Analyst: BTC bottomed in late Dec., poised for short-term rebound

On-chain analyst Willy Woo has suggested that Bitcoin bottomed out in late December of last year, opening up the possibility of a short-term rebound. BeInCrypto, citing Woo's data-driven models, reported that investment inflows into Bitcoin have steadily increased since hitting a low on Dec. 24, 2025. While the overall outlook for 2026 remains cautious due to decreasing liquidity, the report notes that short-term conditions suggest a potential for a modest uptrend in the coming weeks. Woo explained that instances of BTC trading below its production cost have rarely led to panic selling in the past. Instead, miners typically reduce their output and await price increases, creating a low-volume period that serves as a temporary floor. A return to a bull market often occurs when the Bitcoin price climbs back above the cost of mining, a pattern Woo says has repeated in every cycle. Additionally, Woo noted that President Donald Trump's recent move to cap credit card interest rates at 10% could unintentionally drive individuals with low credit scores toward alternative financial systems like Bitcoin.
