The post Bitcoin Price Faces a Make-or-Break Moment: Will BTC Rebound to $105k or Slip Below $90k appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Bitcoin price is once again at a critical pivotal zone as the price hovers near the $90,000 zone, a level which acts as a psychological and technical support.

After failing to hold above recent highs, BTC price has entered a consolidation zone between $85k-$95k, reflecting hesitation across the broader crypto market.

While the Bitcoin price hasn’t shown strong directional momentum, the market structure suggests that something bigger is cooking beneath the surface.

At press time, Bitcoin price stayed calm above its 100 day EMA support at $90,550. Its market cap was at $1.8T.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Why Is $85K-$95K So Important?

Bitcoin’s current price range between $85k-$95k shows a clear battle between buyers and sellers. Bulls are defending the $85-$90k support zone, while sellers continue to cap upside near $95k. 

As long as BTC remains trapped between these levels, further consolidation could be seen ahead.

However, if Bitcoin price loses the $90k support zone, a retracement toward $80k or even $70k could be seen ahead. On the other hand, a strong bounce from this zone could reignite bullish momentum.

BTC price

Despite price consolidation, technical indicators are slowly improving. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has started moving upward on a weekly timeframe and may post a crossover ahead.

Furthermore, BTC price stays close to the trendline support, if momentum strengthens BTC could attempt a rebound toward $100k-$105k in the near term.

BTC liquidation heatmap

Adding to the bullish narrative, BTC’s liquidation map shows that nearly $1.5 billion worth of BTC short positions could be wiped out if Bitcoin rallies above the $95k mark.

This means a minor upward move could force short sellers to cover their positions, triggering a massive short squeeze. This setup may increase the chance of a rapid breakout.

Final Takeaway

Amidst the battle between the bulls and bears, Bitcoin price has been stuck in a waiting phase. However, BTC appears to be preparing for its next major price swing.

For now patience remains key, because when BTC price breaks any side of this range, the move could be fast and decisive.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
