Bitcoin’s (BTC) price is trading sideways below the moving average lines.

BTC price long-term prediction: ranging


Since November 21, as Coinidol.com reported, the largest cryptocurrency has stalled its decline above the $84,000 support. For the past month, the price of Bitcoin has been range-bound above the $84,000 support and below the moving averages. The Bitcoin price has remained steady above $84,000, although upward momentum has been limited by resistance near $94,000. Bitcoin has faced selling pressure near $94,000 since breaking through the 21-day SMA barrier. Bitcoin is currently declining after bullish momentum was halted by the 21-day moving average line.


On the downside, if Bitcoin falls but remains above the $84,000 support, the range-bound movement will continue. However, if Bitcoin loses its current support, it could fall further to $80,000.


Technical indicators      


  • Key supply zones: $120,000, $125,000, $130,000



  • Key demand zones: $100,000, $95,000, $90,000  

BTC price indicator analysis


The moving average lines run horizontally and above the price bars. Following its breakout above the 21-day SMA, the cryptocurrency price has fluctuated both below and above it. Buyers were unable to push the price above the 50-day SMA, resulting in a decline. On the 4-hour chart, the price bars move both below and above the horizontal moving average lines.

What is the next move for Bitcoin?


Bitcoin is trading sideways above the $84,000 support. The Bitcoin price is falling, although it has risen above the $87,000 support. The sideways movement will continue as the price bars remain below the moving average lines. Bitcoin will resume its upward trend if buyers maintain the price above the moving average lines. Currently, buyers are attempting to push the price above these lines.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
