Bitcoin Hovers at ‘Critical’ Support Level as Analysts Debate Next Move

Bitcoin has traded in a very tight range around the $90,000 level this weekend, with a brief dip below it in late trading on Saturday.

There have been a few possibly manipulated leverage flushes over the past couple of weeks, but no clear direction for the asset. Bitcoin is at a “critical on-chain support” level, observed Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson on Saturday.

He cited the “Realized Cap Impulse,” which is testing a decisive region, “historically, a zone that often precedes healthy pullbacks,” before cautioning that “demand needs to emerge now.”

A Bearish Consolidation Pattern

“BTC is in a bearish consolidation pattern no matter how you frame it,” said analyst “Colin,” who added that we were “still waiting for BTC to make a decision and choose a direction, but it’s gotta be close.”

The analyst said that a breakdown was the most likely outcome because “the trend tends to continue.”

Meanwhile, Glassnode researcher “CryptoVizArt” said that the current consolidation range is “generating a magnitude of stress comparable to late January 2022, with Relative Unrealized Loss approaching 10% of market cap.”

Is Anyone Bullish?

The majority of analysts were leaning bearish this weekend, but a few maintained hope of a recovery.

“Bitcoin is currently trading extremely correctively,” said analyst “Sykodelic” before adding that there were small pumps, sharp dumps, “hunting liquidity with no true direction.” The market needs to sweep lows at the low $80,000 range before any reversal, they said.

BTC was trading flat on the day at $90,300 at the time of writing, and a Sunday flush, as we’ve seen previously, could be on the cards again today.

Kalshi Jumps to 62% Market Share While Polymarket Eyes $10B Valuation

The post Kalshi Jumps to 62% Market Share While Polymarket Eyes $10B Valuation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fintech 19 September 2025 | 16:03 Event-based trading platforms are no longer niche experiments – they’re emerging as a major arena where finance, crypto, and information converge. After months of subdued activity, volumes are climbing again, and U.S.-regulated Kalshi has unexpectedly taken the lead. Betting on Everything From Rates to Sports Analysts at Bernstein describe prediction markets as a new “interface for information,” where users speculate not only on sports results but also on Federal Reserve decisions, quarterly earnings, and even crypto price moves. This year alone, more than $200 million changed hands on Polymarket contracts linked to the Fed’s recent 25 bps rate cut, while $85 million traded on Kalshi around the same decision. Mainstream brokers like Coinbase and Robinhood are watching closely, with ambitions to capture some of the momentum. With U.S. sports betting already worth tens of billions annually, the overlap is too big to ignore. Against that backdrop, Kalshi has delivered one of its strongest months since the 2024 elections. The platform reports $1.3 billion in trading volume so far in September, accounting for 62% of global prediction market activity. Just a year ago, Kalshi’s share stood at 3%. CEO Tarek Mansour called the growth “remarkable,” noting that the exchange still serves only U.S. clients. Polymarket’s Pushback Its main rival, Polymarket, has logged about $773 million in trades this month. While that trails Kalshi for now, Polymarket has unique advantages: as a crypto-native platform, it has carved out strong global demand and is working toward a formal U.S. relaunch via its acquisition of derivatives exchange QCEX. The two platforms now stand as the clear leaders of the sector, though they embody different philosophies — one regulated from the ground up, the other built around decentralization. Investors Take Notice The boom hasn’t escaped venture capital. Reports suggest…

Bitcoin Lightning Network Capacity Surges to Historic Peak as Exchange Adoption Accelerates

Bitcoin Lightning Network Capacity Surges to Historic Peak as Exchange Adoption Accelerates

The Bitcoin Lightning Network has reached an all-time high in total network capacity, marking a significant milestone for the layer-2 scaling solution designed to enable fast and inexpensive Bitcoin transactions. The surge comes as major cryptocurrency exchanges increasingly integrate Lightning functionality, bringing the technology to millions of users who previously relied solely on slower, more expensive on-chain transactions. This capacity expansion reflects growing confidence in Lightning's reliability and utility after years of development and real-world testing. What began as an experimental protocol discussed primarily among technical enthusiasts has matured into infrastructure that some of the industry's largest platforms now consider essential to their operations.
