Bitcoin's first full trading week of 2026 tells a story of sideways momentum. The leading cryptocurrency has been holding steady around the $90,000 mark, showing little conviction either direction. Year-over-year, we're down roughly 2% — not exactly a collapse, but definitely not the fireworks some might've expected heading into the new year. The price action suggests we're in a consolidation zone. Whether this becomes a springboard for the next leg up or a warning sign depends on what happens at key support and resistance levels in the coming weeks. Traders should keep an eye on whether Bitcoin can establish higher lows or if we're facing a test of lower levels.

90,000 yuan has been sideways for so long, and you really think highly of yourself. I've been watching K-lines all week while raising three kids and haven't had a good meal. Luckily, I built a solid foundation from mining in earlier years.

90,000 yuan has been sideways for so long, what else can it go up?

90,000 dollars just laid flat, I really can't see the direction in this wave.
