Bitcoin Seeks $90,000 Resistance Flip Into 2026 Wall Street Open

Cointelegraph
Bitcoin is attempting to break the $90,000 resistance level as TradFi markets reopen, facing potential dips due to a new CME futures gap.

Summary

Bitcoin (BTC) is challenging the $90,000 resistance level as the first Wall Street trading session of 2026 begins. A new downside gap formed on the CME Bitcoin futures market is drawing attention, as prices often move to 'fill' these gaps shortly after futures reopen. Analysts suggest this gap, combined with a cluster of long liquidations near $88,000, could prompt a near-term dip in BTC's price. Meanwhile, gold rebounded after a year-end correction, pushing toward a rematch with its all-time highs, despite Bitcoin being the worst-performing major asset in 2025 while gold was the best.
