On January 4, Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin (BTC) held firm, stabilizing around $90,000, despite U.S.-Venezuela geopolitical tensions hitting a climax in the early hours of Saturday. The token briefly dipped below $90,000 that day but quickly rebounded above the level. Market analyst Micha?l van de Poppe noted that BTC is currently trading above its 21-day moving average.

Jamie Cox, managing partner at Virginia-based Harris Financial Group, said the broader market’s reaction to the Venezuela situation is likely limited, and market-moving news could emerge from Sunday’s OPEC meeting.

Technical indicators: - The daily candlestick close has held above the downtrend line ($90,588)—triggering the anticipated rebo
