The Bitcoin price has recovered above $97,000, providing a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto. Despite this development, BTC tradersstill look apprehensive as their strategy suggests they are still bearish on the current price action.  Bitcoin Traders Turn Bearish Following Price Recovery


In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that Bitcoin traders have turned bearish despite the price recoveryabove $97,000. The crypto analyst mentioned that the percentage of traders on Binance betting BTC will rise has declined from 66.35% to 55.22% over the past 24 hours.  Related Reading Analyst Says Dogecoin Has Entered Another Bull Cycle, Puts Price Above $20 1 day ago Source: X


This development is significant as these Binance tradershave a track record of being right most of the time. While most traders (55.22%) are still longing BTC, the decline in those betting on a rise suggests that there is the possibility that the recent price recovery is just a relief bounce and not a bullish reversal. 


The Bitcoin price has recovered above $97,000 after dropping to below $90,000 two days ago. This recent rally could pave the way for the flagship crypto to reclaim the psychological $100,000 price level. Crypto analyst Jelle is confident that this could happen soon, as he stated that a price breakout above $97,000could lead to new highs for Bitcoin. 


However, there is still a lot of market uncertainty, which could explain why some of these Bitcoin traders are choosing not to bet on a further rally despite the recent price recovery. Recent macro data have suggested that the Federal Reserveis unlikely to implement as many quantitative easing (QE) policies as compared to last year. 


This is bearish for the Bitcoin price since investors could become more skeptical about investing in this risk asset. On the other hand, Donald Trump’s incoming administration provides some optimism for market participants since the US president-elect has promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which would lead to greater adoption of BTC.  BTC’s Market Structure Has Changed


Crypto analyst Trader Tardigradealso provided a bullish outlook for the Bitcoin price. In an X post, he stated that Bitcoin has shifted the market structure from a downtrend to an uptrend. He explained that when BTC was in a downtrend with lower highs and lower lows, it created an equal high, signaling a “change of character.” Related Reading Analyst Who Predicted Bitcoin Price Crash To $89,000 Reveals Where BTC Is Headed Next 1 day ago Source: X


Now, Bitcoin has broken through the resistance to form a higher high. According to Trader Tardigrade, if BTC maintains a higher low at the support/ resistance flip level of $96,000, it could start the bull runagain. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the flagship crypto could reclaim $100,000 and then rally to new highs. 


At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $97,300, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to datafrom CoinMarketCap.  BTC price faces resistance above $97,000 | Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview.com Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
