Bitcoin Eyes $155K Breakout After Potential $83K Retest

Bitcoin Technicals Signal $83K ‘Bear Trap’ Before $155K Breakout; BTC Inflows Hit $732 Billion

Last Updated:
Bitcoin price chart showing Elliot Wave pattern with a dip to $83k followed by a surge to $155k.
  • The Setup: Technical analysis suggests a potential retest of $83k to complete a “Wave 4” correction before launching to $155k.
  • The Floor: Glassnode reports a record $732 billion in new capital inflows this cycle, creating a massive liquidity floor.
  • The Trigger: A breakout above $103k is required to confirm the “Wave 5” expansion is underway.

Bitcoin (BTC) is initiating a high-stakes technical standoff above the $93,000 level, with market structure suggesting one final liquidity flush could precede a parabolic run to $155,000. While short-term friction persists, forensic on-chain data confirms that this cycle has attracted more capital than all previous crypto bull markets combined.

Analyst TARA’s chart shows persistent friction near $91.2k, the 0.236 Fib resistance. Until price holds above this level strongly, she argues that a drop to $83.6k–$83.3k is likely. At the time of writing, BTC trades at $93k.

According to the analyst, the $91.2k price level is very important and represents the area BTC narrowly defended during its prior pullback.

A December Breakout

TARA’s wave count indicates an initial price increase toward the .5 resistance and 1.618 extension near $103k. From there, she expects a shallow Wave 4 pullback, followed by Wave 5 extension toward $110k.

She estimates that this five‑wave structure will play out through December and finally result in a completed macro Wave 1 that could ultimately carry Bitcoin toward $155.6k.

TARA’s chart shows multiple Fibonacci confluences cluster between $90k and $103k. RSI remains muted as investors wait for a bullish confirmation before going all-in.

Swissblock added that every major liquidity breakdown over the past two years preceded multi‑week recoveries. With liquidity stabilizing, they view a bottom above $80.5k as increasingly secure.

Their model states that if liquidity turns upward, a recovery window remains open through mid‑December, similar to TARA’s predictions. 

On the other hand, Glassnode reported that Bitcoin has drawn in more than $732 billion in new capital this cycle, surpassing all prior cycles combined. BTC’s 690% price surge has outperformed Ethereum and the broader altcoin market.

Spot volumes now range between $8 billion and $22 billion per day which confirms deeper liquidity. Glassnode also noted the expansion of real‑world assets on-chain, rising from $7 billion to $24 billion in a year.

As per analysts, December could deliver the breakout investors are waiting for once BTC breaks out above $103k and aims for $110k, ultimately completing a larger five‑wave expansion that targets $155k.
