BTC/USD outlook: Bitcoin hits series of new record highs on the way towards 90K target

BTC/USD

Bitcoin keeps firm tone and rose to new record high above 82K early Monday, after advancing almost 5% previous day, when psychological 80K barrier was taken out.

It received fresh boost from euphoria surrounding Trump’s election victory, following his campaign‘s crypto favoring promises.

Continuation of post-election rally after a brief consolidation signal that market digested the news which further firmed bullish stance.

Bulls are currently running on extended third wave of five-wave cycle from Sep 7 low (52563) which rose above FE 161.8% (81210), eyeing immediate target at 83228 (FE 176.4%), with further acceleration to bring in focus 86489 (FE 200%) and unmask psychological 90K barrier.

Meanwhile, corrective actions should be anticipated as daily studies are overbought and indicators turned sideways (including stretched 14-d momentum).

Dips are likely to be limited and provide better levels to re-join strong bullish market.

Broken 80K support (which contained today’s action) reverted to initial support, followed by rising 5DMA (78258) and broken resistance of larger bull-channel (75140), rising 10DMA (74170) and former top of Oct 29 (73615) where dips should find firmer ground.

Res: 83228; 84000; 85000; 86489.
Sup: 81170; 80000; 78258; 75140.

Ripple (XRP) is trading at $1.06 on Monday, maintaining its position within a broader bearish trend. The token’s technical outlook continues to deteriorate, pressured by declining retail participation. Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.
Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment
The cryptocurrency market remains weak on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling toward the nearest $62,000.

Risk appetite remains subdued, as the Fear & Greed Index holds steady at 28, deep within Fear territory.
The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes
Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities
The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?
Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line
Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
