Matrixport: Bitcoin maintains a sideways pattern, analysts recommend patiently waiting for directional signals

ChainCatcher message, Matrixport’s daily analysis states that Bitcoin is currently maintaining a consolidation trend, with prices fluctuating around $88,528. Although the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in January and recent liquidity injections have sent some dovish signals, the overall policy tone remains neutral, making it unlikely to trigger significant reallocation adjustments by institutional investors in the short term. Independent analyst Markus Thielen pointed out that as Christmas approaches, Bitcoin’s implied volatility is likely to decline, institutional funds tend to stay on the sidelines, and combined with the current cycle’s weak retail participation, the market’s recovery potential is limited. Notably, since October 10, Bitcoin has remained in a downward structure overall, but there may be a phase reversal opportunity in January. Investors are advised to remain patient and wait for clearer directional signals.
