Bitcoin (BTC) Market Update – December 18, 2025
Technical analysis shows a short-term bullish trend but faces strong resistance at 89K–91K, while macro events (US CPI, BoJ interest rate decision) could cause significant volatility.
BTC has recovered from the recent correction, with a clear short-term bullish trend on the 30-minute chart.
RSI (59.75) is at a neutral level - bullish, not overbought, MACD is positive and widening, confirming the upward momentum.
Price is above the EMA 20 and near the upper Bollinger band, indicating strength but also close to short-term resistance.
Key support at 86,000–86,400; breaking this range risks a rapid drop to 85,000.
LONG Preference to buy the dip above 86,000–86,400, target 89,000–91,000. Stop loss below 85,000.
SHORT Only consider if price is strongly rejected at 89K–91K or breaks below 85,000 with volume. Target 82,000–80,000. Stop loss above 89,500.
