started the week strong with a 60% increase in its 24-hour trading volume. The leading cryptocurrency broke the key $92,000 level and gained $50 billion in market capitalization over the past day.
Analyst Michael van de Poppe noted on He believes the strong demand could help BTC hold above the $92,000 resistance in the coming days.
A good start to the week.
The CME Gap was in fact filled when the markets opened, as #Bitcoin the price dropped to $89.4k.
However, the drop was quickly caught up by traders as the price is now fighting the crucial resistance zone.

The analyst predicts a possible rally towards the psychological $100,000 level before the end of 2025, given that buying momentum remains firm.
Analyst Ted echoed this caution and noted that the $89,500 CME gap would likely be closed this week. This makes the $88,000 to $89,000 range very important for Bitcoin bulls to defend.
$BTC moves again into the $92,000-$94,000 resistance zone.
Bitcoin also has an active CME gap around the $89,500 level, which will likely be filled this week.
After that, it will depend on how strongly the bulls defend the $88,000 to $89,000 level. pic.twitter.com/GbG4pru2Q0

Bitcoin Taker Buys Volume Spikes
Meanwhile, data from CryptoQuant shows repeated increases in Bitcoin takers’ purchasing volume over the past two weeks. This further implies constant buying pressure during sharp declines, as each recent pullback has led to heavy buying.
CryptoQuant analysts suggest bullish signals with strong falling demand and whale activity. They warn, however, that buyers may slow down as prices weaken.

What’s next for BTC price?
At the same time, traders are also eyeing the Dec. 10 Federal Reserve meeting, with analysts expecting a 0.25% rate cut. Weak employment data points to a slowing labor market, while inflation concerns put the Fed in a tough spot.
A rate cut would increase liquidity and could support BTC in the short term. Additionally, the market is also expected to witness a Santa Claus gathering at the end of the year.
However, not everyone agrees. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that BTC recently fell below its realized price/liveability ratio. Past cycles show that BTC often falls towards its realized price after this signal.
When Bitcoin $BTC slips below its realized price/liveability ratio, it often finds support close to its realized price.

This level currently sits at $56,355, meaning there is still a possibility of a larger pullback.
