While the move has shaken weak hands, price is now approaching a critical retest zone that could determine whether this dip is merely a shakeout or the start of a deeper correction. How BTC reacts here will likely set the tone for the next directional move.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-1\">Bitcoin Slides to $90.6K As Selling Pressure Returns<\/h2>\n<p><span>According to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/status\/2013534133738185143\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span>update<\/span><\/a><span> by Lennaert Snyder, Bitcoin has extended its downside move, dumping toward the $90,623 level. The latest decline suggests increasing near-term weakness, with expectations that the US market opening could add further pressure and keep<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/btc\/bitcoin-price-surges-92k\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span> sentiment<\/span><\/a><span> cautious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin-volatility-goes-down-btc-records-calmest-year-in-history\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>volatility<\/span><\/a><span>, Snyder emphasizes the importance of patience in such conditions, waiting for clear triggers, especially as the market navigates a fragile structure after the recent sell-off. On the bullish side, a potential scalp setup emerges if BTC manages to break the M15 market structure by reclaiming the $91,265 level. Should this occur, the initial upside target is located near the $93,377 resistance, with the monthly high serving as the ultimate objective if momentum continues to build.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_877193\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-877193\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Lennaert-Snyder-1.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C281\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"281\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-877193\">BTC\u2019s potential for an upsurge appears high | Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/status\/2013534133738185143\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Chart from Lennaert Snyder on X<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span>From a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-bulllish-bearish-scenarios\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>bearish<\/span><\/a><span> perspective, current prices are considered too low to aggressively pursue shorts. Instead, attention shifts to a possible retest of the $93,000 resistance zone, where short positions would only be considered after clear confirmation of rejection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Looking ahead, a clean reclaim of the $93,377 resistance would signal continuation to the upside and reopen the path toward the monthly highs. However, if no bullish reversal materializes in the near term, Bitcoin may remain range-bound and gradually grind lower through the rest of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-2\">Bitcoin At A Crossroads: Two Scenarios In Play<\/h2>\n<p><span>Ardi <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ArdiNSC\/status\/2013419296458776772?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span>outlined<\/span><\/a><span> two possible scenarios for Bitcoin\u2019s next major move, both centered around the key $94,000 resistance zone. This level remains the main decision point that will determine whether the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/btc\/bitcoin-price-blinks-95k\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>market<\/span><\/a><span> resumes its broader upside trend or rolls over into deeper downside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Path A suggests a bullish outcome, where price pushes back into the $94,000 resistance, breaks through with strong acceptance, and continues higher toward the $100,000+ region. In this scenario, the recent downside move would be seen as a shakeout rather than a trend reversal, clearing weak hands before continuation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, path B points to another potential fakeout into the $94,000 resistance, only to get rejected once again at the top of the range, followed by a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/btc\/bitcoin-price-resists-breakdown-86700\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>breakdown<\/span><\/a><span> below $90,000 and a liquidity sweep toward the $88,000 area before the next meaningful move develops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Both scenarios likely involve a retest of the $94,000 zone. The key difference lies in what happens after that test, whether price acceptance confirms strength, or rejection signals another leg lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/9ClWb8df\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1552\"><figcaption>BTC trading at $91,205 on the 1D chart | Source: BTCUSDT on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/9ClWb8df\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tradingview.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin has come under renewed pressure after sliding toward the $90,600 region, putting short-term sentiment back on edge.
