Bitcoin Price Prediction: $92.5K Holds as 173K Wallet Bug Alert Shakes Sentiment

Bitcoin is trading near $92,520, down 1.29% on the day, as traders balance short-term technical hesitation with fresh network-level headlines. Despite a $55 bn 24-hour trading volume and a market capitalization of $1.85 tn, price action has slowed after failing to reclaim the mid-$90,000s, leaving Bitcoin at a technically sensitive inflection point.

Bitcoin Core v30 Bug Raises User Caution, Not Panic

Early Tuesday, the Bitcoin Core Project issued a high-visibility warning about a wallet migration bug affecting Bitcoin Core versions 30.0 and 30.1, drawing over 170,000 views within hours.

Under rare conditions, migrating legacy wallets could delete wallet files on the same node, potentially resulting in permanent fund loss if backups are missing.

Developers confirmed that a fix will arrive in Bitcoin Core v30.2, urging users to avoid legacy wallet migrations in the meantime.

Crucially, the issue does not affect the Bitcoin network, consensus, or transaction processing. Still, it has injected a layer of caution into sentiment, particularly among long-term holders and node operators.

What’s affected and what’s not:

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Price Slips Below $94K as Resistance Holds

On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin price prediction remains bullish as BTC remains capped beneath the $94,000–$95,000 resistance band, where a triple-top structure has begun to take shape.

The broader pattern still resembles a descending wedge, with higher lows forming above the December bottom near $80,500. However, upside momentum has cooled.

RSI has rolled over toward the 50 zone, signaling consolidation rather than trend acceleration. Candlesticks have also shifted, with smaller bodies and upper wicks replacing the strong bullish closes seen earlier this month, highlighting hesitation near resistance.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Key Levels That Could Decide the Next Move

Technically, Bitcoin is at a crossroads. A confirmed break and close above $94,500 would invalidate the triple-top risk and open a path toward $97,300, followed by $100,700, where long-term structure converges.

Failure to reclaim that zone keeps downside risks alive toward $90,900, with stronger demand expected near $87,000–$88,000.

From a trading perspective, patience remains the edge. Breakout traders will want confirmation above $95,000, while dip buyers may look for stability above $90,000 with defined risk.

As volatility compresses and technical structure tightens, Bitcoin appears to be coiling, not breaking, keeping the longer-term bullish narrative intact as the next catalyst approaches.

Maxi Doge: A Meme Coin Built Around Community and Competition

Maxi Doge is gaining traction as one of the more active meme coin presales this year, combining bold branding with community-driven incentives. The project has already raised more than $4.4 million, placing it among the stronger early performers in the meme token category.

Unlike typical dog-themed tokens that rely purely on social buzz, Maxi Doge leans into engagement. The project runs regular ROI competitions, community challenges, and events designed to keep participation high throughout the presale phase. Its leverage-inspired mascot and fitness-themed branding have helped it stand out in a crowded meme market.

The $MAXI token also includes a staking mechanism that allows holders to earn daily smart-contract rewards. Stakers gain access to exclusive competitions and partner events, adding a passive earning component while encouraging long-term participation rather than short-term speculation.

Currently priced at $0.0002765, $MAXI is approaching its next scheduled presale increase. With momentum building and community activity remaining strong, Maxi Doge is positioning itself as a meme coin focused on sustained engagement rather than one-off hype.
