Bitcoin bulls push toward range highs as 2026 yearly open becomes key resistance

The 2026 yearly open matters less as a number than as a behavioural marker: it is the reference point against which the year's performance is judged, so a sustained move above it can shift positioning more than the level itself warrants. That makes this a test of follow-through rather than of momentum, with the burden on bulls to convert repeated attempts into acceptance. Whether the range highs give way, or the yearly open caps another push, is the open question.
