Saturday's move lifted Bitcoin sharply off its prior close, a gain that stands out against weeks of mostly sideways action. Single-day moves of this size are rare for an asset that has been grinding in a wide range for months.

The immediate level the market will focus on is $90,000, which Bitcoin traded near before the most recent leg lower. Clearing that area with conviction would put the coin back into territory it held briefly before sellers regained control.
