Bitcoin back to $90K next? Traders diverge on BTC price pullback odds

As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve witnessed countless market fluctuations and learned to stay calm amidst the storm. Today, I find myself standing at the precipice of excitement and apprehension, as Bitcoin (BTC) dances around the $100,000 mark.


On November 22nd, Bitcoin (BTC) encountered a significant obstacle in reaching $100,000 due to a barrier of approximately $300 million worth of sell orders that impeded its progress.

BTC price teases with rejection near $100,000

According to data from both CryptoMoon Markets Pro and TradingView, it was observed that the decline in Bitcoin’s price became more prominent as the market opened on Wall Street.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) dipped to a recent minimum below $97,300 and had dropped approximately 1.2% in value during that specific moment in time.

The journey to reach the significant six-digit figure was halted, with traders blocking Bitcoin’s advance and preventing its value from increasing further. This pattern often occurs near crucial psychological thresholds in Bitcoin trading.

Bitcoin 4-hour RSI hints at bullish comeback

Some people are speculating about where a possible significant drop in price might stop, as well-known trader Crypto Chase predicts that it could reach around $90,000 under his “ideal” or preferred forecast.

Fellow trader CJ had a higher target focused on the mid-$90,000 range.

Meanwhile, trader Roman pointed out some optimistic bullish discrepancies appearing on the 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI), which could indicate a potential shift in the trend moving upward.

This fell 10 points on the day, dipping below the key 70 “overbought” level.

On this particular day, he informed his X followers that there appear to be large divergences (divs) between the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). He suggested that due to these divs, we might expect the existing trend to carry on.

“I think we break 100k today or tomorrow as this entire trend looks very strong.”
