According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin (BTC) continues to show bullish signals as its price reaches new two-month highs near $98,000. Leading indicators suggest a continuation of this upward trend, marking an improvement in the overall price environment since early October. Despite predictions that 2026 may be a unique bear market year, current data from TradingView highlights Bitcoin's relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) as classic reversal signals. The RSI remains a key indicator for Bitcoin bulls, showing renewed strength alongside MACD. On hourly timeframes, a hidden bullish divergence is evident, where the RSI makes a lower low while the price achieves a higher low. This pattern was similarly observed last week on the four-hour chart as BTC/USD tested the $90,000 support level. Although a $105,000 BTC price target was initially suggested, the RSI's current position above 50 indicates the emergence of a new uptrend, according to trader Jelle. Zooming out, Bitcoin investor and commentator Isiah anticipates a unique BTC price event. He suggests that if Bitcoin is entering a new bear market, reclaiming the 50-week simple moving average (SMA) will be unprecedented. He noted that Bitcoin has never reclaimed the 50-week moving average in a bear market year, currently positioned at 101k. This potential reclaim could signify a truly different market condition. Price initially fell below the 50-week SMA at the start of November, with the bull market support band now acting as a key resistance level. Trader Daan Crypto Trades predicts a retest of this support band soon, as it moves downward rapidly while the price attempts to climb higher. This retest is crucial, as whether the price breaks above or is rejected will be pivotal for the coming weeks or months.
