Bitcoin Briefly Tops $90,000 As Analyst Flags $99,000–$102,000 As Key Resistance Zone

On Friday, January 2nd, Bitcoin's price climbed above the $90,000 psychological mark, extending a post–New Year rally in the broader crypto market. However, on-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci argues that BTC must close above the Short-Term Holder Realized Price near $99,000, and ultimately break into the $99,000–$102,000 band, before a sustained bull trend can be confirmed. As of the latest reading, Bitcoin trades around $90,110, up about 2% in 24 hours.
