Bitcoin price predictions include an initial $100,000 target after completion of the Boxing Day options expiry, worth a record $23.7 billion.

Bitcoin printed bullish signals against gold and the dollar while staying below $90,000 as a whale opened multimillion-dollar crypto shorts.

Bitcoin and select altcoins are attempting to start a recovery, but higher levels are expected to attract strong selling by the bears.
