The Bitcoin price has slumped 1.5% in the last 24 hours to trade at $95,883 as of 7:20 a.m . EST on a 17% pump in trading volume to $54 billion.
The drop in the BTC price comes despite Japanese investment firm Metaplanet making its largest-ever Bitcoin purchase on December 23, acquiring 619.7 BTC for nearly $60 million at around $96,000 per Bitcoin. This purchase nearly quadrupled its previous record of 159.7 BTC in October.

Bitcoin Price Dips, Consolidation Hints at $100K Retest
Bitcoin is currently trading at $95,826, showing a slight dip of $540.37 (-0.57%). This small pullback might be part of a consolidation phase, potentially setting up a more significant move soon. Key support lies at $93,428, aligning with the steadily rising 50-day Moving Average (SMA), which has been acting as a reliable dynamic support.
Below that, the 200-day SMA at $70,444 offers another solid safety net, highlighting Bitcoin’s strong long-term bullish trend. Adding to this positive outlook, the Golden Cross in mid-November, where the 50-day SMA crossed above the 200-day SMA, is often seen as a sign of upcoming sustained rallies.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 57.95, indicating moderate bullish energy with room to climb before hitting overbought levels above 70. The RSI signal line near 46.24 hints at a possible upward crossover, pointing to a bullish reversal soon.
The chart also shows a rounded bottom pattern from September to October, indicating a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. This could mark a critical reversal zone for Bitcoin to retest the $100,000 psychological level.
If it clears this hurdle, the next target could be $120,000 in the medium term. However, if Bitcoin falls below the $93,428 support, it could see a deeper correction, with the 200-day SMA at $70,444 likely acting as the next major support.
