On-chain data insights

  • On December 1, after a peak inflow of 47,930 BTC, it quickly reversed, suspected short-term selling pressure release

Hodler patterns:

  • 6 out of 7 days net outflow, hoarding sentiment dominates

  • Exchange circulating supply continues to decline, reducing potential selling pressure

  • Reserve USD value fluctuates between $24 billion and $25.9 billion, price adjustments did not trigger panic selling

Market sentiment and public opinion

Mainstream narrative on social media

Short-term cautious faction:

  • The community questions the recent price drop without obvious negative news, attributing it to coordinated liquidation operations

  • Technical analysts warn that bear flag tests lower support, short-term volatility risks are increasing

  • Policy events (interest rate decision) approaching are seen as volatility catalysts

Long-term optimists:

  • Institutional adoption milestones (state-level reserves, mainstream company recommendations) are believed to bring continuous capital inflow

  • Historical pullbacks are framed as normal phenomena within bull market cycles, often signaling a prelude to upward movement

  • Famous hodlers (like Michael Saylor) continue to advocate for a strategy of holding through cycles

Key opinion leader viewpoints

Technical faction (Rekt Capital):

  • Emphasizing that the degree of resistance level rejection is weakening, support zone is strengthening, may break through the consolidation range

  • Questioning the integrity of the cycle but maintaining objectivity, without emotional bias

Macro faction (Mister Crypto):

  • Believing that despite favorable economic data, panic sentiment is still fermenting

  • Expecting macro liquidity changes and a decline in Bitcoin's dominance will trigger a relief rebound

Fundamental faction (Vijay Boyapati):

  • Firm long-term belief, viewing current FUD as a precursor to bottoming

  • Emphasizing the transformative significance of institutional platform adoption on the adoption curve

24-48 hour outlook

Scenario analysis

Bearish scenario (probability 60%):

  • Trigger condition: Drop below $89,342 (4-hour lower Bollinger band)

  • Target: Test $88,500 support cluster, in extreme cases probe down to $87,987

  • Driving factors: 4-hour MACD negative divergence continues, derivative positions decrease, short-term selling pressure not fully released

Bullish scenario (probability 40%):

  • Trigger condition: Hold above $89,525 and break through $90,000 resistance

  • Target: Rebound to the $90,000-$91,000 options pain point range

  • Driving factors: 1-hour/daily MACD divergence realization, on-chain net outflow supports the bottom, RSI oversold correction

Key observation indicators

Short-term bull-bear dividing line:

  • $89,342: 4-hour lower Bollinger band, if lost, will accelerate downward exploration

  • $89,525: Short liquidation starting point, recovery will trigger a rebound

Volume matching:

  • Current 24-hour transaction: $49.89 billion, need to break through $90,000 with volume to confirm reversal

  • If it drops below $88,500 with low volume, it will continue to weaken

Risks and opportunities

Main risks:

  • Decline in derivative positions suggests momentum exhaustion, lack of funding to push up

  • Social sentiment differentiation, market manipulation narratives weaken retail confidence

  • The gap between SMA50 ($99,499) and SMA200 ($109,267) is large, technical pressure is heavy

Potential opportunity:

  • On-chain hoarding signals are clear, supply-side contraction is a long-term benefit

  • Oversold indicators combined with MACD divergence, technical rebound window opens

  • The maximum pain point for options is at $90,000-$91,000, institutions have the motivation to push prices toward this range

Operational advice

Aggressive strategy:

  • Attempting to bottom in the $88,500-$88,874 support range, with stop loss set below $87,900

  • Target looking at $90,000-$91,000, risk-reward ratio about 2:1

Conservative strategy:

  • Wait for the price to recover above $90,000 and stabilize before going long, confirm reversal signals

  • Or wait for a drop below $88,500 to position near $87,987, aiming for a deep rebound

Defensive strategy:

  • Hodlers can continue to hold, on-chain data supports long-term allocation logic

  • Short-term traders are mainly waiting for a clearer direction before re-entering
