BTC yearly opens Act As Dominant Resistance zones.

According to the analyst Crypto Rover in a recent post on X, the year-opening price of Bitcoin can indicate the price’s next 12 months’ trend direction. When Bitcoin’s price begins the year above the year’s open, that typically signifies a bullish trend followed by price increases. When Bitcoin’s price is lower than the year’s opening price, it typically results in downward corrective price movements followed by price drops.

Chart Structure Supports the Tweet’s Outlook

The chart from TradingView illustrates the yearly open numbers for Bitcoin from 2020 – 2025; each year appears to have served as a ‘pivot’ for future movements in Bitcoin’s market. The yearly open number for 2020 marked the beginning of Bitcoin’s bull market cycle; 2021 acted as the support level midway through the cycle.

2022 was when Bitcoin received its largest amount of selling pressure, drastically affecting price; 2023 was when Bitcoin began a recovery period from this amount of selling pressure; 2024 acted as support for the coin prior to a price explosion; and now is represented by the resistance area around $130K.

In conclusion, the pattern that’s developing here indicates that the yearly number for 2026 may also indicate yet another turning point in its price direction. In turn, if Bitcoin’s momentum swings to the upside, a breakout toward $110K – will be within range for receiving a reality check.
