Short-term traders were likely locking in gains as BTC has climbed nearly 12% from its December lows near $84,500.<\/p>\n<p>Today, BTC price also faced pressure from massive liquidations that tend to accelerate downside moves. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/BTC\/futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Data<\/a> from CoinGlass shows that nearly $441.5 million worth of positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with $288.02 million coming from long positions.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>When long positions get liquidated, traders\u2019 positions are automatically closed by the exchange, which in turn tends to intensify selling pressure and push prices lower in a short span of time.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the bearish pressure, institutional traders have once again moved away from the market just days after BlackRock\u2019s IBIT recorded the largest inflows in over 3 months. The 12-spot Bitcoin ETFs have now shifted back to net outflows, shedding $243 million over the past day, data compiled by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-btc-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SoSoValue<\/a> show.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bitcoin\u2019s quick recovery above $92,000 suggests that the underlying market structure remains resilient. The fact that the Crypto Fear and Greed Index has stabilized at a neutral 49 indicates that the recent dip functioned more as a necessary liquidity reset rather than a fear-driven sell-off.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BTC price analysis<\/h1>\n<p>On the daily chart, Bitcoin has been forming a double bottom pattern, a bullish reversal formation that historically precedes short-term rallies once confirmed.\u00a0 At press time, Bitcoin had failed to sustain its move past the pattern\u2019s $94,480 neckline, resulting in a minor rejection.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">BTC price has formed a double bottom pattern on the daily chart \u2014 Jan. 7 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, technical indicators, notably the Aroon Up, remain high at 85.71%, while the MACD lines have moved above the zero line and are pointing upward, signaling underlying strength.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The MACD lines, which have moved above the zero line and are pointed upwards, also hint that there is underlying bullish strength supporting the price action.<\/p>\n<p>A successful breakout could see bulls push to reclaim the $99,000 area. Conversely, if Bitcoin fails to clear the $94,400 resistance, it could trigger a retracement toward the $85,000 to $88,000 zone, which served as an important support level during the December correction.<\/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.
