## Crypto Market Lags On Xmas

Over $138 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, according to Coinglass, with the majority of it coming from long liquidations.

Bitcoin's open interest fell 0.94% in the last 24 hours as short positions for the leading cryptocurrency exceeded longs, according to the Long/Short ratio.

The "Extreme Fear" sentiment persisted in the market, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The market witnessed a Santa rally on Christmas Eve as the **S&P 500** closed at a new record high on Wednesday, while the **Dow Jones Industrial Average** and the tech-focused **Nasdaq Composite** also closed higher.

The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Exchange were closed Thursday for Christmas and will resume regular trading on Friday.

## What’s Next For Bitcoin?

**Michaël van de Poppe,** a widely followed cryptocurrency commentator, expected Bitcoin to revisit $90,000 or higher during the weekend or next week.

"I think commodities are overdue and liquidity will move elsewhere + loosening conditions on the \[macroeconomic\] side of this world," the analyst added.

> I'll continue to update the same chart.

> As you can see, the crucial resistance zone at $90,000 wasn't possible to break upwards.  
>   
> Therefore, #Bitcoin had to come back down again to find enough buy pressure on crucial levels: $86,500.

> That held.

**Ted Pillows,** an angel investor and cryptocurrency market observer, said that Bitcoin's daily close above the $89,500 level will drive the asset toward the $100,000 level.

Conversely, a daily close below $85,000 risks pulling Bitcoin below $80,000, the analyst projected.

> $BTC decision time is very close.  
>   
> A daily close above the $89,500 level will trigger a rally towards the $100,000 level.  
>   
> A daily close below the $85,000 level will dump BTC below the $80,000 zone. pic.twitter.com/PozqV2lUkd
