Bitcoin in Waiting Mode: Experts Predict a New Surge Toward $100,000
The cryptocurrency market has entered a phase of “heightened anticipation.” After a year filled with events, investors are pausing ahead of new economic signals. According to Vasily Girya, CEO of GIS Mining, Bitcoin currently resembles a compressed spring: trading activity has temporarily declined, while large holders — known as “whales” — have accumulated the highest volume of coins over the past two years.
At present, the market is supported by a strong support zone in the range of $80,000–$84,000. This is a historically significant level that protects the asset from a deep decline.
For active growth to resume, Bitcoin needs to firmly consolidate above $90,000. If the price holds above this level in the near term, the path will open toward a short-term target of $94,500. A breakout above $95,500 could trigger a “domino effect,” pushing the price toward the psychological milestone of $100,000 by the end of January 2026.
Analysts believe that the key driver of the next growth cycle will not come from crypto-related news, but from changes in the U.S. economy. A decisive factor could be a dovish policy stance by the Federal Reserve or new labor market data. Until these signals emerge, the price is likely to fluctuate within a narrow range, testing the determination of buyers.
Despite price volatility, industrial-scale mining continues to grow steadily. Russia maintains its position as the world’s second-largest Bitcoin mining country. For the nation, this sector is becoming strategically important, strengthening financial sovereignty and fostering the development of a new high-tech branch of the economy.
