a correction. Whether the Santa Rally will kick in or die out amidst selling pressure will only be revealed by time itself. Currently, being alert and up to date has never been more important.
