Alts are getting hit, bounces are weak, and most rallies are still corrective. Only a few names show real momentum — the rest are chopping or bleeding.
This isn’t a “buy everything” market. It’s a risk management, patience, and selectivity market.

I am buying back BTC around $86,000 to tactically trade a short-term relief move. As outlined in the Sunday Report, I see the probability for Bitcoin to revisit the 97k–107k region before the next major leg lower unfolds. Thats a 20% move from the current region, as trader a good risk reward trade with a tight stop loss. Still, I’m very bearish and I will play this move with absolute and the highest form of risk management. Means: I will make sure to place the stop loss at entry once in solid profit, also the short from 115-125k will be running and is not closed.
This setup is aimed at the few weeks only, before the strong bearish price action resumes with lower targets!
Bitcoin remains extremely unstable and bearish for the mid term, the strong downside continuation can happen at any moment, even before reaching the 97-107k zone. A deeper and faster sell-off is absolutely possible. So buying now should be taken with extreme high caution.
Short positions remain fully open. Any upside is treated as distribution and liquidity for the next leg down, with the 70k region still firmly in focus as main target. In case we visit the 97-107k region I would take fully profit again on the spot position and add the profits into the short!

There is no change from last week Sunday report. Therefore there will be no Sunday report today. Bitcoin remain in a strong bear market and we have not bottomed out yet$BTC
Today, Nikkei reported that the BOJ can do a rate hike at its Dec 18–19 meeting.
This was not what markets were expecting, and this news caused the Japan bond yield to spike.
As soon as yields started to go up, the markets started going down.
This is because every time the BOJ has raised rates, Bitcoin and altcoins have seen sharp downside moves.
Japan has been a major source of cheap liquidity for decades, and when Japanese policy tightens, carry trades unwind, liquidity pulls back, and the markets dump hard.
Another reason is the upcoming Dec 19 quarterly options expiry, when a large amount of stock and ETF options expire.
These expiries are worth trillions and often push markets lower before positions settle.
Now that these two events are happening close together, the downside pressure on the market is clearly higher.
Also, Bloomberg reported that BOJ is planning more rate hikes in 2026, which will make things worse.
I think if BOJ does a rate hike, the market will experience a flash crash before reversal.
