- Bitcoin has encountered strong resistance near the $90,000 price level in late December 2025.
- The cryptocurrency has shown small gains over the past month but is down over the last week and year.
- The price decline followed multiple interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which did not boost investor sentiment toward Bitcoin.
- Investors appear to favor safe-haven assets like Gold and silver, which have recently reached new highs.
- Bitcoin’s consolidation near $87,000 to $88,000 continues amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
Bitcoin (BTC) faced notable resistance around the $90,000 threshold on December 22, 2025. The cryptocurrency rose to $89,542 earlier that day but retracted to roughly $88,000 afterward. According to CoinGecko’s Bitcoin data, BTC increased by 0.9% in the last 24 hours and 5.6% over the past month. However, the asset showed declines of 0.9% over the week, 2.5% over 14 days, and an 8.3% drop since December 2024. Price movement in recent months indicates Bitcoin is consolidating within the $87,000-$88,000 range.
Following an all-time high of $126,000 in October 2025, Bitcoin entered a downward trend. Despite October historically being a positive month for cryptocurrencies, the 2025 outlook differed. This sell-off began after the Federal Reserve implemented an interest rate cut in October—a move typically viewed as favorable for markets. The bearish reaction suggests investors did not predict further rate reductions for the year. December saw another rate cut announcement from the Federal Reserve, but Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market remained subdued, impacted by ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
Investors have increasingly directed funds toward traditional safe-haven assets such as gold and silver. Both metals have reached new all-time highs, signaling reduced appetite for riskier holdings like cryptocurrencies. The current market environment reflects this cautious approach.
The Bitcoin market remains uncertain, with potential for change as the year ends. Further developments may influence Bitcoin’s ability to regain the $90,000 price level going into early 2026.
