According to CoinStats, the bulls dominated the bears on the last day of the week.

BTC/USD
Bitcoin (BTC) rate has increased by 0.5% in the past 24 hours.

On the hourly chart, BTC price is closer to resistance than support, so it is more bullish than bearish.
If the buyer pressure continues, we could see a breakout of the level, after which the $88,500 zone could be tested. Such a scenario will be relevant until tomorrow.

On larger time frames, neither side is in the lead as the rates of the major cryptocurrencies are far from their key levels. Due to low volume, the likely scenario is for the stock to trade sideways around the current price next week.

The situation is similar in the medium term. Traders are unlikely to see any sharp moves in the first few days of 2026 as neither the bulls nor the bears have the upper hand.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $87,924.
