Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin’s Tug-of-War Between Bulls and Bears: Crucial Levels Challenge Market Resilience
- Bitcoin faces a bull-bear standoff as Fed Chair Powell rejects a December rate cut, intensifying technical and macroeconomic uncertainty. - Price hovers near $111,000, clinging to the 200-day SMA but remaining below bearish Ichimoku cloud levels with key support/resistance at $109,600-$115,500. - Strengthening U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields amplify downside risks, while Deribit put options signal 4-5% volatility premium for sharp corrections. - Seasonal patterns show 65.3% recovery from yearly lo
Bitcoin’s price direction is under close observation as technical signals and investor sentiment diverge after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell dismissed the possibility of a rate cut in December. The digital asset, now valued at $111,000, is experiencing a struggle between short-term downward forces and underlying long-term optimism, according to a

Broader economic factors are also influencing market sentiment. The U.S. dollar index has crossed above its 50- and 100-day SMAs, indicating ongoing strength in the dollar, which often puts pressure on riskier assets like Bitcoin, as highlighted by CoinDesk. At the same time, the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed back above 4%, a development that tends to reinforce the dollar’s dominance and increase downside risks for cryptocurrencies. These trends are evident in Deribit’s Bitcoin put options, which are trading at a 4%-5% volatility premium, reflecting increased concern over a potential sharp decline.
Seasonal trends further complicate the picture. Historical figures from Investtech reveal that Bitcoin has climbed 65.3% from its lowest point of the year but still sits 9.23% below its highest mark. While the long-term outlook for Bitcoin remains robust, persistent weakness below the Ichimoku cloud could lead to a drop beneath the $100,000 psychological level—a scenario that occurred in February when prices fell to $75,000.
At present, investors are encouraged to remain cautious. A clear move above $116,000—the top of the Ichimoku cloud—could revive bullish sentiment, while a prolonged dip below the 200-day SMA might trigger renewed bearishness. “The market is essentially waiting for a significant event to break the current deadlock,” said Omkar Godbole, a Chartered Market Technician at CoinDesk.
