Bitcoin has confirmed its strength after breaking above the $94,200 resistance level and approaching the 50-week EMA at $97,200 for the first time in 3 months.
This bullish move has shifted the Bitcoin price prediction towards a breakout of $100,000 before the end of January.
Bitcoin VDD Indicator Shows Long-Term Holders Not Selling
According to on-chain insights shared by Carmelo Alemán, a verified blockchain analyst at CryptoQuant, Bitcoin’s Value Days Destroyed (VDD) indicator, which provides a direct readout of long-term holder behavior, suggests that the recent rally still has room to continue.
The VDD metric calculates the number of days that bitcoins remained idle before being moved, weighted by the amount transferred.
Currently, VDD stands at approximately 0.53 in January 2026, a historically low level, suggesting that the bitcoins being transferred are relatively young, meaning older coins remain intact.
In practice, this means that long-term holders do not sell as the price rises.
“This behavior reinforces the quality of the bullish movement, since the increase in prices is not accompanied by a distribution by the most experienced capital in the market,” Alemán explained.
Historically, when the price of Bitcoin rises while the VDD remains low, the market tends to be in a healthy expansion phase, where demand absorbs available supply without generating structural selling pressure.
“In this context, the break above resistance and continued bullish momentum are firmly supported by the inactivity of long-term holders, reinforcing the idea that the current move is driven by real market strength rather than a fragile rebound driven by short-term speculation.” added the analyst.
A sustained rise in VDD would indicate a long-term distribution of holders that could see Bitcoin challenge the bears’ last defense at $100,000.
Bitcoin Price Prediction: Weekly Chart Shows Double Bottom Formation
Cryptonews analysts recently explained that Bitcoin could see a rally, taking the price well above the psychological level of $100,000, and this aligns with the technical structure on the weekly timeframe.
The 1W Bitcoin chart shows price stabilization after a pronounced corrective phase, with the structure still leaning bullish despite the recent volatility.
BTC is trading around $95,000, having recovered from the $86,300 region, which aligns closely with the 100-week moving average and marks a critical high-low zone.
The clear double bottom formation around this area suggests strong demand absorption and reinforces the idea that long-term buyers are pulling back rather than capitulating.
From a trend perspective, Bitcoin remains above the 200-week moving average near $68,000, preserving the macro structure of the bull market. However, the price is currently trading below 20 and 50 week moving averagesclustered around the $97,600-$98,200 area.
This zone now acts as immediate dynamic resistance, and a decisive weekly close above it would provide early confirmation that bullish momentum is returning.
The horizontal resistance bands of $103,650 and $111,600 represent the most important bullish levels.
These zones previously acted as major distribution and rejection areas, making them logical breakout targets if momentum accelerates.
A break above $98,000 would likely shift sentiment decisively bullish, opening avenues for a move towards $103,000 initially, and potentially $111,000 if volume and momentum expand.
