What is the ultimate suspense for Bitcoin's 17th anniversary after plummeting from 126,000?
BTC celebrates its 17th anniversary in three days: Is a birthday rally imminent?
BTC to mark its 17th anniversary: Market anticipates "anniversary celebration rally" before the historical milestone
On January 3, 2026, BTC will celebrate its 17th birthday. Since Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first block on January 3, 2009, BTC has grown to become one of the most notable assets over the past fifteen years.
Since 2025, the cryptocurrency market has been generally strong. Against the backdrop of changing policy environments, BTC's price once hit a historical high of approximately $126,000 in early October, followed by a significant correction and market liquidation. Recently, signs of stabilization have appeared.
According to market data, BTC's price has recently shown a slight rebound, attempting to regain the $90,000 level. Some analysts believe this trend may be related to the approaching New Year and the upcoming "17th anniversary," with the market closely watching for a potential "anniversary rally."
Currently, BTC's movement near the $90,000 key level will serve as an important window to observe market sentiment and momentum in the short term. As this is a commemorative milestone, market fluctuations and directional choices around this time are worth investors' attention.
