Matrixport: Bitcoin maintains a volatile pattern, analysts suggest patiently waiting for directional signals

On December 15, Matrixport published its daily analysis indicating that Bitcoin is currently maintaining a volatile consolidation state, fluctuating around $88,528 as of December 15, 2025. Despite the market generally expecting the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in January, and recent liquidity injections releasing some dovish signals,

the overall policy tone remains neutral, making it difficult to trigger significant allocation adjustments from institutional investors in the short term. Independent analyst Markus Thielen pointed out that as the Christmas holiday approaches, Bitcoin's implied volatility is likely to decline, institutional funds are tending to be cautious, and given the current cycle's weak retail participation, the market's recovery space is limited.

It is worth noting that since October 10, Bitcoin has still been in a downward structure, but a phase reversal opportunity may arise in January, suggesting that investors maintain patience and wait for clearer directional signals.
