Such a pattern is characterized by two converging trendlines forming a horizontal symmetrical triangle shape, which marks a phase of consolidation before a potential breakout.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bitcoin price has formed a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart \u2014 Dec. 30 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A breakdown from the lower trendline tends to lead to further downside, while a breakout from the upper side has historically been followed by strong rallies.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, BTC price was trading closer to the lower trendline, suggesting the asset is approaching a potential make-or-break zone.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum indicators, while having shifted slightly to the positive, remain near neutral thresholds. This points to a possible consolidation phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As such, renewed institutional inflows could serve as the catalyst necessary for a structural recovery.<\/p>\n<p>For now, traders will be closely watching the $86,000 psychological support level, as a drop below that could trigger a fall to its November low at $82,175.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, $91,500, which closely aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level drawn from its October high to November low, will be the key resistance area to monitor.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
