Key Price Levels to Watch
Other analysts are focused on how high Bitcoin price could rise during this year’s Thanksgiving holiday, as it traded 4% below its all-time high close of over $95,000, reached on November 28, 2024. Bitcoin needs to regain $100,000 to $105,000 to avoid a possible crash below $80,000. According to on-chain data provider Glassnode, Bitcoin remains structurally “fragile” after losing its 50-week moving average and key cost support.

Market Analysis and Predictions
Analyst Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, noted that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is always bullish, followed by a bearish Thursday. However, bearish Bitcoin mining data could be a counter signal encouraging a point BTC rally. Traders are hoping that Bitcoin will continue rising into the holidays, despite the uncertainty in interest rate policy, inflation expectations, and stress in BTC derivatives.
