$BTC began December with excitement — the course dropped below $86,000, and the market reacted with an avalanche of long position liquidations.

The reasons are simple, yet hard for emotions: outflow of ETFs and decreased liquidity, fear of a macro shock (yen correction, rising yields), as well as statements from large corporate holders who do not rule out sales in case of further declines — all of this fuels panic and amplifies volatility.

A trader on such days does not need forecasts — discipline is required. Here is what works simpler than prophets:

1) clear risk management (max 1–2% of capital per trade),

2) minimum leverage or its absence,

3) exit plan before entry,

4) DCA for long-term positions and

5) psychological check: are you buying due to FOMO or logic? #Trading #Psychology

What is most valuable now is not to "guess the bottom," but to preserve capital and nerves. Volatility creates opportunities for the prepared — but punishes those who trade on emotions.
