Bitcoin's position above its 20-day exponential moving average has provided some relief as we kick off 2026. The stabilization is welcome, but here's the reality—major moving averages still loom overhead, casting uncertainty on conviction building.

The market's holding ground for now, yet significant technical hurdles remain in place. There's room for optimism, sure, but plenty of ground left to cover before traders can feel genuinely confident about the directional bias.

Our latest technical breakdown digs into where Bitcoin stands and what these key levels mean for the next moves.

Wait, are you using this trick again? As long as it's stable above the 20th online, is it true or not?

What are you talking about, the 20-day moving average? Bro, I just want to know when it can break new highs.

Staying above the 20-day moving average? Don't get too excited yet, there's still a bunch of curses stacked above.

It should be pointed out that you bunch of technical analysts are playing the moving average game again. 20-day moving average? 50-day moving average? 200-day moving average? Undoubtedly, these are all trap for retail investors. Let's return to the fundamental thinking of Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper: the value of Bitcoin has never originated from K-line patterns, but from the absolute truth of on-chain data. Another round of "technical breakthrough" narrative is obviously a simplification of market psychology. Listen to me—this is just another manipulation show by the whales.

It stabilized above the 20th, but the real test is still ahead...

According to my analysis, Bitcoin is hovering above the 20-day moving average. It seems stable but is actually just a show. The real key resistance is still overhead. To put it simply, this is currently a technical consolidation phase. Large investors are also watching to see whether it breaks through or pulls back, and nothing is certain. What do on-chain data say? That’s the key point I care about.

The 20-day moving average held, but there's still a pile of resistance levels above... This market really keeps people on edge.
