<p>Onchain data analytics platform CryptoQuant has <a href="https://x.com/cryptoquant_com/status/2010621262377214028" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">analyzed</a> the recent BTC price rally using the STH-SOPR metric.

<p>Crypto analyst known as CryptoMe on X interpreted the recent STH-SOPR behavior as a potential early bullish sign. The analyst noted that the STH-SOPR value dipped below the key threshold of 1.0 on October 10. This drop suggested that short-term holders began selling Bitcoin at a loss on average.</p>
<p>CryptoMe explained that during prolonged bearish periods, STH-SOPR tends to stay below 1.0. This reflects ongoing selling pressure and a lack of confidence among short-term players.</p>
<p>However, after months of staying below 1.0, the STH-SOPR made its first attempt last week to escape upward above 1.0. Notably, STH-SOPR stays above 1.0, with the line acting as “support.”</p>
<p>Here, short-term holders sell at profits, but the overall buying momentum keeps the metric elevated. This signals sustained optimism and inflows.</p>
<p>CryptoMe interpreted the breakout as a potential reversal from a bearish to a bullish trend. The analyst thinks this move could attract more buyers and kickstart a Bitcoin price rally.</p>

<p>Another market analyst and trader, Mister Crypto, has also shared a bullish prediction for Bitcoin price. Mister Crypto shared a Bitcoin chart that showed the digital asset is consolidating in a tight range. Therefore, the analyst claimed Bitcoin is building pressure for a major directional move upward this week.</p>
<p>“A massive breakout is coming,” says Mister Crypto. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $90,758, demonstrating a 0.16% increase over the past 24 hours.</p>
<p>After dipping below $86,000 for weeks, <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/01/10/bitcoin-price-holds-steady-above-90k-despite-institutional-outflows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC price gradually moved to $90,000</a> last week. In today’s morning trade, BTC climbed higher to around $92,000 before dropping to the current levels.</p>

<p>The daily trading volume also increased by over 142% to $29.2 billion, indicating investors’ interest in accumulating the leading coin.</p>
<p>However, the recent&nbsp; BTC price volatility follows a correction from the 2025 all-time high of around $126,000 in October. That’s in addition to persistent <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/01/10/weak-us-jobs-report-coincides-with-1b-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">outflows from the spot BTC exchange-traded fund</a> (ETF). Thus, resumption of inflows into the ETFs could signal confidence and eventually lead to higher prices.</p>
<p>Recently, a senior analyst at asset manager VanEck predicted that the Bitcoin price could reach $2.9 million by 2050. His forecast is based on Bitcoin’s movement beyond its role as a speculative asset and into global finance.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-imminent-bitcoin-bid-in-2026"><strong>Imminent Bitcoin Bid in 2026</strong></h2>
<p>Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher argued that BTC needs to catch a bid this year. The analyst framed 2026 as a make-or-break year for Bitcoin price despite underperforming relative to traditional assets in recent months.</p>
<p>Deutscher added that BTC holders might need to question their allocation if the coin does not rally meaningfully against ideal macro backdrops. His comment is in response to a recent post from Will Clemente.</p>

<p>Clemente argued that the current macro environment is tailor-made for Bitcoin’s original thesis as “digital gold”. He pointed out that U.S. President Donald Trump has opened a criminal investigation against <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2025/09/18/jerome-powell-speech-crypto-market-future-trends-challenges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell</a>. It challenges central bank independence, fueling inflation fears.</p>
<p>In addition, Gold and Silver are surging in early 2026, driven by central banks accelerating reserve diversification. Clemente added that Sovereigns are hedging against fiat risks, currency instability, and geopolitical uncertainty.</p>
<p>Summarily, traders are watching for BTC to recover fully amid the Fed drama, with some expecting a bid on the news.</p>
