Bitcoin analysts are repeating their close week to measure Bitcoin price trajectory next week, as traditional and crypto markets lack direction amid a mix of global war horrors that ease inflation concerns.
Bitcoin (BTC) prices could be seen more downside next week unless they can close a week beyond the $85,000 psychological mark, according to Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research.
“At the FOMC meeting and Bitcoin relief rally after the fall in CPI readings, analysts are above $85,000, making it important to resume the upward momentum,” Lee told Cointelegraph, adding:
“Beyond this level, it prevents signal strength from dropping at $76,000, but $87,000 offers even clearer bullish confirmations. Macro factors such as stable speeds and cooling inflation support risk assets are critical at the end of Sunday.”

Bitcoin prices lack momentum, up just 0.9% over the past week, according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro Data. The unfortunate weekly close ones risk revisiting at the previous week's low price of $76,600.

Markets need to “be careful” to accumulation of long-term holders: analysts
Bitcoin could experience short-term shortcomings, but the relief rally after the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting was a positive sign for market participants, according to Enmanuel Cardozo, a market analyst for the Brickken Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform.
Instead of short-term fluctuations, investors need to pay attention to the long-term accumulation of Bitcoin holders to measure BTC trends, analysts told Cointelegraph, adding:
“Long-term holders, as we saw in the data on the chain, continue to quietly build up the accumulation by these holders because dips are something we should pay attention to.”
Long-term holders resumed their Bitcoin accumulation in early February and have since purchased more than $21 billion in Bitcoin.
