This event comes with a light at the end of the tunnel, though: <strong>Bitcoin may be primed to move higher once again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several key reasons for this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bitcoin is at technical support levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hidden bullish divergence is spotted on the 4H timeframe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Funding rate has been reset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Support on Bitcoin and Hidden Bullish Divergence Spotted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s decline brought it to the Daily EMA-20 level, a reliable support zone over the past week. Additionally, the price has tapped into a key 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at <strong>$95,660.45<\/strong>, further increasing the likelihood of a rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the 4-hour chart, a hidden bullish divergence has formed following this recent price drop. Hidden bullish divergences are signals of potential bullish continuation, which support the case for Bitcoin to make a price recovery even after this recent sharp decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/COTD-24.12.11-TA.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/COTD-24.12.11-TA.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/COTD-24.12.11-TA-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/COTD-24.12.11-TA-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/COTD-24.12.11-TA-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/COTD-24.12.11-TA-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If Bitcoin resumes its upward momentum, it could potentially retest its previous all-time high of <strong>$104,009<\/strong>, or even aim for new highs.
