Bitcoin (BTC) Testing Key Support — Could This Pattern Trigger an Bounce Back?

Date: Sat, Dec 13, 2025 | 04:10 AM GMT

The broader cryptocurrency market has been experiencing choppy price action over the past several weeks, a phase that began after the sharp sell-off on October 10. That correction dragged Bitcoin (BTC) from sub-$120,000 levels down toward the current $90,000 zone. Over the last 30 days alone, BTC has declined by nearly 11%, keeping market sentiment cautious.

However, while price weakness dominates headlines, the technical chart is beginning to tell a more nuanced story — one that may favor a rebound scenario if buyers continue to defend a critical support area.

Ascending Triangle Pattern in Play?

Despite growing bearish commentary around patterns such as bear flags and rising wedges, the 4-hour BTC chart is also carving out a structure that leans bullish. Price action is forming an ascending triangle, a pattern typically associated with continuation moves once resistance is cleared.

This structure is defined by a rising trendline that has consistently supported higher lows, while BTC repeatedly tests horizontal resistance near the $94,500 region. This morning’s dip pushed BTC down toward $89,504, precisely where the rising trendline comes into play. The market responded with buying interest, suggesting that bulls are still actively defending this zone.

As long as BTC continues to respect this ascending support, the integrity of the pattern remains intact, keeping the door open for a recovery attempt.

What the Chart Signals Next

The $89,000–$90,000 region now stands as the most important level to watch. Holding above this zone increases the probability of another push toward $94,500, which remains the primary resistance area. Adding to its importance, the 250-period moving average sits just above at around $94,579, strengthening this barrier.

A decisive breakout above both the horizontal resistance and the 250 MA would confirm the ascending triangle breakout. Such a move could shift momentum firmly back in favor of the bulls.

Based on the measured move projection of the triangle, a confirmed breakout points toward a potential upside target near $108,000, aligning with the dotted extension zone marked on the chart. This represents roughly a 19% upside from current price levels.

For now, BTC remains at a pivotal moment. As long as the rising trendline continues to hold and higher lows remain intact, the broader technical setup favors a bounce rather than a deeper breakdown.
